Towards the goal of development of a generic nanomaterial delivery system and delivery of the 'as prepared' nanoparticles without 'further surface modification' in a generic way, we have fabricated a hybrid polymer capsule as a delivery vehicle in which nanoparticles are loaded within their cavity. To this end, a generic approach to prepare nanomaterials-loaded polyelectrolyte multilayered (PEM...

Electrochemical and in situ spectroelectrochemical behaviours of phenosafranine (PS + ) were studied at the gold nanoparticles (AuNps) immobilized Nafion (Nf) film coated glassy carbon (GC) and indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. Cyclic voltammetric studies showed that the PS + molecules strongly interact with the AuNps immobilized in the Nf matrix through the electrostatic interaction. The pres...

The influence of the reaction pathway sacrificial molecule oxidation to generate hydrogen is here investigated for lean and rich methanol mixtures. Pt-TiO2 powders promoted or not with tin sulfide were used as catalysts. With help in situ infrared experiments under conditions, evolution was shown take place by hole-related steps, alkoxy carbon-centered species key radical species. study analyze...

A novel, magnetically separable composite photocatalyst, titania coated with magnetic activated carbon, is prepared by depositing TiO2 onto the surface of magnetic activated carbon which was prepared by directly adsorbing of magnetic Fe2O3 nanoparticles onto activated carbon. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and vibration sample magnetometer. Spec...

Tin-based chalcogenide semiconductors, though attractive materials for photovoltaics, have to date exhibited poor performance and stability for photoelectrochemical applications. Here, a novel strategy is reported to improve performance and stability of tin monosulfide (SnS) nanoplatelet thin films for H2 production in acidic media without any use of sacrificial reagent. P-type SnS nanoplatelet...

Abstract In the present study, crystalline cellulose biomass material was converted into carbon nanoparticles via carbonization to activated with micropores of various sizes. This subsequently subjected aqueous counter collision (ACC) produce hydrophobic porous functional particles. Initially, raw carbonized materials pore distributions prior ACC. Pore distribution depended on activation time, ...

The integration of diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities into one nanoplatform shows great promise in cancer therapy. In this research, manganese (II) chelate functionalized copper sulfide nanoparticles were successfully prepared using a facile hydrothermal method. The obtained ultrasmall nanoparticles exhibit excellent photothermal effect and photoaoustic activity. Besides, the high loadi...

Since a high toxicity of cyanide which use as a reagent in the gold processing plant, thiosulfate has been recognized as a environmental friendly reagent for leaching of gold from ore. After gold leaching process it's important for recovery of gold from solution using adsorption or extraction methods, One of these methods is activated carbon.The loading of gold from industrial thiosulfate solut...

Introduction The development of alternative and renewable energies is one of the crucial opportunities exhibited by governments to remediate the diminishing resources of the fossil feedstock. Biogases collected from landfill, digester and wastewater plants constitute a large and disposable supply to produce a rich methane stream, though these resources remain mostly unused. The biogas should be...

Highly stable sulfur/microporous carbon (S/MC) composites are prepared by vacuum infusion of sulfur vapor into microporous carbon at 600 °C, and lithium sulfide/microporous carbon (Li2S/MC) cathodes are fabricated via a novel and facile in situ lithiation strategy, i.e., spraying commercial stabilized lithium metal powder (SLMP) onto a prepared S/MC film cathode prior to the routine compressing...
