Activation of Osmium by the Surface Effects of Hydrogenated TiO2 Nanotube Arrays for Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Performance
(American Chemical Society, 2023)
Efficient cathodes for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic water electrolysis rely on the use of expensive platinum group metals (PGMs). However, to achieve economically viable operation, both the content of ...
Lignin based microspheres for effective dyes removal: Design, synthesis and adsorption mechanism supported with theoretical study
(Academic Press, 2023)
Multifunctional lignin bio-based adsorbent, b-LMS, was obtained via inverse copolymerization in the suspension of acryloyl modified kraft lignin (KfL-AA) and bio-based trimethylolpropane triacrylate (bio-TMPTA). Morphological ...
Hydrogen evolution at Ni foam electrodes and Ni-Sn coated Ni foam electrodes
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was investigated in 1.0 M KOH at 25 °C at Ni foams with different pore sizes (450–1200 µm), and at the Ni-Sn/Ni foam electrodes, where Ni-Sn alloys were electrodeposited from the ...
Selective laser sintered Pipe Ring Notched Tension specimens for examination of fracture properties of pipeline materials
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
In order to develop a non-standard method for determining the resistance to fracture and damage of pipeline materials, a new geometry of ring-shaped specimens with sharp notches or cracks has been defined. The need to ...
Effects of liquid surface tension on gas capillaries and capillary forces at superamphiphobic surfaces
(NLM (Medline), 2023)
The formation of a bridging gas capillary between superhydrophobic surfaces in water gives rise to strongly attractive interactions ranging up to several micrometers on separation. However, most liquids used in materials ...
Recovering the Soybean Hulls after Peroxidase Extraction and Their Application as Adsorbent for Metal Ions and Dyes
(Hindawi Limited, 2023)
This study is aimed at extending the soybean hulls' lifetime by their utilization as an adsorbent for metal ions (Cd2+ and Cu2+) and dyes (Reactive Yellow 39 (RY 39) and Acid Blue 225 (AB 225)). ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, ...
Advancing PHBV Biomedical Potential with the Incorporation of Bacterial Biopigment Prodigiosin
(Switzerland : Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
The quest for sustainable biomaterials with excellent biocompatibility and tailorableproperties has put polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) into the research spotlight. However, high productioncosts and the lack of bioactivity ...
In Search for Reasons behind Helicobacter pylori Eradication Failure–Assessment of the Antibiotics Resistance Rate and Co-Existence of Helicobacter pylori with Candida Species
(Journal of Fungi, 2023)
Helicobacter pylori eradication is characterized by decreasing successful eradication rates. Although treatment failure is primarily associated with resistance to antibiotics, other unknown factors may influence the ...
Phenotypic Discovery of Thiocarbohydrazone with Anticancer Properties and Catalytic Inhibition of Human DNA Topoisomerase IIα
(MDPI, 2023)
Phenotypic screening of α-substituted thiocarbohydrazones revealed promising activity of 1,5-bis(salicylidene)thiocarbohydrazide against leukemia and breast cancer cells. Supplementary cell-based studies indicated an ...
Two-way reaction of versatile peroxidase with artificial lignin enhances low-molecular weight fractions
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023)
In recent years, versatile peroxidase (VP) has emerged as a promising enzyme for biotechnological applications, as it can oxidize lignin without the external mediators. To gain insights into the breakdown process of ...
