Modification of polyethylene terephthalate track etched membranes by planar magnetron sputtered Ti/TiO2 thin films
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study investigates the surface modification of polyethylene terephthalate track-etched membranes by planar magnetron sputtering of titanium and titanium dioxide thin films to improve its hydrophilicity and photocatalytic ...
Chitosan/PEO nanofibers electrospun on metallized track-etched membranes: fabrication and characterization
(Elsevier, 2021)
The development of next-generation adsorption, separation, and filtration materials is growing with an increased research focus on polymer composites. In this study, a novel blend of chitosan (CS) and polyethylene oxide ...
Electronics of anion hot injection-synthesized te-functionalized kesterite nanomaterial
(MDPI, 2021)
Metal chalcogenides such as copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) have been intensively studied as potential photovoltaic cell materials, but their viability have been marred by crystal defects and low open circuit potential (Voc) ...
Effect of calcination time on the physicochemical properties and photocatalytic performance of carbon and nitrogen co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2020)
The application of highly active nano catalysts in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs)
improves the production of non-selective hydroxyl radicals and co-oxidants for complete remediation
of polluted water. This study ...
Trace elements risk assessment for consumption of wild mussels along South Africa coastline
(Elsevier, 2021)
The study aimed to contribute to the scarce data on concentrations in the soft tissue of wild mussels growing in coastal cities of South Africa. The intake of 26 micro and macroelements was estimated. The mass fractions ...
Tropospheric modeling of acetic acid in the UK for summer, winter and spring seasons using a mesoscale 3-dimensional chemistry and transport model, WRF-Chem-CRI
(Elsevier, 2021)
The measurement of acetic acid during the ClearfLo campaign for Winter 2012 and Summer 2012 in London and at the Weybourne Research Station (East Anglia), UK for Spring 2013 gives the average ± 1σ mixing ratios of 45.9 ± ...
Chemical characterisation of benzene oxidation products under high- And low-NOx conditions using chemical ionisation mass spectrometry
(Copernicus GmbH, 2021)
Aromatic hydrocarbons are a class of volatile organic compounds associated with anthropogenic activity and make up a significant fraction of urban volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions that contribute to the formation ...
Herbicides in Camps Bay (Cape Town, South Africa), supplemented
(Elsevier, 2021)
During 2017 the herbicides alachlor, atrazine, butachlor, metolachlor, and simazine were detected in water samples, beach sediments and marine biota collected at Camps Bay, Cape Town, South Africa. During that period, the ...
Dry Gongronema latifolium aqueous extract mediated silver nanoparticles by one-step in-situ biosynthesis for antibacterial activities
(Elsevier, 2021)
In-situ biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles for antibacterial activities doped with aqueous extract of dry Gongronema Latifolium (DGL) is presented in this work. The absorbance was determined using a UV-Visible analysis ...
Molecularly imprinted polypyrrole sensors for the detection of pyrene in aqueous solutions
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Recently, electrochemical sensors have emerged as tools for polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) detection that are cost-effective, easy to produce and use, highly selective and sensitive, and with good reproducibility. Polypyrrole ...
