Graphene oxides (GO) with different degrees of oxidation have been prepared by an in-house designed horizontal high energy planetary ball milling process.
We employed simple shear-force-dominated planetary ball milling to prepare graphene on a large scale (200 g per cycle) with less structural defects.
The lowering of the work function (Φ) can lead to a better field emission (FE) behavior at lower threshold fields. We report on enhanced FE from randomly oriented and faceted Au-capped ZnO hetero-nanostructures (HNs) having more oxygen defects. Large-area arrays non-aligned, HNs, such as nanowires (NWs) triangular nanoflakes (TNFs) are grown using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Enhanced properties TNF sample resulted in turn-on low 0.52 V μm(-1) current density 0.1 mA cm(-2)...
Because of their desirable structural properties, WC, WC+B4C, and WC + TiC are possible materials for use in plasma-facing components fusion reactors like tokamaks. In this work, seven different compositions WC-W2C composites have been prepared (30 to 50 at. % C) by an arc plasma melting technique followed furnace cooling. Efforts made produce a composite that is very hard tough has high neutron absorbing capacity adding B4C (5 15 wt% each) the starting powder. Microstructures were studied...
Chronic wounds pose a significant challenge in clinical settings due to their high risk of infections (by mixed population bacterial strains) and persistent inflammation. In this scenario, personalized treatment options are crucial but limited by the complex fabrication techniques existing products. To end, calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CSH)-based cement offers rapid lacks other essential properties for promoting healing. overcome this, herein tannic acid (TA) was added create multifunctional...
This study reports a new, versatile and eco-friendly approach to produce high quality purity reduced graphene oxide (graphene) from natural graphite by dry planetary ball milling technique under hydrogen atmosphere. The morphology, structure composition of (HPG), (GO) (RGO)/graphene have been characterized using various analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with selected area (SAED) photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XRD XPS studies...
Ruthenium extraction from a solution bearing 0.1 g/l Ru and 0.0358 M HCl was independently carried out with Alamine 336 Aliquat in kerosene tri-n-butyl phosphate as the phase modifier. The effect of various parameters such concentrations extractant, hydrochloric acid, sodium chloride TBP on ruthenium(III) investigated. increased increasing extractant concentration up to 25% beyond which it decreased. With 336, percentage 6 then decreased, but that 4 M, decreased that. 4.5 NaCl using 20%...
