Surface-modified polyacrylonitrile nanofibers as supports
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
Polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (PAN-nfs) are one of the most studied nanofibres because of their excellent characteristics, such as good mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and good thermal stability. Due to the easy ...
Effect of nanoparticle (Pd, Pd/Pt, Ni) deposition on high temperature hydrogenation of Ti-V alloys in gaseous flow containing CO
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)
The hydrogenation properties of Ti-V hydrides coated with nanoparticles have been studied in gaseous mixtures of argon and hydrogen with and without additions of 1% CO. Nanoparticles of Pd, Ni, and co-deposited Pd/Pt with ...
Antibacterial activities of bacteria isolated from the marine sponges Isodictya compressa and Higginsia bidentifera collected from Algoa Bay, South Africa
(MDPI AG, 2017)
Due to the rise inmulti-drug resistant pathogens and other diseases, there is renewed interest
in marine sponge endosymbionts as a rich source of natural products (NPs). The South African marine
environment is rich in ...
Complexation-based detection of nickel(ii) at a graphene-chelate probe in the presence of cobalt and zinc by adsorptive stripping voltammetry
(MDPI, 2017)
The adsorptive stripping voltammetric detection of nickel and cobalt in water samples
at metal film electrodes has been extensively studied. In this work, a novel, environmentally
friendly, metal-free electrochemical ...
Quantum dot nanotoxicity investigations using human lung cells and toxor electrochemical enzyme assay methodology
(American Chemical Society, 2017)
Recent studies have suggested that certain
nanomaterials can interfere with optically based cytotoxicity
assays resulting in underestimations of nanomaterial toxicity. As
a result there has been growing interest in the ...
Eliminating micro-porous layer from gas diffusion electrode for use in high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell
(Elsevier, 2017)
In this work, we report a simple strategy to improve the performance of high temperature polymer
electrolyte membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) by eliminating the micro-porous layer (MPL) from its gas
diffusion electrodes ...
