A green, clean, and rapid process employing sunlight for converting a large quantity of graphene oxide (GO) into reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is presented herein. In this protocol, the sunlight is concentrated using a Fresnel lens and focused on GO,…
The rapid depletion of fossil fuels has catalysed the research on alternative renewable energy resources and energy storage devices. Electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices have gained popularity among energy storage devices due to their…
Novel edge-capped ZrO2 nanoparticles on V2O5 nanowires were successfully synthesized through a simple, eco-friendly, and inexpensive hydrothermal technique. The as-prepared nanostructures were characterized using various measurements to study their…
Petroleum, contains proportions of contaminants such as sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, and metals, such as nickel, iron, copper, sodium, and vanadium. Particularly, contaminants containing sulfur cause problems during handling, transportation, and the use…
This article provides a method to design a viscosity reducing agent, which builds a crude oil model through molecular simulation and calculates the type of monomer suitable for the viscosity reduction of the crude oil. Viscosity reducing agent was…
Zero-dimensional carbon nanomaterials show intriguing potential in the field of unconventional oil resource development for reducing injection pressure and enhancing oil recovery. However, the complicated synthesis procedure, necessity for surfactant…
Ferronickel contains 60–80 wt% Fe and 40–20 wt% Ni and is a feedstock for manufacturing stainless steel and other ferrous alloys. The primary pyrometallurgical route to produce ferronickel from laterite nickel ores is the Rotary Kiln-Electric Furnace…
This work introduces CeZr0.5GdO4 spinel particles as novel oxygen carriers for use in the reforming and decomposition of methane into H2 and CO via the chemical looping technique. These particles were prepared by a modified sol-gel combustion method…
A gram-negative bacterial strain capable of resisting hexavalent chromium was isolated and evaluated for its characteristics. The strain was designated as Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila 4-1 according to the 16S rDNA sequence and phylogenic analysis.…
