Cerium oxide loaded with Gum Arabic as environmentally friendly anti-corrosion additive for protection of coated steel
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
The depreciation of assets and safety threats because of corrosion has forced to develop eco-friendly and smarter corrosion protection strategies. In this study, natural Gum Arabic (GA) was used as a corrosion inhibitor ...
Effect of the modified hybrid particle on the corrosion inhibition performance of polyolefin based coatings for carbon steel
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
This work reports the corrosion inhibition performance of modified hybrid particles reinforced into polyolefin matrix. The cerium oxide coated zinc oxide hybrid particles (CeO2@ZnO) were synthesized via a chemical precipitation ...
Effectiveness of epoxy coating modified with yttrium oxide loaded with imidazole on the corrosion protection of steel
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
The search for highly effective corrosion protection solutions to avoid degradation of the metallic parts is enabling the development of polymeric organic coatings. Of particular relevance, polymeric nanocomposite coatings, ...
Fast and Scalable Synthesis of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 Cathode by Sol-Gel-Assisted Microwave Sintering
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
High-voltage spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is a promising cathode material for high-energy-density and high-power-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The high cost of the currently available LIBs needs to be addressed ...
Mussel-mimicking sulfobetaine-based copolymer with metal tunable gelation, self-healing and antibacterial capability
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
In the present study, the sulfobetaine-based copolymer bearing a dopamine functionality showed gel formation adjusted by the application of metal salts for gelation and various values of pH. Normally, the liquid-like ...
Tandem osmotic engine based on hydrogel particles with antipolyelectrolyte and polyelectrolyte effect fuelled by both salinity gradient modes
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, we propose a new approach to attain energy by salinity gradient engines with pistons based on hydrogels possessing polyelectrolyte and antipolyelectrolyte effects in a tandem arrangement, providing energy ...
Sanitation and dewatering of human urine via membrane bioreactor and membrane distillation and its reuse for fertigation
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Source separation and recovery of human urine have often been proposed as an effective way to achieve a more sustainable waste-to-resource cycle. Its high density of available macronutrients (N–P–K) in urine makes it an ...
Fouling and performance of outer selective hollow fiber membrane in osmotic membrane bioreactor: Cross flow and air scouring effects
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
This study assessed impacts of cross-flow velocity (CFV) and air scouring on the performance and membrane fouling mitigation of a side-stream module containing outer-selective hollow fiber thin film composite forward osmosis ...
Pyrite (FeS2)-supported ultrafiltration system for removal of mercury (II) from water
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
This study investigated the Hg(II) removal efficiencies of the reactive adsorbent membrane (RAM) hybrid filtration process, a removal process that produces stable final residuals. The reaction mechanism between Hg(II) and ...
Theoretical insight into effect of cation–anion pairs on CO2 reduction on bismuth electrocatalysts
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
This study presents theoretical insight into the mechanism of the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to formic acid (HCOOH) on Bi (012) surfaces in the presence of alkali metal cations (M+: Cs+, K+, and Li+) and/or halide ...
