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). ...
Flocculation and viscoelastic behavior of industrial papermaking suspensions
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
The effects of the surface charge type and density C496, C492 and A130LMW polyacrylamides (PAMs) on the rheological behavior of real industrial papermaking suspensions were quantitatively related to the degree of flocculation ...
Trap States and Their Dynamics in Organometal Halide Perovskite Nanoparticles and Bulk Crystals
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
Organometal halide perovskites have attracted tremendous attention for optoelectronic applications. Charge carrier trapping is one of the dominant processes often deteriorating the performance of devices. Here, we investigate ...
Synthesis, Characterization and Surface Properties of Amidosulfobetaine Surfactants Bearing Odd-Number Hydrophobic Tail
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Three amidosulfobetaine surfactants were synthesized namely: 3‐(N‐pentadecanamidopropyl‐N,N‐dimethyl ammonium) propanesulfonate (2a); 3‐(N‐heptadecanamidopropyl‐N,N‐dimethyl ammonium) propanesulfonate (2b), and ...
Investigation of the hydrogen adsorbed density inside the pores of MOF-5 from path integral grand canonical Monte Carlo at supercritical and subcritical temperature
(
Science in China Press
, 2016 , Article)
We examine the high density limit of the adsorption isotherms of hydrogen on MOF-5. The isotherms are calculated using quantum GCMC simulations over the pressure range: 0–150 atm (1 atm = 1.01325 × 105 Pa) in the subcritical ...
Pilot-scale spiral wound membrane assessment for THM precursor rejection from upland waters
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2016 , Article)
The outcomes of a pilot-scale study of the rejection of trihalomethanes (THMs) precursors by commercial ultrafiltration/nanofiltration (UF/NF) spiral-wound membrane elements are presented based on a single surface water ...
Benchmarking the Self-Assembly of Surfactin Biosurfactant at the Liquid–Air Interface to those of Synthetic Surfactants
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
The adsorption of surfactin, a lipopeptide biosurfactant, at the liquid–air interface has been investigated in this work. The maximum adsorption density and the nature and the extent of lateral interaction between the ...
Effect of charge type and density of polyacrylamide on the electrokinetics behavior of flocculated bentonite suspensions
(
AIChE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The study of electrokinetics behavior of clay suspensions is of fundamental importance in many industrial applications. This paper addresses the electrokinetics behavior of polyacrylamide (PAM)- bentonite suspensions. The ...
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 ...
Analysis of partial electrocoalescence by Level-Set and finite element methods
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2016 , Article)
The coalescence of a water drop in a dieletric oil phase at a water layer interface in the presence of an electric field is simulated by solving the Navier Stokes and charge conservation equations with the finite element ...
