Human exposure to volatile organic compounds and NO2 can lead health problems, therefore strategies mitigate against the risks are required. Abatement sensing approaches which could both neutralise monitor these species thus providing a safer environment warning occupants of harmful levels. This paper presents pure TiO2 TiO2/graphene hybrids synthesized through sol-gel route. Electron optical, helium ion microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopic methods have been applied elucidate physical...

Ocean surface pH levels are predicted to fall by 0.3-0.4 units the end of century and likely coincide with an increase in sea temperature 2-4 °C. The combined effect ocean acidification warming on functional properties bivalve shells is largely unknown growing concern as shell provides protection from mechanical environmental challenges. We examined effects near-future (ambient -0.4 units) +4 °C) commercially important bivalve, Mytilus edulis when fed for a limited period (4-6 h day(-1))....

In addition to chloride induced corrosion, the other commonly occurring type of rebar corrosion in reinforced concrete structures is that by ingress atmospheric carbon dioxide into concrete, referred as ‘carbonation corrosion’. This paper presents a new approach for detecting onset and quantifying level carbonation corrosion. The based on changes mechanical impedance parameters acquired using electro-mechanical coupling piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramic patch bonded surface...

The feasibility of using palm oil fuel ash (POFA) as a precursor for alkali activation reactions, in combination with glass fibers discrete reinforcement, has been investigated. experimental work was focused on the shear strength (using unconfined compression tests) and tensile indirect tests flexural tests). According to results, it found that peak stress increased post-peak behavior modified from brittle more ductile response depending amount fiber reinforcement alkali-activated mixtures....

Carbon fibre reinforced cement-based sensors offer a potential low-cost and high-performance alternative to externally applied for health monitoring of concrete structures. This paper focuses on the moisture dependence bulk conductivity carbon with contents 0.1–1.5 vol%. Under two-point AC impedance spectroscopy at frequencies 1 Hz–10 MHz, electrode polarization (EP) process, an electrical double layer process (EDLP), Maxwell-Wagner type interfacial (MWP) were identified. While reducing...

A stepwise approach has been applied for the cosensitization of a thiocyanate free Ru sensitizer (SPS-01) with metal dye containing thienylfluorene conjugation (JD1) sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The cosensitized SPS-01 + JD1 based DSSC showed significant enhancement in both open circuit voltage (Voc) and short current (Jsc) relative to individual single DSSCs. on system yielded Jsc 15.38 mA cm−2, Voc 0.72 V, fill factor (FF) 0.76 power conversion efficiency (PCE) 8.30%. This performance...
