MXenes are a new class of two-dimensional materials with properties that make them important for applications include batteries, capacitive energy storage, and electrocatalysis. These can be exfoliated delaminated to create high surface areas interlayers accessibility. Intercalation is known possible, it critical many including electrochemical water purification, sensing. However, little about the nature intercalant bonding interactions between within MXene. We have investigated urea...
With increasing biodiesel production, availability of glycerol is expected to increase. New processes are needed for converting this surplus value-added chemicals. In work, we used niobia catalysts the liquid-phase acetalisation without using any solvent. High conversions were achieved (∼80%), though water was present in reaction system. The calcination temperature changed strength as well nature acidity samples. Samples with higher Brønsted acid exhibited catalytic performance. results show...
Quantum technology can enable secure communication for cryptography purposes using quantum key distribution. distribution protocols provide a secret between two users with security guaranteed by the laws of mechanics. To define proper implementation system particular protocol, it is crucial to critically and meticulously assess device's performance due technological limitations in components used. We perform simulations on ANSYS Interconnect platform characterise practical these devices...
