This work aims to design photoelectrochemically rechargeable Zn-air batteries with improved energy and power density, energy efficiency and cycle life. Our plan is to solve the bottle-neck problem associated with air electrocatalysts by developing novel nanocarbon-inorganic hybrid materials for oxygen reduction and/or evolution with high efficiency and durability. Also, we are pursuing active a...

In the process of crude oil desalination, the aim is to separate dispersed phase of brine from oil phase. The project aim is the use of carbon nano-adsorbent for remov-al of salt from crude oil that, unlike other methods of salt separation from crude oil currently used, is a simple, inexpensive method with good ability to remove salt from crude oil. In this study, first, four types of carbon ad...

Abstract This work combines hydrophobic and heat-absorbing materials to solve the problem of water frost resistance in industrial domestic scenarios harsh environments. Here, highly fast endothermic (HHFE) surfaces were prepared by applying candle soot (nanocarbon) as template, slides carrier nano-TiO2 a backbone connecting layer. The resulting HHFE surface exhibited coral-like porous structure...

We prepared binder-free monoliths of carbon nanohorns（CNHs）, hole-opened nanohorns （CNHoxs）, multi-walled nanotube（MWCNT）, and single-walled nanotube（SWCNT）using spark plasma sintering（SPS）method at 1800℃ 80 MPa in vacuum. The density the SPS-treated SWCNT is 1.8 g/cm3, which close to that graphite, while those CNHs, CNHoxs, MWCNT remained 1.1-1.3 g/cm3 even after SPS treatment. evaluated using...
