Short review
Abstract:
With the rapidly increased concerns in environmental pollution, there have been urgent needs to develop fast, sensitive, low-cost and multiplexed sensing devices for the detection of environmental pollutants. Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials hold great promise due to their unique chemical and phys...
Abstract:
The globally increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in atmosphere after combustion of coal- or petroleum-based fuels give rise to tremendous interest in searching for porous materials to efficiently capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and store methane (CH4), where the latter is a kind of clean ener...

Abstract:
Water in room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) could impose significant effects on their interfacial properties at a charged surface. Although the interfaces between RTILs and mica surfaces exhibit rich microstructure, the influence of water content on such interfaces is little understood, in parti...
Abstract:
In this study, effects of different nanoparticles and porosity of absorber tube on the performance of a Concentrating Parabolic Solar Collector (CPSC) were investigated. A section of porous-filled absorber tube was modeled as a semi-circular cavity under the solar radiation which is filled by nanofl...
Abstract:
Novel cellulose based flocculants C-g-P (DMC) with various chain architectures are synthesized through a situ graft copolymerization. The cationic ammonium chloride group (DMC) is grafted onto cellulose by two separate inverse emulsion polymerization with γ-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxy silane (KH-5...
Abstract:
MXene is a new type of layered two-dimensional transition metal carbide materials differing from graphene, demonstrating intriguing chemical/physical properties. Here the chemical modification of MXene and next fabrication of core–shell MXene–COOH@(PEI/PAA)n composites have been investigated. The ob...
Abstract:
On account of the high theoretical capacity, high corrosion resistance, environmental benignity, abundant availability and low cost, the research on α-Fe2O3 has been gradually fastened on as promising anodes materials toward lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). A high-performance anode for LIBs based on α-...
Abstract:
Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a valuable approach to convert furfural residue (FR) into carbon material. The prepared biochars are usually characterized comprehensively, while the stock process water still remains to be studied in detail. Herein, a NMR study of the main components in stock pro...
Abstract:
Banana peel-derived porous carbon (BPPC) was prepared from banana peel and used as an adsorbent for methyl orange (MO) wastewater removal. BPPC-MO50 is a N,S-doped BPPC obtained via secondary carbonization. The BPPC-MO50 exhibited a high specific surface area of 1774.3m2/g. Heteroatom-doped porous c...
