A copper ferrite synthesized by a sol-gel combustion method was calcined at different temperatures up to 800°C, determining changes in its structural characteristics and magnetic measurements and studying its catalytic performance in gallic acid removal by Fenton reaction. The main objective was to study the effect of the calcination temperature of...

Recently, transitional metal dichalcogenides quantum dots have attracted much interest as a potential candidate for the application of fluorescent materials. However, little work has been done on tuning their band gap by varying functional groups. Here, we report a band-gap tunability of 1eV in the MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) modified by different func...

The adsorption of cytochrome c in water onto organic and carbon xerogels with narrow pore size distributions has been studied by carrying out transient and equilibrium batch adsorption experiments. It was found that equilibrium adsorption exhibits a quasi-Langmuirian behavior (a g coefficient in the Redlich-Peterson isotherms of over 0.95) involvin...

Nitrogen-doped core/shell carbon nanospheres (NHCS are prepared and their capability as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries is investigated. The synthesis methodology is based on a fast template route. The resulting molecular nanostructures are characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, thermal analysis, and nitrog...

In this work, the viscoelasticity of fragile β-casein films has been followed using different macro- and microrheological techniques. The modulus of the complex surface viscosity |η∗| varies with time, allowing for the monitoring of the protein adsorption and annealing. β-casein adsorption creates a soft glassy gel at the interface that experiences...

We succeeded in controlling the motion of the two camphor boats by varying the boat characteristics and the surfactant concentration. The balance/unbalance between the surface tension distribution and the surface flow around the boats was found to drive two different behavior modes: stationary and oscillatory. These results allow us to gain further...

The morphologies of the ABS coatings varied with its weight concentration in dichloromethane and they changed from porous and plain surface into porous and hierarchal-structured surface. Besides, the hydrophobicity of the above coatings varied form hydrophobic to superhydrophobic. Moreover, the resulted superhydrophobic membranes show great separat...

Manganese carbonate (MnCO3) nanowires and microcubes were controlled synthesized by a simple ethylene glycol (EG) mediated solution method. The volume ratios of EG and water has a decisive impact on the morphology of MnCO3 products. With a decreased water volume, MnCO3 products were transformed from microcubes to nanowires. The obtained MnCO3 nanow...

Novel visible-light-driven WO3/Bi12O17Cl2 heterojuncted photocatalysts with different mass ratios were successfully fabricated by a facile hydrothermal process and were characterized by XRD, UV-Vis DRS, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, XPS, BET, Raman, PL, and ESR techniques. The original morphology of Bi12O17Cl2 was maintained after the addition of WO3 nanopartic...

Biodegradation by cells encapsulated in silica gel is an economical and environmentally friendly method for the removal of toxic chemicals from the environment. In this work, recombinant E. coli expressing atrazine chlorohydrolase (AtzA) were encapsulated in organically modified silica (ORMOSIL) gels composed of TEOS, silica nanoparticles (SNPs), a...
