Solar energy materials-evolution and niche applications: A literature review
(MDPI, 2022)
The demand for energy has been a global concern over the years due to the ever increasing
population which still generate electricity from non-renewable energy sources. Presently, energy
produced worldwide is mostly from ...
Extraction and synthesis of silicon nanoparticles (sinps) from sugarcane bagasse ash: A mini-review
(MDPI, 2022)
This current study reviews the utilization of the traditional extraction methods and latest findings in extraction of silica from agricultural wastes, in particular, sugarcane bagasse, using inorganic acids to produce ...
Green synthesis of crystalline silica from sugarcane bagasse ash: Physico-chemical properties
(MDPI, 2022)
Sugarcane bagasse South Africa is an agricultural waste that poses many environmental
and human health problems. Sugarcane bagasse dumps attract many insects that harm the health
of the population and cause many diseases. ...
Development of adsorptive materials for selective removal of toxic metals in wastewater: A review
(MDPI, 2022)
Removal of toxic metals is essential to achieving sustainability in wastewater purification.
The achievement of efficient treatment at a low cost can be seriously challenging. Adsorption methods
have been successfully ...
Antibacterial and photodegradation of organic dyes using lamiaceae-mediated zno nanoparticles: A review
(MDPI, 2022)
The green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using plant extracts has been
receiving tremendous attention as an alternative to conventional physical and chemical methods.
The Lamiaceae plant family is one ...
Materials, components, assembly and performance of flexible polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell: A review
(Elsevier, 2023)
With emerging demand of potable and wearable electronic devices, reliable and flexible energy suppliers are
inevitable. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) attract great attention due to high energy density
and ...
Nanostructured silicon derived from an agricultural residue bagasse ash via magnesiothermic reduction method
(MDPI, 2023)
This study presents the magnesiothermic reduction of silica into silicon. This reduction
process occurs at a lower reaction temperature than its carbothermal counterpart. Furthermore, silica
was extracted from sugarcane ...
Fabrication of polyoxometalate-modified palladium–nickel/reduced graphene oxide alloy catalysts for enhanced oxygen reduction reaction activity
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)
Designing advanced nanocatalysts for effectively catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of great
importance for practical applications of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). In this work, the reduced
graphene ...
