Taking advantage of the high-energy-density microwave plasma environment as a unique 3D space for the self-assembly of free-standing nanostructures, a novel multifunctional platform for the continuous production of graphene and derivatives at the gram scale was developed. The platform is supported by a prototype plasma machine capable of performing...

In the clinical setting, routine identification of the main types of tissue amyloid deposits, light-chain amyloid (AL) and serum amyloid A (AA), is based on histochemical staining; rarer types of amyloid require mass spectrometry analysis. Raman spectroscopic imaging is an analytical tool, which can be used to chemically map, and thus characterize,...

In the present paper, two-dimensional (2D) Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanosheets were prepared through a simple, single-step chemical solution method followed by annealing treatment without any surfactant, template or catalyst. The prepared ZnO nanosheets were characterized for their structural and optical properties by different techniques such as XRD, SEM ...
Two-dimensional (2D) liquid–metal (LM) heterointerfaces with their tunable physicochemical characteristics are emerging platforms for the development of multifunctional hybrid nanostructures with numerous functional applications. From this perspective, the functionalization of LM galinstan nanoparticles (NPs) with crystalline nanodomains is a promi...

Biopolymers obtained from natural macromolecules are noteworthy among materials presenting high biocompatibility and adequate biodegradability, as is the case of chitosan (CS), making this biopolymeric compound a suitable drug delivery system. Herein, chemically-modified CS were synthetized using 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (1,4-NQ) and the sod...
Dehumidification is vital for human health and environmental sustainability. However, traditional moisture adsorbents have the problems like low adsorption capacity, high regeneration energy consumption and negative impacts to environment. As a result, it is demanding to develop environmentally friendly adsorbents with desirable adsorption capacity...

This paper introduces the two main LIDAR techniques (Light Detection and Ranging) for gas remote sensing: the Raman method and the DIAL method (Differential Absorption Lidar). The issues associated with gas remote sensing are first exposed, as well as the lidar fundamentals. Raman and DIAL techniques are then detailed. Physical basis for Raman spec...
A high P-availability glass phosphate fertilizer was manufactured from municipal sewage sludge ash (SSA) in reference to the conventional method for fused calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer (FCMP). P-availability in SSA-made FCMP was examined by varying the amount of alkali earth metals (MO, CaO and MgO) addition in the FCMP. Various techniques...
Two Mn0.15Ce0.85O2-delta mixed oxides were synthesized by a co-precipitation method using Mn(NO3)(2) and KMnO4 as the manganese precursors, respectively. Structural analyses by X-ray powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy reveal the formation of MnOx-CeO2 solid solutions. The Mn0.15Ce0.85O2-delta catalyst prepared from the high-valent manganese ...
