Highly sensitive gas sensors with remarkably low detection limits are attractive for diverse practical application fields including real-time environmental monitoring, exhaled breath diagnosis, and food freshness analysis. Among various chemiresistive sensing materials, noble metal-decorated semiconducting metal oxides (SMOs) have currently aroused...

Bimetallic Fe- and Mo-embedded N-enriched porous biochar (Fe-Mo@N-BC) is developed and serves as a cost-effective and highly efficient catalyst for mineralization of non-biodegradation organic contaminants. Fe-Mo@N-BC was prepared by pyrolysis of complex Fe/Mo -containing precursors. Transmission electron microscopy and elemental mapping suggested ...

Nickel based catalysis has shown high activity, selectivity and stability more than mono-Ni surface catalysis in energy and environmental applications. First principle calculations based on Density Functional Theory and the Generalized Gradient Approximation are performed to investigate the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of M/Ni(10...

Cu nanowires (Cu NWs) and Ag nanosheets (Ag NSs) bimetallic nanocomposites were fabricated on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) slice for non-enzymatic glucose sensing via a facile two-step approach, vacuum filtration and galvanic displacement. Low-cost Cu NWs based conductive films were employed as the conductive substrates to substitute...

Fabricating nanostructured fibrous membranes as photocatalyst would facilitate the effective treatment of dyeing effluents. However, creating such photocatalytic nanofibrous membranes has proven tremendously challenging. In this work, we report a scalable strategy to prepare copper-iron bimetal modified polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous membranes...

In the context of biomass valorization by heterogeneous catalysis, computational chemistry is key to provide guidance to establish the nature of the active sites in combination with experimental characterizations. Then, the reaction mechanism can be studied to determine the rate determining transition state and intermediate and further design in si...

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) belong to a class of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), with potential toxicity to the liver, reproductive system, and development of mammals. The highly toxic and concentrated congener, 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47), was chosen to investigate debromination mechanisms by the two synthetic iron...

The manufacturing of insensitive munition 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) generates waste streams that require treatment. DNAN has been treated previously with zero-valent iron (ZVI) and Fe-based bimetals. Use of Mg-based bimetals offers certain advantages including potential higher reactivity and relative insensitivity to pH conditions. This work report...

This article reports on a newly designed thermal walker that can walk on a hot horizontal surface without any motor or battery. The walker converts heat energy from the hot surface into mechanical motion by using bimetal sheets. The prototype developed in the previous study successfully demonstrated walking, but its gait was not ideal; a leg swings...

The use of stabilizers can prevent the reactivity loss of nanoparticles due to aggregation. In this study, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was selected as the stabilizer to synthesize a highly stable CMC-stabilized Fe/Ni colloid (CMC-Fe/Ni) via pre-aggregation stabilization. The reactivity of CMC-Fe/Ni was evaluated via the reaction of chloroform (CF)...
