Heat transfer enhancement of nanofluids using iron nanoparticles decorated carbon nanotubes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Enhancing heat transfer in thermal fluid systems can contribute significantly towards the improvement of thermal efficiency resulting in reducing energy consumption and hence carbon emission. Conventional fluids like water ...
Propylene oxide assisted sol-gel synthesis of zinc ferrite nanoparticles for solar fuel production
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This paper reports the synthesis of phase-pure Zn-ferrite nanoparticles with high specific surface area (SSA) via the propylene oxide (PO) assisted sol–gel method. For the synthesis of Zn-ferrite, metal precursors (ZnCl2 ...
Synthesis and characterisation of Co2+-incorporated ZnO nanoparticles prepared through a sol-gel method
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The properties of ZnO nanoparticles were modified by doping them with cobalt ions (Co2+) in various compositions through a sol-gel route. The Co2+-doped ZnO nanoparticles were characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD), ...
Sol-gel derived CeO2-Fe2O3 nanoparticles: Synthesis, characterization and solar thermochemical application
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Synthesis of CeO2-Fe2O3 nanoparticles via propylene oxide (PO) aided sol-gel method for the production of solar fuels via thermochemical H2O/CO2 splitting cycles is reported in this paper. For the synthesis of CeO2-Fe2O3, ...
Storage of energy harvested from a miniature turbine in a novel organic capacitor
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The potential of harvesting energy generated from a (5-cm) miniature wind turbine and storing the charge in a novel organic capacitor is experimentally investigated. The energy is generated by subjecting the wind turbine ...
Targeted delivery of rifampicin to tuberculosis-infected macrophages: design, in-vitro, and in-vivo performance of rifampicin-loaded poly(ester amide)s nanocarriers
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
We have developed a nano drug delivery system for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) using rifampicin (RF) encapsulated in poly(ester amide)s nanoparticles (PEA-RF-NPs), which are biocompatible polymers. In this study, ...
Structural and magnetic studies of La2BMnO6 (B=Ni and Co) nanoparticles prepared by microwave sintering approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Double perovskite La2BMnO6 (B=Ni and Co) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by microwave sintering approach (MWS). The crystal structure properties of LBMO nanoparticles were systematically investigated using X-ray ...
