Tailoring Organic Cation of 2D Air-Stable Organometal Halide Perovskites for Highly Efficient Planar Solar Cells
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
2D perovskites have recently been shown to exhibit significantly improved environmental stability. Derived from their 3D analogues, 2D perovskites are formed by inserting bulky alkylammonium cations in‐between the anionic ...
Solar photocatalytic degradation of 2-chlorophenol with ZnO nanoparticles: optimisation with D-optimal design and study of intermediate mechanisms
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, the photocatalytic degradation of toxic pollutant (2-chlorophenol) in the presence of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) was investigated under solar radiation. The three main factors, namely pH of solution, solar ...
Effect of membrane performance including fouling on cost optimization in brackish water desalination process
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2017 , Article)
Membrane selection is a crucial step that will affect the economic feasibility of the membrane water treatment process. A comprehensive evaluation consisting of Verberne Cost Model, assessment of membrane performance and ...
High-efficiency c-Si based interdigitated point contact back heterojunction solar cells
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
We report on the modeling and performance optimization studies of point contact back heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. BHJ solar cell technology is a combination of front heterojunction (a-Si:H/c-Si) solar cell technology ...
Influence of Surfactant Structure on the Stability of Water-in-Oil Emulsions under High-Temperature High-Salinity Conditions
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2017 , Article)
Emulsified water-in-oil (W/O) systems are extensively used in the oil industry for water control and acid stimulation. Emulsifiers are commonly utilized to emulsify a water-soluble material to form W/O emulsion. The selection ...
Instability in CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells due to elemental migration and chemical composition changes
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
Organic-inorganic halide perovskites have rapidly grown as favorable materials for photovoltaic applications, but accomplishing long-term stability is still a major research problem. This work demonstrates a new insight ...
PdZn nanoparticle electrocatalysts synthesized by solution combustion for methanol oxidation reaction in an alkaline medium
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Herein, we report the synthesis of PdZn nanoparticle (NP) electrocatalysts for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The PdZn NPs were synthesized by solution combustion synthesis in the presence of Pd(NO3)2·xH2O, ...
Investigation of the effect of polyelectrolyte structure and type on the electrokinetics and flocculation behavior of bentonite dispersions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
The influence of surface charge type and density, and molecular weight of cationic, anionic and amphoteric polyacrylamide (PAM) on the electrokinetics, adsorption and flocculation behavior of highly stable bentonite ...
Large CO2 uptake on a monolayer of CaO
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Density functional theory calculations are used to study gas adsorption properties of a recently synthesized CaO monolayer, which is found to be thermodynamically stable in its buckled form. Due to its topology and strong ...
Influence of composite particle formation on the performance and economics of grit removal
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Grit is routinely removed at the headworks of municipal wastewater treatment works to limit its onerous impact on downstream processes. Grit separation technologies are normally based on sedimentation of a homogeneous ...
