Highly graphitized carbon nanosheets with embedded Ni nanocrystals as anode for Li-ion batteries
(2020)
A C/Ni composite was prepared via thermal decomposition of a nickel oleate complex at 700 °C, yielding disperse Ni nanocrystals with an average size of 20 nm, encapsulated by carbon nanosheets as deduced from transmission ...
Effects of Fe3+ substitution on Zn-Al layered double hydroxides for enhanced NO photochemical abatement
(Elsevier, 2020)
In this work the ability of ZnAlFe-CO3 layered double hydroxides (LDHs) as highly efficient UV-Vis light photocatalysts for the photochemical oxidation of NO gas was studied. LDHs with 3.5 to 4.1 M2+/M3+ and 0.33 to 1.55 ...
Use of Nanomaterials in the Stabilization of Expansive Soils into a Road Real-Scale Application
(MDPI, 2020)
Stabilization is a traditional strategy used to improve soils with the main objective of ensuring that this base is compliant with the technical specifications required for the subsequent development of different ...
Bio-Degradable Polyurethane Foams Produced by Liquefied Polyol from Wheat Straw Biomass
(MDPI, 2020)
In the present work, an abundant and unused residue (wheat straw) has been employed to synthesize a polyol as a substituent of castor oil in polyurethane foams. The liquefied product showed excellent properties for the ...
Horticultural Plant Residues as New Source for Lignocellulose Nanofibers Isolation: Application on the Recycling Paperboard Process
(MDPI, 2020)
Horticultural plant residues (tomato, pepper, and eggplant) were identified as new sources for lignocellulose nanofibers (LCNF). Cellulosic pulp was obtained from the different plant residues using an environmentally ...
Valorization of Hemp Core Residues: Impact of NaOH Treatment on the Flexural Strength of PP Composites and Intrinsic Flexural Strength of Hemp Core Fibers
(MDPI, 2020)
Hemp core is a lignocellulosic residue in the production chain of hemp strands. Huge amounts of hemp core are gathered annually in Europe (43,000 tons) with no major application end. Such lignocellulosic wastes have potential ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Aero-Eutectic Graphite Obtained by Solidification and Its Application in Energy Storage: Cathodes for Lithium Oxygen Batteries
(MDPI, 2020)
Aero-eutectic graphite can be defined as a new light material with hierarchically structured porosity. It is obtained from the solidification of gray cast irons, followed by the dissolution of the ferrous matrix by an ...
Modelling Acetification with Artificial Neural Networks and Comparison with Alternative Procedures
(MDPI, 2020)
Modelling techniques allow certain processes to be characterized and optimized without the need for experimentation. One of the crucial steps in vinegar production is the biotransformation of ethanol into acetic acid by ...
Modelling of the Acetification Stage in the Production of Wine Vinegar by Use of Two Serial Bioreactors
(MDPI, 2020)
In the scope of a broader study about modelling wine acetification, the use of polynomial black-box models seems to be the best choice. Additionally, the use of two serially arranged bioreactors was expected to result in ...
Optimization of the Acetification Stage in the Production of Wine Vinegar by Use of Two Serial Bioreactors
(MDPI, 2021)
In the scope of a broader study about wine acetification, previous works concluded that using a single bioreactor hindered simultaneously reaching high productivities with high substrate consumption and the use of two ...
