Single-wall and multiwall carbon nanotubes are employed as carbon supports in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC). The morphology and electrochemical activity of single-wall and multiwall carbon nanotubes obtained from different sources have been examined to probe the influence of carbon support on the overall performance of DMFC. The improved activity of the Pt-Ru catalyst dispersed on carbon na...

to improve the photo-catalytic degradation of salicylic acid, we reported the fabrication of ordered tio2 nanotube arrays by a simple and effective two-step anodization method and then these tio2 nanotubes treated in a methanol solution under uv light irradiation. the tio2 nanotubes prepared in the two-step anodization process showed better photo-catalytic activity than tio2 nanotubes prepared ...

BACKGROUND Hepatitis B is a serious global public health concern. Though a safe and efficacious recombinant vaccine is available, its use in several resource-poor countries is limited by cost. We have investigated the production of Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) using the yeast Pichia pastoris GS115 by inserting the HBsAg gene into the alcohol oxidase 1 locus. RESULTS Large-scale p...

Context. xxx Aims. The gas-phase abundance of methanol in dark quiescent cores in the interstellar medium cannot be explained by gas-phase chemistry. In fact, the only possible synthesis of this species appears to be production on the surfaces of dust grains followed by desorption into the gas. Yet, evaporation is inefficient for heavy molecules such as methanol at the typical temperature of 10...

A low flow, parallel path Mira Mist CE nebulizer designed for capillary electrophoresis (CE) was evaluated as a function of make-up solution flow rate, composition, and concentration, as well as the nebulizer gas flow rate. This research was conducted in support of a project related to the separation and quantification of cobalamin (vitamin B-12) species using microseparation techniques combine...

Ru-pincer complexes were immobilized as supported liquid phase (SLP) materials to allow the methanol reforming reaction continuous gas process. Under conditions, forms from hydroxide coating. Several hydroxides screened and CsOH showed highest activity compared standard KOH The well-known complex carbonylchlorohydrido [bis(2-di-i-propylphosphinoethyl)amine]ruthenium(II) is limited in catalyzing...
