In this work, the possibilities of introducing nitric acid molecules with a solution concentration of 75–98% into graphite matrices in the form of synthetic quasi-monocrystal graphite and natural graphite of four different farcical compositions...

This study investigates the interaction between copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) clusters and graphene-based materials using molecular dynamics simulations. It focuses on how graphene oxidation and aminated polyethylene glycol (PEG-NH2) functionalization...

This article compares the properties of the diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating with those of ZrN and (Zr,Hf)N coatings deposited on the Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy substrate. To improve substrate adhesion during the deposition of the DLC coating, prelimi...

Pt on carbon black (Pt/C) has been widely used as a catalyst for both ORR and hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), but its stability is compromised due to carbon corrosion and catalyst poisoning, leading to low Pt utilization. To address this issue, th...

This study aimed to functionalize the surface of activated carbon, and thus render the surface more hydrophilic and reactive. To attain this goal, sequential surface functionalization was carried out using (i) oxidation (pre-activation) and (ii) seco...

Textile dyes are considered to be one of the major sources of water pollution due to their complex chemical structures. Photocatalytic dye degradation is an eco-friendly method that uses light-activated catalysts to break down complex dye molecules i...

Polluted streams, both in their gas and liquid phases, constitute a potential menace to the environment and to living organisms [...]

In recent years, mankind’s energy needs have been increasing; therefore, current research is focused on the collection and storage of energy [...]

The preliminary selection of adsorbents for the separation of a gas mixture based on pure gas adsorption remains a critical challenge; thus, an approximate adsorption performance indicator (AAPI) was proposed for the initial evaluation of the adsorbe...

By functionalizing reduced graphene oxide with polydopamine, the production of a two-dimensional hydrophilicplatform with hydrophobic areas, suitable for the stabilization and slow and controlled release of hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, was real...
