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 ...
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 ...
Thermodynamic investigation of hydrogen enrichment and carbon suppression using chemical additives in ethanol dry reforming
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, a thermodynamic equilibrium analysis has been performed on ethanol dry reforming in presence of commonly used reducing agents such as glycine, hydrazine, urea and ammonia. The effect of these agents on ...
Hybrid coagulation-NF membrane process for brackish water treatment: Effect of antiscalant on water characteristics and membrane fouling
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Antiscalants have been used to inhibit the formation of scales and reduce the risk of membrane scaling. However, issues such as the increased of biofouling tendency and contradictory observations of organic fouling propensity ...
Heat transfer enhancement of nanofluids using iron nanoparticles decorated carbon nanotubes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Enhancing heat transfer in thermal fluid systems can contribute significantly towards the improvement of thermal efficiency resulting in reducing energy consumption and hence carbon emission. Conventional fluids like water ...
Enhancing oil removal from water using ferric oxide nanoparticles doped carbon nanotubes adsorbents
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Oil contaminated water is one of the challenges in water resources management. It is crucial to remove the oil droplets from water in order to meet the discharge regulations set by the environmental authorities. Carbon ...
Linear dynamics modelling of droplet deformation in a pulsatile electric field
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2016 , Article)
A linear dynamic model of water droplet deformation in the presence of an electric field has been developed. Analytical solutions of the differential equation of motion are provided with different waveforms as forcing ...
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 ...
Enhanced photovoltaic performance with co-sensitization of a ruthenium(ii) sensitizer and an organic dye in dye-sensitized solar cells
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
Co-sensitization is demonstrated to be an effective technique to enhance the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells, where an efficiency of 9.23% is achieved by mixing N3 and RK-1 dyes. The assembled solar cells are ...
In situ DRIFTS Studies on Cu, Ni and CuNi catalysts for Ethanol Decomposition Reaction
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
Catalyst nanopowders containing copper and nickel were synthesized using solution combustion synthesis method for hydrogen production from ethanol decomposition. Detailed in situ DRIFTS studies were conducted on three ...
