Nanocellulose was successfully prepared from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) via nickel salt-catalyzed hydrolysis under mild reaction conditions of 45 °C for 15 min. The mild acid nickel salt-catalyzed hydrolysis was able to selectively depolymerize the amorphous regions of cellulose and retain its crystalline region, thus improving the crystallinity of the treated product at the nanoscale up ...

Inorganic membrane science and technology is an attractive field of membrane separation technology, which has been dominated by polymer membranes. Recently, the inorganic membrane has been undergoing rapid development and innovation. Inorganic membranes have the advantage of resisting harsh chemical cleaning, high temperature and wear resistance, high chemical stability, long lifetime, and auto...

an iodide ion-selective pvc membrane sensor based on copper (π)-bis-nphenilsalicyldenaminatocomplex as a novel sensing material is successfully developed. theelectrode showed a good selectivity for iodide ion with respect to common inorganic anions. thesensor exhibited a good linear response with slope of _58.6 ± 0.4 mv per decade over theconcentration range of 5.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1 mol l-1,...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The salt tolerance of halophilic bacteria make them promising candidates for technical applications, like isolation of salt tolerant enzymes or remediation of contaminated saline soils and waters. Furthermore, some halophilic bacteria synthesize inorganic solids resulting in organic-inorganic hybrids. This process is known as biomineralization, which is induced and/or c...

Background: The salt tolerance of halophilic bacteria make them promising candidates for technical applications, like isolation of salt tolerant enzymes or remediation of contaminated saline soils and waters. Furthermore, some halophilic bacteria synthesize inorganic solids resulting in organic–inorganic hybrids. This process is known as biomineralization, which is induced and/or controlled by ...

The title compound, (C(12)H(16)N(2))(2)[PbBr(6)], is an organic-inorganic salt, with two doubly protonated N-(1-naphth-yl)ethyl-enediammonium cations and one octa-hedral hexa-bromidoplumbate(II) anion. The Pb(II) atom is located on a centre of inversion. The crystal structure consists of alternating inorganic and organic layers parallel to the bc plane. Face-to-face aromatic stacking inter-acti...

A scalable growth of atomically-thin 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with defect-free large-area surfaces is crucial for developing high-performing optoelectronic devices. Herein, a method to grow large-area, high-quality MoSe2 monolayers, MoSe2–WSe2, and WSe2–MoSe2 lateral heterostructures using molten salt-based chemical vapor deposition (CVD) systematically reported. First, effect...

Bubble columns are effective means of filtration in filtered containment venting systems. Here, the surface tension has a significant influence on bubble size distribution and bubble deformation, which have a strong impact on the behavior of the bubble column. The influence of aqueous inorganic compounds on the surface tension depends on the electrolytic activity, Debye length, entropy of ion h...
