Nonstoichiometric TiO2–graphene nanocomposite was prepared by thermal hydrolysis of suspension with graphene nanosheets and titania–peroxo complex. The characterization provided using an atomic force microscope (AFM). samples were characterized Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area Barrett–Joiner–Halenda porosity (BJH), X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), Raman (RS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM). UV/vis diffuse reflectance employed to estimate band gap...
Salt stress poses a significant challenge to global agriculture, adversely affecting crop yield and food production. The current study investigates the potential of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) in mitigating salt common beans. Salt-stressed bean plants were treated with varying concentrations NPs (25 mg/L, 50 100 200 mg/L) using three different application methods: foliar application, nano priming, soil application. Results indicated pronounced impact salinity on plants, evidenced by...
Ammonia is one of the most widely produced chemicals worldwide, which consumed in fertilizer industry and also considered an interesting alternative energy storage. However, common ammonia production energy-demanding leads to high CO2 emissions. Thus, development methods based on available raw materials (air, for example) renewable sources highly demanding. In this work, we demonstrated utilization TiB2 nanostructures sandwiched between coupled plasmonic (gold nanoparticles gold grating)...
Natural raw mineral tungstenite (WS<sub>2</sub>) was exfoliated to single-layer sheets using high intensity ultrasound.
Nowadays, the emphasis is on increasing durability of all products. For this reason, it also advisable to look into extending paper The main reason for using flax pulp that and cotton are widely used production banknotes due their higher strength. This deals with addition nanocellulose, which should further enhance mechanical properties pulp. tensile strength, breaking length, energy absorption index were evaluated as key properties. At same time, effect whether was added mass or applied...
The nanostructured manganese oxides (MnO<italic>x</italic>) exhibited high catalytic activities for hydrolysis of phosphate diester-based substrate bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphate and decomposition methanol to carbon monoxide hydrogen as a potential alternative fuel.
The study reported herein describes for the first time a method producing defect-free graphene directly from its mineral ore.
Titanate nanotubes (TiNTs) for enhancing the gas separation performance of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) are addressed in this work. The incorporation different amount TiNT into commercially available polymers such as polybenzimidazole (PBI) and poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) was successfully carried out. structure properties MMMs were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). From SEM studies, it found that...
Nanotube surface treatment is crucial in preparation of high-quality nanomaterials for advanced applications. Herein, we provide an environmentally friendly and practical route to the design high performance composites using chemistry titanate nanotubes (TiNT) enhance interfacial nanotube–epoxy bonding. Insights presented here improve understanding how different organic layers (a low-molecular-weight bisphosphonate (APMBP), branched polyethylenimine (PEI), or polydopamine (PDA)) coated on...
Introduction The present changes in climate and land use have led to an increase pest population densities. oak pinhole borer, Platypus cylindrus , is one of the ambrosia beetles, which are known infect wood tissue with fungi from their mycangia. These responsible for cellulose degradation. This species now more frequent timber damage throughout Europe. Therefore, it assumed that there a high risk P. outbreaks future possible subsequent diebacks. We focused on (1) influence stump diameter...
In this study, a novel ultrasound-assisted extraction method utilizing natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) was developed for the efficient of 20 polyphenolic compounds from various botanical sources, followed by HPLC–DAD detection. By mixing choline chloride as hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and sugars, such arabinose, fructose, galactose, trehalose raffinose, well one sugar alcohol (mannitol), in range molar ratios, 21 different DESs were prepared tested. The important parameters...
