Molecular thin films utilizing phosphonates are widely used in a variety of chemical applications, such as surfactants, stabilization of nanoparticle suspensions, layer by layer film formation, and more. Furthermore, surface chemistry is a valuable tool in the context of semiconducting materials. To date, the studies of monolayer formation of phosphonates have mainly focused on phosphonic acids...

Nanofluids have gained attention for their potential to solve overheating problems in various industries. They are a mixture of base fluid and nanoparticles dispersed on the nanoscale. The can be metallic, ceramic, or carbon based, depending desired properties. While nanofluids offer advantages, challenges such as nanoparticle agglomeration, stability, cost effectiveness remain. Nonetheless, on...

In this study, Co (III) salen complex was synthesized and immobilized onto the surface of Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanoparticle. The heterogeneous nanocatalyst was characterized by different techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption−desorption isotherm (BET), ...

Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) batteries are considered as one of the promising candidates for next-generation Li batteries in near future. Although, these batteries are suffering from certain drawbacks such as rapid capacity fading during the charge and discharge process due to the dissolution of polysulfides. In this paper, Sulfur/metal oxide (TiO2 and SiO2) yolk–shell structures have been successfull...

Dynamic viscosity of SiO2/22nm nanofluids prepared in a glycerine-water (30:70 by volume) mixture base liquid, referred to as GW70, is measured experimentally. Nanofluids with concentrations 0.2, 0.6, and 1.0 percent are produced, measurements carried out at temperatures ranging from 20 80 oC using LVDV-2T model Brookfield Viscometer. The particle size elemental composition nanoparticles determ...
