Alkaline pretreatment of walnut shells increases pore surface hydrophilicity of derived biochars
(Elsevier, 2021-09-01)The surface chemistry and morphology of biochars produced by pyrolysis of walnut shells affects their utility for adsorption applications. Yet, little is known about surface interactions in the pores of these materials, ... -
All-Oxide p-n Junction Thermoelectric Generator Based on SnOx and ZnO Thin Films.
(2021-07-13)Achieving thermoelectric devices with high performance based on low-cost and nontoxic materials is extremely challenging. Moreover, as we move toward an Internet-of-Things society, a miniaturized local power source such ... -
Ambient Air-Stable CH<inf>3</inf>NH<inf>3</inf>PbI<inf>3</inf>Perovskite Solar Cells Using Dibutylethanolamine as a Morphology Controller
(ACS, 2021-01-01)Hybrid inorganic-organic perovskite solar cells have gained increased attention due to their easy processing and exceptional power conversion efficiencies. However, their limited stability against moisture, light, and heat ... -
Ambipolar Transport in Solution-Synthesized Graphene Nanoribbons
(ACS, 2016-04-26)Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with robust electronic band gaps are promising candidate materials for nanometer-scale electronic circuits. Realizing their full potential, however, will depend on the ability to access GNRs ... -
Amide functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and their evaluation for Hg(II) removal from water
(World Scientific Publishing, 2011-02-01)This paper deals with the amide functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and its evaluation for mercury removal from water. The functionalized MWNTs were characterized using FTIR for structural modification. ... -
Ammonia Gas Sensor Response of a Vertical Zinc Oxide Nanorod-Gold Junction Diode at Room Temperature
(ACS, 2020-11-25)Conventional metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors have been investigated for decades to protect our life and property. However, the traditional devices can hardly fulfill the requirements of our fast developing ... -
Analysis and extension of the quadratic constitutive relation for RANS methods
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2021-10)The quadratic constitutive relation was proposed as an extension of minimal complexity to linear eddy-viscosity models in order to improve mean flow predictions by better estimating turbulent stress distributions. However, ... -
Analysis of tenodesis techniques for treatment of scapholunate instability using the finite element method.
(2017-12)Chronic scapholunate ligament (SL) injury is a common disorder affecting the wrist. Despite advances in surgical techniques used to treat this injury, SL gap re-emergence may occur postoperatively. This paper presents an ... -
Analysis of the robustness of a steel frame structure with composite floors subject to multiple fire scenarios
(2021-01-01)This study presents robustness analyses of a three-dimensional multi-storey composite steel structure under the action of multiple fire scenarios. The main objective of the work is to improve current understanding of the ... -
Analysis of the unsteady thermal response of a Li-ion battery pack to dynamic loads
(Elsevier, 2021-05-01)It is becoming increasingly apparent that wide application of electric vehicles (EVs) are subject to significant improvements in battery technology. Temperature sensitivity is a major issue adversely affecting battery ...
