We demonstrate a simple and efficient biosynthesis method to prepare easily harvested biocompatible cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum dots (QDs) with tunable fluorescence emission using yeast cells. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirm that the CdTe QDs are formed via an extracellular growth subsequent endocytosis pathway have size-tunable optical properties from 490 560 nm cubic zinc blende...
In this applications article (116 references), the use and viability of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) for natural gas storage is critically examined through an overview current state field. These smart materials can be tuned to deliver best performance according demand, as a function temperature, desired pressure mandated fill/release rates. Whilst chemistry behind optimising in MOFs highlighted, it contextualised specific application vehicular transport, means testing parameters are...
Ordered mesostructured tungsten carbide and graphitic carbon composites (WC/C) with nanocrystalline walls are fabricated for the first time by a temperature-programmed carburization approach phosphotungstic acid (PTA) as precursor mesoporous silica materials hard templates. The mesostructure, crystal phase, amount of deposited can be conveniently tuned controlling template (SBA-15 or KIT-6), carburizing temperature (700-1000 degrees C), PTA-loading amount, atmosphere (CH(4) CH(4)/H(2)...
To combat global temperature rise, we need affordable, clean, and renewable energy that does not add carbon to the atmosphere. Hydrogen is a promising option because it can be used as carbon-free source. However, storing transporting pure hydrogen in liquid or gaseous forms challenging. overcome limitations associated with conventional compressed liquefied physio-chemical adsorbents for bulk storage transport, attached other molecules known carriers. Circular carriers, which involve...
Separation of minor hydrocarbon components in natural gas is necessary prior to liquefaction avoid operational (plugging equipment) and product specification issues.
The active site of MoS2 is usually located at the edge crystalline MoS2, which has a lower proportion than that from basal plane, limiting hydrogenation activity. Therefore, activating plane expected to greatly enhance Herein, we prepared series catalysts by acidolysis ammonium tetrathiomolybdate and subsequently pyrolyzing high temperature with different atmospheres. Through analysis, found were curved, was commercial MoS2. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Raman...
This study aims to investigate the structural, spectroscopic, and electronic properties of synthetic missile fuel exo- endo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (THDCPD, JP-10) using density functional theory (DFT). It is understand dominance liquid exo-isomer (96%) jet from subtle differences between isomers. The present DFT calculations reveal that 15.51 kJ/mol more stable than endo-isomer, attributed flipping triangular ΔC8-C10-C9 ring in its norbornane skeleton. Calculated nuclear magnetic...
Catalytic CO2 methanation in the presence of plasma is significant interest due to lower temperature requirements and capacity for electrification. The potential harnessing bimetallic catalyst synergies within...
The purpose of this study is to investigate propane adsorption capacity in sodium and calcium form faujasite (FAU)-type zeolites X Y by performing Monte Carlo simulations the grand-canonical ensemble (GCMC). Our results have shown that nonframework cation number density interaction potentials between molecules cations are very important factors for influencing FAU zeolites. For a given ratio Si/Al, both increases with increasing density, suggesting an increase produces extra sites leads...
