MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Nanotechnology is an uppermost priority area of research in several nations presently because of its enormous capability and financial impact. One of the most promising environmental utilizations of nanotechnology has been ...
Progress and Prospects of Nanocellulose-Based Membranes for Desalination and Water Treatment
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Membrane-based desalination has proved to be the best solution for solving the water shortage issues globally. Membranes are extremely beneficial in the effective recovery of clean water from contaminated water sources, ...
Highly efficient sustainable photocatalytic Z-scheme hydrogen production from an α-Fe2O3 engineered ZnCdS heterostructure
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
We present an α-Fe2O3/Zn0.4Cd0.6S heterostructure that shows visible light photocatalytic H2 production as high as 536.8μmolh−1 with apparent quantum efficiency of 11.2% at 420nm. The UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra of ...
Engineering and understanding of synergistic effects in the interfaces of rGO-CNTs/PtPd nanocomposite revealed fast electro-oxidation of methanol
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
The developing human societies are being faced provoking energy crises due to higher demands of energy for increasing worldwide populations. The massive depletion of natural resources and global warming issues sound a laud ...
Effect of Leaf Powdering Technique on the Characteristics of Date Palm-Derived Cellulose
(
American Chemical Society
, 2023 , Article)
The date palm tree (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is the oldest cultivated tree and is very commonly seen in the Arab countries. In recent times, researchers are working on the conversion of the plant-based biowaste into value-added ...
Sustainable Preparation of Graphene Quantum Dots from Leaves of Date Palm Tree
(
American Chemical Society
, 2023 , Article)
The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera), a subtropical and tropical tree, included in the family Palmae (Arecaceae) is one of the oldest cultivated plants of mankind. Date palm is a major agricultural product in the semi-arid ...
Experimental analysis and modeling of the methane degradation in a three stage biofilter using composted sawdust as packing media
(
J. Environ. Manage.
, 2021 , Article)
Methane gas is a very effective greenhouse gas and the second-largest contributor to global warming. Biofiltration is an effective technology that uses microorganisms to degrade the pollutant by oxidizing it. In this work, ...
Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity of a Molybdate-Intercalated Iron-Based Layered Double Hydroxide
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Herein, we report the design and successful fabrication of new Mg/Fe layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with different Mg/Fe molar ratios (2:1, 3:1, and 4:1) by a coprecipitation method. The prepared Mg/Fe (4:1) LDH sample ...
