High Excitation Intensity Opens a New Trapping Channel in Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Perovskite Nanoparticles
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
We investigated the excited-state dynamics of CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite nanoparticles (NPs) and bulk crystals under various excitation intensity regimes using transient absorption spectroscopy. We confirmed the sub-band gap ...
Catalytic evaluation of nickel nanoparticles in methane steam reforming
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Development of a highly efficient and coke-resistant, nickel nanoparticles (Ni.NPs) based catalyst in the steam reformation reaction of methane is reported. The catalyst was prepared by dispersing Ni-nanoparticles over ...
Petroleum refinery wastewater treatment: A pilot scale study
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
A three-step pilot plant was designed, fabricated and tested for the treatment of highly contaminated petroleum refinery wastewater. The three-step process consisted of an electrocoagulation (EC) unit, a biological treatment ...
The status of industrial and municipal effluent treatment with membrane bioreactor technology
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
The status of MBR technology has been scrutinised with reference to (a) available commercial technologies and their characteristics, (b) key design and performance parameters of existing full-scale installations, and (c) ...
Functionalization of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and its effects on polysulfone-ZnO membranes
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Incorporation of nanoparticles in membranes has recently been reported to lead to enhancement of the membrane performance for various applications. In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized via sol-gel method using ...
Self-assembly of a surfactin nanolayer at solid-liquid and air-liquid interfaces
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Surfactin, a sustainable and environmentally friendly surface active agent, is used as a model to study the adsorption of biosurfactants at hydrophobic and hydrophilic solid–liquid interfaces as well as the air–liquid ...
Direct Experimental Evidence for Photoinduced Strong-Coupling Polarons in Organolead Halide Perovskite Nanoparticles
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
Echoing the roaring success of their bulk counterparts, nano-objects built from organolead halide perovskites (OLHP) present bright prospects for surpassing the performances of their conventional organic and inorganic ...
Novel fluorinated surfactants for enhanced oil recovery in carbonate reservoirs
(
Wiley-Liss Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Novel surfactant‐polymer (SP) formulations containing fluorinated amphoteric surfactant (surfactant‐A) and fluorinated anionic surfactant (surfactant‐B) with partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) were evaluated for ...
Outlook and challenges for hydrogen storage in nanoporous materials
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Considerable progress has been made recently in the use of nanoporous materials for hydrogen storage. In this article, the current status of the field and future challenges are discussed, ranging from important open ...
Enhancing Power Conversion Efficiency of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Using TiO2-MWCNT Composite Photoanodes
(
IEEE Electron Devices Society
, 2016 , Article)
The aim of this work is to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using composite films consisting of titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). ...
