Interfacial Phenomenon and Nanostructural Enhancements in Palladium Loaded Lanthanum Hydroxide Nanorods for Heterogeneous Catalytic Applications
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2018 , Article)
Hydrogenation and cross-coupling reactions are of great importance for industrial applications and noble metal based catalysts are filling the void since the last few decades. However, the high cost of noble metals and ...
Peach resin coated silica particles for imidacloprid removal as a greener approach to water remediation
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
Pesticides are one of the major toxic pollutants that can be lethal even at trace levels. They generally enter into the water reservoirs through agricultural run-off and hence pose serious threat to flora and fauna of ...
Modulation of wettability, gradient and adhesion on self-assembled monolayer by counterion exchange and pH
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, two quaternary ammonium salts derived from L-lipoic acid were applied for self-assembled monolayers formation on rough structured gold surface. The derivatives differ in functionality since one possesses ...
Multi-component MWCNT/NG/EP-based bipolar plates with enhanced mechanical and electrical characteristics fabricated by compression moulding
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In this work, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), natural graphite (NG) and epoxy (EP) were used to fabricate bipolar plates by the compression moulding technique. The mechanical and thermal behaviours of the as-developed ...
Precious metal free Ni/Cu/Mo trimetallic nanocomposite supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes as highly efficient and durable anode-catalyst for alkaline direct methanol fuel cells
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) proved to be an auspicious choice in the applications of portable power electronics and energy transportation, apart from their high cost catalysts materials. To this end, we have developed ...
Ultra-low Pt-decorated NiCu bimetallic alloys nanoparticles supported on reduced graphene oxide for electro-oxidation of methanol
(
Cambridge University Press
, 2018 , Article)
The selectivity of catalyst is an essential factor in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) and plays an important role to improve their performance. To this end, platinum (Pt)-based low-cost trimetallic catalysts have been ...
