The synthesis of noble metal nanoparticles (i.e., silver and gold) for electrochemical applications has been widely studied using mainly wet synthesis chemical methods or electrochemical deposition methods. In this work, we propose a single-step flash phot ...
Aminated derivatives of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural are critical intermediates for the pharmaceutical industry. The state-of-the-art catalysts currently used for these syntheses are mostly homogeneous in nature, motivating the design of recy ...
Nanocomposites consisting of a polymer matrix and metallic nanoparticles can merge the functional, structural, and mechanical properties of the two components and are useful for applications that range from catalysis to soft electronics. Gaining spatial co ...
Nanomaterials and nanoparticles are nowadays used in a wide range of applications; from sunscreens, paint and food industry to catalytic processes, lighting, TV's and displays, their presence is percolating in our daily life. New applications rise every da ...
Binary dielectric metasurfaces are arrays of sub-wavelength structures that act as a thin layer of artificial material. They are generally lossless and relatively simple to fabricate since only a single structuring step is required. By carefully designing ...
Supercritical (SC) fluid technologies are well-established methods in modern green chemical synthesis. Using SC fluids as solvents instead of traditional liquids gives benefits of higher diffusivity and lower viscosity, which allows mass transfer intensifi ...
During the last decades, intensive efforts have been applied to tackle the enormous emissions of CO2 into atmosphere. These efforts include not only developing efficient carbon capture techniques, but also the introduction of new ways to transform the capt ...
Silver nanoparticles have numerous potential applications in engineering, industry, biology and medicine. Because of their unique chemical properties, they have become the focus of many research teams all over the world. Silver nanoparticles may exhibit si ...
In an open, bounded subset Omega of R-N such that 0 is an element of Omega we consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem -Sigma(N)(i,j,=1) partial derivative(i){A(ij)(x)partial derivative(j)u} + V(x)u + n(x,del u)+ g(x, u) = lambda u in Omega integral(Omega ...
The misfolding and self-assembly of proteins into fibrils is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative and systemic diseases. These disease-associated proteins have the propensity to form fibrils with a cross-β sheet structure, called amyloids. Amyloids can ...
Metal oxide deposition is an emerging synthetic technique for designing heterogeneous catalysts. Depositing a nanoscale overcoat of metal oxide on heterogeneous catalysts can modify their structural and chemical characteristics. Many deposition approaches, ...
