Natural Pigment from Madder Plant as an Eco-Friendly Cathode Material for Aqueous Li and Na-Ion Batteries
(IOP Publishing, 2021)
Modifying commercial Li-ion batteries to become more environmentally friendly is of a growing concern. This paper provides anexamination of a potential replacement for commercial cathode material using a naturally occurring ...
Structural, morphological and textural properties of iron manganite (FeMnO3) thick films applied for humidity sensing
(Elsevier, 2020)
Iron manganite (FeMnO3) powder with a cubic (bixbyite,−Ia3) crystal structure was obtained by a solid statereaction. Thick film paste (powder+organic vehicles) was screen printed on alumina substrate with test interdigitatedPdAg ...
What is the preferred geometry of sulfur–disulfide interactions?
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
Non-covalent interactions between disulfide fragments and sulfur atoms were studied in crystal structures of small molecules and by quantum chemical calculations. Statistical analysis of the geometrical data from the ...
Toxicity investigation of CeO2 nanoparticles coated with glucose and exopolysaccharides levan and pullulan on the bacterium Vibrio fischeri and aquatic organisms Daphnia magna and Danio rerio
(Elsevier, 2021)
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nCeO2) have widespread applications, but they can be hazardous to the environment. Some reports indicate the toxic effect of nCeO2 on tested animals, but literature data are mainly contradictory. ...
Comprehensive characterization of elastomeric polyhydroxyalkanoate and its sensor applications
(Elsevier, 2020)
Comprehensive characterization of important parameters of biopolymer polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) was performed. Biodegradable PHA polymer material was applied for fabrication of components using for cost effective xurography ...
What is the nature of bonding in [Fe(CO)3(NO)]− and [Fe(CO)4]2−?
(Springer Nature, 2020)
To shed new light on the electronic structure of [Fe(CO)3(NO)]¯ complex ion, DFT-based analysis of the nature of chemical bonding has been performed. For this purpose, the extended transition state energy decomposition ...
Experimental examination and thermodynamic description of the ternary Bi-Ge-Ga,Zn systems
(Elsevier, 2020)
Due to the wide application of systems based on germanium ternary Bi-Ga-Ge and Bi-Ge-Zn systems were experimentally tested in this study. Used experimental techniques were scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive ...
Carbohydrate – Protein aromatic ring interactions beyond CH/π interactions: A Protein Data Bank survey and quantum chemical calculations
(Elsevier, 2020)
The geometries of the contacts between monosaccharides and aromatic rings of amino acids found in X-ray crystallography structures, in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), were analyzed, while the energies of the interactions were ...
Fabrication and characterization of luminescent Pr3+ doped fluorapatite nanocrystals as bioimaging contrast agents
(Elsevier, 2020)
Fluorapatite doped with rare-earth elements has a wide-range of biomedical applications. Here, a new type of fluorapatite nanocrystals doped with praseodymium (FAP-Pr) with excitation-emission profiles in visible part of ...
Microstructure and cavitation erosion performance of nickel-Inconel 718 composite coatings produced with cold spray
(Elsevier, 2020)
The cold spray technique was employed in this study to produce pure nickel (Ni) and nickel-Inconel 718 powder deposits on duplex stainless steel substrates. High quality coatings were manufactured using nitrogen as the ...
