Copper oxide-based gas-diffusion electrodes (CuxO/GDEs) for CO2 electrocatalytic reduction are investigated in presence and absence of liquid electrolyte (liquid- gas-phase operations) terms (i) catalytic reactivity compact-design flow cells (with the located on two sides a Nafion membrane) (ii) situ electrochemical characterization by impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) chron...

the polysulfone-based membrane has been used in hemodialysis (hd) and it is continuously developed to maintain its sustainability on the subject of biocompatibility. during the polysulfone-based membrane development, several parameters should be considered to improve the membrane performances, such as excellent biocompatibility, appropriate ultrafiltration rate, and effective clearance of the t...

Gold nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction of HAuCl4 inside the pores of a polycarbonate-based membrane followed by dissolving the membrane in dichloromethane and further sonication. Sonication time as the main affecting factor on the nanoparticle size was investigated. The characterization by transmission electron microscopy showed the formation of gold nanoparticles with diamet...

the electrocatalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction (orr) on carbon supportedpt-v (1:1) catalyst in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (pefc) was investigated. atan oxygen pressure of one atm an enhanced electrocatalytic property of pt-v/ccompared with pt/c is revealed. these results indicate the occurrence of adifferent electrocatalytic mechanism for the orr on pt/c and pt-v/c. anincrease of mas...

In this study, polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) hollow fiber membrane was fabricated via a wet spinning method with the addition of ethylene glycol (EG) in the range of 0-10 wt% as the additive. The EG was added to improve the membrane pore formation and interconnectivity for better membrane contactor performance in extracting and removing the free fatty acid (FFA) from crude palm oil (CPO). Four diffe...

Optically active bionanocomposite membranes composed of polyester(PE) and cellulose /silica bionanocomposite (BNCs) are a novel method to enhance gas separation performance. Commercially available silica nanoparticles were modified with biodegradable nanocellulose through ultrasonic irradiation technique. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses showed that the cellulose/silica composite...
