Fabrication of AgCu/TiO2 nanoparticle-based sensors for selective detection of xylene vapor
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022)
The design and fabrication of innovative nanostructured materials that could display improved sensitivity,
selectivity, and rapid response/recovery characteristics still present significant scientific challenges.
Herein ...
Synthesis of stabilized iron nanoparticles from acid mine drainage and Rooibos tea for application as a Fenton-like catalyst
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
Intensive mining activities generate toxic acid mine drainage (AMD) effluents containing a high concentration of
metals, including iron. The chemical synthesis of iron nanoparticles from this waste could lead to further ...
Determination of paracetamol on electrochemically reduced graphene oxide–antimony nanocomposite modified pencil graphite electrode using adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry
(MDPI, 2022)
A simple, highly sensitive, accurate, and low-cost electrochemical sensor was developed for
the determination of over-the-counter painkiller, paracetamol (PC). The enhanced sensing capabilities
of the developed sensor ...
Helichrysum genus and compound activities in the management of diabetes mellitus
(MDPI, 2022)
The global management of diabetes mellitus (DM) involves the administration of recommended
anti-diabetic drugs in addition to a non-sedentary lifestyle upon diagnosis. Despite the
success recorded from these synthetic ...
Towards the development of a novel bipolar-based battery in aqueous electrolyte: Evaluation of the electrochemical properties of NiCu based hydroxide electrodes fabricated on Ni–mesh and graphite composite current collectors
(Journal of Energy Storage, 2022)
The use of bipolar electrodes in rechargeable batteries can improve specific power, simplify cell design, and reduce manufacturing costs. However, bipolar-based batteries still suffer from many drawbacks. Therefore, ...
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 ...
An efficient inclusion complex based fluorescent sensor for mercury (ii) and its application in live cell imaging
(Springer, 2022)
The formation of an inclusion complex between hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (H-CD) and 4-acetylphenyl-4-(((6-
chlorobenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-imino)-methyl)-benzoate (L) was investigated by FT-IR, 1
H-NMR, X-ray difraction ...
Fabrication, characterization, and photovoltaic performance of titanium dioxide/metal-organic framework composite
(Elsevier, 2022)
The titanium dioxide-metal-organic framework (TiO2−MOF) composite was prepared using the sol-gel method for photovoltaic applications. Raman analyses showed the presence of MOF clusters in the TiO2 sol-gel network. Using ...
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. ...
