Spatial distribution and source apportionment of DTPA-extractable metals in soils surrounding the largest Serbian steel production plant
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
Despite presenting a practical approach for the characterization of the environmental risk of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) derived from steel production facilities, the analysis of the spatial distribution of bioavailable ...
Influence of Alkyd Composite Coatings with Polyaniline Doped with Different Organic Acids on the Corrosion of Mild Steel
(MDPI, 2023)
Composite coatings prepared by mixing 5 wt.% polyaniline with commercial alkyd-based paints were applied on carbon steel. The polyaniline emeraldine chloride salt was prepared by procedure recommended by IUPAC, including ...
Plasma Treatment as a Sustainable Method for Enhancing the Wettability of Jute Fabrics
(MDPI, 2023)
In this paper, raw jute fabric was subjected to atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge (at 150 or 300 Hz) to enhance its wettability, i.e., capillarity and wetting time. Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier ...
The Influence of Sm Content on the Surface Morphology and Corrosion Behavior of Zn-Co-Sm Composite Coatings
(MDPI, 2023)
The influence of samarium, as an additional alloying element, on the morphology and corrosion performance of the Zn-Co-Sm alloy electrodeposited coatings, was investigated by scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy ...
KIT-5-Assisted Synthesis of Mesoporous SnO2 for High-Performance Humidity Sensors with a Swift Response/Recovery Speed
(MDPI, 2023)
Developing highly efficient semiconductor metal oxide (SMOX) sensors capable of accurate and fast responses to environmental humidity is still a challenging task. In addition to a not so pronounced sensitivity to relative ...
Effect of the Deposition of Vanadium-Oxide on the Photocatalytic Activity of TiO2 Nanotubes and Its Photodiode Performance Interfaced with CH3NH3PbI3 Single Crystal
(MDPI, 2023)
In this study, we report the influence of vanadium oxide (VO), as a photosensitive component, on the photoactivity of TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs). A series of TNTs of varying tube diameter were synthesized by the anodization of ...
Structure-Dependent Electrochemical Behavior of 2-Pyridone Derivatives: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study
(MDPI, 2023)
In this work, the electrooxidation ability of nine pyridones was evaluated using cyclic(CV) and square-wave voltammetry (SWV) in Britton–Robinson (BR) aqueous buffer solutions on aglassy carbon electrode (GC). The dependence ...
Effects of Multiple Defects on Welded Joint Behaviour under the Uniaxial Tensile Loading: Fem and Experimental Approach
(MDPI, 2023)
The research represents the ongoing investigation of the welded joints behavior made of low-carbon low-alloyed steel in the presence of different multiple defects. Following the initial experimental and numerical analyses ...
Transformation of Iron (III) Nitrate from an Aerosol by Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis and Hydrogen Reduction
(MDPI, 2023)
Due to their unique properties, iron nanoparticles find diverse applications across various
fields, including catalysis, electronics, wastewater treatment, and energy storage. Nano-iron particles
are mostly sub-micrometer ...
Regulatory Paradigm and Challenge for Blockchain Integration of Decentralized Systems: Example—Renewable Energy Grids
(MDPI, 2023)
Nowadays, fossil fuels are used in a clearly unsustainable way that can bring potentially catastrophic consequences. Electricity is currently delivered to end users by generation and energy transmission companies. Previous ...
