Novel Applications of Microbial Fuel Cells in Sensors and Biosensors
(MDPI, 2018-07-20)
A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a type of bio-electrochemical system with novel features, such as electricity generation, wastewater treatment, and biosensor applications. In recent years, progressive trends in MFC research ...
Efficient and environmentally friendly microwave-assisted synthesis of catalytically active magnetic metallic Ni nanoparticle
(ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering, 2017)
Pure magnetic metallic nickel was synthesized by a simple and fast microwave-assisted method using a monomode microwave reactor. Nickel chloride was employed as metal precursor, while an environmental-friendly mixture of ...
Advances in nanocatalysts design for biofuels production
(Wiley-VCH, 2017)
The exploitation of nanocatalysts, at the boundary between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, is tracking new efficient ways to produce renewable biofuels in environmentally friendly conditions. Their solid state ...
Microwave-assisted preparation of Ag/Ag2S carbon hybrid structures from pig bristles as efficient HER electrocatalysts
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)
Ag/Ag2S hybrid structures have recently attracted significant interest due to their high chemical and thermal stability, in addition to their unique optical and electrical properties. However, their standard synthetic ...
Continuous flow conversion of biomass-derived methyl levulinate into gamma valerolactone using functional metal organic frameworks
(2019)
Zirconium based metal organic framework, UiO-66 (Zr), was successfully synthesized via solvothermal method, followed by various characterization including XRD, thermal analysis, N2 physisorption and TEM. As-synthesized ...
