Oxygen passivation as effective technique for tailoring the nature of band gap of silicon nanowires
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Silicon nanowires have been subjected to several experiential and theoretical studies, including chemical tuning with different substituents aiming to tailor the band gap as well as increasing optical absorption efficiency ...
Recent progress and new developments in post-combustion carbon-capture technology with amine based solvents
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article Review)
Currently, post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) is the only industrial CO2 capture technology that is already demonstrated at full commercial scale in the TMC Mongstad in Norway (300,000 tonnes per year CO2 captured) and ...
Electrostatic phase separation: A review
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2015 , Article Review)
The current understanding and developments in the electrostatic phase separation are reviewed. The literature covers predominantly two immiscible and inter-dispersed liquids following the last review on the topic some 15 ...
Ab initio molecular dynamics study of the interlayer and micropore structure of aqueous montmorillonite clays
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to gain an understanding of the interfacial microscopic structure and reactivity of fully hydrated clay edges. The models studied include both micropore and ...
Zero-bias photocurrents in highly-disordered networks of Ge and Si nanowires
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
Semiconducting nanowire (NW) devices have garnered attention in self-powered electronic and optoelectronic applications. This work explores and exhibits, for the first time for visible light, clear evidence of the zero-biased ...
Reaction kinetics of some important alkanolamines with carbon dioxide in aqueous solutions using stopped flow technique
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The kinetics of the reactions between aqueous solutions of carbon dioxide and Aminomethylpropanol (AMP), Aminobutanol (AB), Aminopropanol (AP), Diethanolamine (DEA) and Ethanolamine (MEA) were investigated over a temperature ...
Thermochemical treatment of fly ash for synthesis of mesoporous activated carbon
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2015 , Article)
A mesoporous activated carbon is produced from oil fly ash (OFA) using chemical and thermal treatments at different activation conditions. The ash samples were refluxed with a range of compositions of sulfuric, nitric, and ...
Rheology of organoclay assisted extrusion of HDPE using Particle Image Velocimetry
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2015 , Article)
Wall slip is often seen as a source of flow enhancement and can play a significant role during certain melt instabilities in polymer processing. In the present investigation, the effect of organoclay on the wall slip of ...
CO2 sorption kinetics of scaled-up polyethylenimine-functionalized mesoporous silica sorbent
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Two CO2 solid sorbents based on polyethylenimine, PEI (Mn ∼ 423 and 10K), impregnated into mesoporous silica (MPS) foam prepared in kilogram quantities via a scale-up process were synthesized and systematically characterized ...
Experimental determination of carbamate formation and amine protonation constants in 3-amino-1-propanol-CO2-H2O system and their temperature dependency
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The equilibrium constant for the formation of carbamate in 3-amino-1-propanol-CO2-H2O system was evaluated at different CO2 loadings, different temperature values, and different amine protonation constant. The studied ...
