Influence of Ag nanoparticles on state of the art MnO2 nanorods performance as an electrocatalyst for lithium air batteries
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract The need for an alternative and efficient electrocatalyst to replace Pt-based noble materials is a goal of prime importance in Li– air battery technology. In this work, novel silver nanoparticles-incorporated MnO2 ...
Preparation and characterization of wollastonite/titanium oxide nanofiber bioceramic composite as a future implant material
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, novel composites consisting of electrospun titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers incorporated into high-purity wollastonite glass ceramics were prepared as materials for use in hard tissue engineering applications. ...

Three planar miniaturized perchlorate membrane sensors (3×5mm2) are prepared using a flexible Kaptan substrate coated with nitron-perchlorate (NT-ClO4) [sensor 1], methylene blue-perchlorate (MB-ClO4) [sensor II] and ...
Ultra-trace Measurements of 210Pb in natural occurring radioactive materials by ICP-MS
(
Elsevier
, 2010 , Article)
Collision cell inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (CC-ICP-MS) was investigated as a possible alternative to nuclear analytical techniques for the determination of 210Pb. The formation of isobaric and polyatomic ...
Influence of bimetallic nanoparticles composition and synthesis temperature on the electrocatalytic activity of NiMn-incorporated carbon nanofibers toward urea oxidation
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
High efficiency, cost effectivity and the availability of hydrogen are the advantages of
electrolysis as a strategy for urea-containing wastewater treatment. Composition,
morphology, and synthesis-temperature distinctly ...
A market basket survey of As, Zn and Se in rice imports in Qatar: Health implications
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Qatar is dependent on importation of rice, its staple dish, and is therefore susceptible to compromises of food quality in the global market. This market basket study assesses potential health risks of As exposure from ...
Influence of nitrogen doping on the electrocatalytic activity of Ni-incorporated carbon nanofibers toward urea oxidation
(
Elsevier Ltd
