A generic concept to overcome bandgap limitations for designing highly efficient multi-junction photovoltaic cells
(Nature Publishing Group, London, 2015)
The multi-junction concept is the most relevant approach to overcome the Shockley-Queisser limit for single-junction photovoltaic cells. The record efficiencies of several types of solar technologies are held by series-connected ...
In vitro evaluation of enzymatically derived blackcurrant extract as prebiotic cosmetic ingredient: extraction conditions optimization and effect on cutaneous microbiota representatives
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023)
Background Blackcurrant is a rich source of polyphenols with proven physiological activity, that have lately been classified as emerging prebiotics, making its extracts suitable for application in functional food and ...
RuxTi1-xO2 as the support for Pt nanoparticles: Electrocatalysis of methanol oxidation
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
Two binary Ru-Ti oxides, Rum Ti0.9O2 and Ru0.7Ti0.3O2, were synthesized by the sol-gel method and used as an electrocatalyst support. The system was characterized by XRD, EDS, TEM and cyclic voltammetry. The Rum Ti0.9O2 ...
Nitrogen plasma surface treatment for improving polar ink adhesion on micro/nanofibrillated cellulose films
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2019)
We find that nitrogen plasma treatment of micro/nanofibrillated cellulose films increases wettability of the surface by both liquid polar water and nonpolar hexadecane. The increased wetting effect is more pronounced in ...
Synthesis of medium-chain length capsinoids from coconut oil catalyzed by Candida rugosa lipases
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
A commercial preparation of Candida rugosa lipases (CRL) was tested for the production of capsinoids by esterification of vanillyl alcohol (VA) with free fatty acids (FA) and coconut oil (CO) as acyl donors. Screening of ...
The effect of cesium dopant on APCVD graphene coating on copper
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
This study reports in-situ cesium-doped graphene (G/Cs) coating obtained by introducing Cs2CO3 into the atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) furnace during graphene deposition on copper. The successful ...
The chitosan-based bioactive composite coating on titanium
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
This paper describes a promising electrophoretic deposition (EPD) approach for developing composite coatings based on chitosan with the additional components of hydroxyapatite, graphene, and gentamicin on titanium substrate. ...
Old Plant, New Possibilities: Wild Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L., Ericaceae) in Topical Skin Preparation
(Antioxidants, 2021)
Bilberry represents a valuable source of antioxidant substances responsible for its application for the treatment of different conditions (such as inflammation, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and different ...
The effect of the ultrasound agitation and source of ceria particles on the morphology and structure of the Zn-Co-CeO2 composite coatings
(Journal of Materials Research and Technology-JMR&T, 2021)
The goal of this research was to develop and analyse novel Zn-Co-CeO2 protective coatings on steel. Two different sources of ceria (CeO2) particles were employed: commercial powder and synthesized stable colloidal ...
The effect of mechanical activation on synthesis and properties of MgAl2O4 ceramics
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
Magnesium aluminate, MgAl2O4 and other alumina-based spinels are ceramics with high hardness, high melting point and mechanical strenght. Spinels can also be used as dielectrics in microwave applications. The goal of this ...
