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 ...
Chlorine oxidation of VOCs at a semi-rural site in Beijing: significant chlorine liberation from ClNO2 and subsequent gas- and particle-phase Cl–VOC production
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2018)
Nitryl chloride (ClNO2) accumulation at night acts
as a significant reservoir for active chlorine and impacts the
following day’s photochemistry when the chlorine atom is
liberated at sunrise. Here, we report simultaneous ...
A fumonisins immunosensor based on polyanilino-carbon nanotubes doped with palladium telluride quantum dots
(MDPI, 2015)
An impedimetric immunosensor for fumonisins was developed based on
poly(2,5-dimethoxyaniline)-multi-wall carbon nanotubes doped with palladium telluride
quantum dots onto a glassy carbon surface. The composite was assembled ...
An electrochemically active green synthesized polycrystalline NiO/MgO catalyst: Use in photo-catalytic applications
(Elsevier, 2018)
For many years, research scientists have aided communities in their tremendous efforts towards environmental remediation. Due to their high physical and chemical stability, metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have been used as ...
Application on gold nanoparticles-dotted 4-nitrophenylazo graphene in a label-free impedimetric deoxynivalenol immunosensor
(MDPI, 2015)
In this paper, we report a new concept to construct a label-free electrochemical
inhibition-based immunosensor for the detection of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON)
in cereal samples. The electrochemical impedance ...
Synthesis and characterization of carbon doped TiO2 photocatalysts supported on stainless steel mesh by sol-gel method
(Korean Carbon Society, 2017)
This study synthesized pure anatase carbon doped TiO2 photocatalysts supported on a stainless
steel mesh using a sol-gel solution of 8% polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/dimethylformamide
(DMF)/TiCl4. The influence of the pyrolysis ...
Desalination and seawater quality at Green Point, Cape Town: A study on the effects of marine sewage outfalls
(Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2017)
This paper presents our collection methods, laboratory protocols and findings in respect of sewage pollution
affecting seawater and marine organisms in Table Bay, Cape Town, South Africa, then moves to consider ...
Spectroscopic and voltammetric analysis of platinum group metals in road dust and roadside soil
(MDPI, 2018)
The emission of toxic compounds by increasing anthropogenic activities affects human
health and the environment. Heavy road traffic and mining activities are the major anthropogenic
activities contributing to the presence ...
A two-decade anthropogenic and biogenic isoprene emissions study in a London urban background and a London urban traffic site
(MDPI, 2018)
A relationship between isoprene and 1,3-butadiene mixing ratios was established to
separate the anthropogenic and biogenic fractions of the measured isoprene in London air in both
urban background (Eltham) and urban ...
Compaction of a zirconium metal–organic framework (UiO-66) for high density hydrogen storage applications
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)
We report a rare case whereby a metal–organic framework (MOF), namely UiO-66, is compacted at high
pressure ( 700 MPa or 100 000 psi) resulting in densification and improved total volumetric hydrogen
storage capacity, ...
