This study presents the electrochemical degradation of methylene blue (MB) wastewater in a synthetic solution using three-dimensional particle electrodes. The novel particle electrodes were fabricated in this work using the lithium modified rectorite (Li-REC). The adsorption property of the fabricated particle electrodes was studied in a series of experiments. The optimum electrochemical operat...

Since their discovery, quasicrystals have attracted continuous research interest due to their unique structural and physical properties. Recently, it was demonstrated that dodecagonal quasicrystals could be used as bandgap materials in next-generation photonic devices. However, a full understanding of the formation mechanism of quasicrystals is necessary to control their physical properties. He...

to explore the possibility of using graphene based biosensor, adsorption of hydrogen peroxide on graphene has been investigated using density functional theory. the electronic properties of defect free and defective graphene in the presence of different number of hydrogen peroxide have been studied. the graphene with the most stable configuration defect named as sw defect is considered. the hig...

Water Adsorption on Aggregates of Spherical Aerosol Nano Particles. (August 2005) Chu Nie, B.S., Nanjing University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. William H. Marlow A three dimensional integral equation is developed in order to compute water adsorption onto aggregates of spherical aerosol nano particles. The integral equation is derived from molecular density functional theory, with a weighte...

Structural deformation and collapse in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can lead to loss of long-range order, making it a challenge to model these amorphous materials using conventional computational methods. In this work, we show that a structure-property map consisting of simulated data for crystalline MOFs can be used to indirectly obtain adsorption properties of structurally deformed MOFs. T...

equilibrium adsorption property of multi-walled carbon nanotubes with oh group was studied using experimental design for the adsorption of co2 , ch4 and h2 . the effect of temperature, pressure, their binary interactions and quadratic terms were studied for adsorption capacity of nanotubes and the results were analyzed by the face centered central composite design method and analysis of varianc...

In this paper, we have studied the hydrogen adsorption onto CNCs and BNNCs nano-cones using GCMC simulations. The effects of length and cone apex angle on adsorption property have been investigated. Our results show that with increasing the pressure and decreasing the cone length and cone apex angle except for CNC-300˚, the hydrogen adsorption onto the BNNCs and CNCs was increased. It was also ...

In this work, zinc ferrite magnetic and zinc ferrite-graphene oxide nanocomposite were synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method and dye removal capability as an adsorbent were studied. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR, X-ray diffraction XRD and scanning electron microscopy SEM were used to characterize the synthesized nanocomposite. The UV-Vis results showed that the additi...
