Porous heterostructure of h-BN/carbon as an efficient electrocatalyst for hydrogen peroxide generationCarbon Letters - - 2024
Xiang Xu, Yuying Zhao, Qixin Yuan, Yuhan Wu, Jiawei He, Mengmeng Fan
We successfully synthesized a porous carbon material with abundant hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) dispersed on a carbon matrix (p-BN-C) as efficient electrocatalysts for two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e− ORR) to produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). This catalyst was fabricated via ball-milling-assisted h-BN exfoliation and subsequent growth of carbon structure. In alkaline solutions, the h-...... hiện toàn bộ
C/SiO2 and C/SiC composite foam monoliths from rice husk for thermal insulation and EMI shieldingCarbon Letters - Tập 32 - Trang 639-651 - 2021

Preparation of advanced functional materials from agricultural waste by eco-friendly processing route is inevitable for sustainable development. This work demonstrates the development of carbon/silica (C/SiO2) and carbon/silicon carbide (C/SiC) composite foam monoliths of low thermal conductivity, high EMI shielding performance and reasonable compressive strength from rice husk. The C/SiO2 and C/S...... hiện toàn bộ
Study of a melt processable polymer precursor for carbon fiberCarbon Letters - Tập 29 - Trang 605-612 - 2019

Carbon fibers (CF) are predominantly being manufactured from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based precursors which require solution spinning utilizing health hazardous organic solvent. This also adds to the cost of production due to the investment for the solvent recovery. Study of melt processable precursors has long been sought as a solution for health and environmental problems associated with the use...... hiện toàn bộ

Black phosphorus (BP) is incorporated in the electrochemical detection of uric acid (UA) to form few layers of BP nanosheets (BPNS)-modified glassy carbon electrodes (BPNS/GCE), investigated by means of ultrasound-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation. We find a significant increase in the peak current magnitude and positive potential shift in the electrochemical response of BPNS/GCE, which may be att...... hiện toàn bộ
Microporous-activated carbons of type I adsorption isotherm derived from sugarcane bagasse impregnated with zinc chlorideCarbon Letters - Tập 32 - Trang 229-249 - 2021

Sugarcane bagasse has been used as a substrate for the development of microporous nano-activated carbons for the treatment and elimination of dissolved materials from aquatic environment. The activated carbon was produced using chemical activation in one-step method with zinc chloride (ZnCl2) as the activating agent at a carbonization temperatures range from 500 to 900 °C. The effects of temperatu...... hiện toàn bộ
Mechanical and microstructural properties of ultrafine slag cement mortar reinforced with graphene oxide nanosheetsCarbon Letters - Tập 33 - Trang 1649-1660 - 2023
T. Yeswanth Sai, P. Jagadeesh
Graphene oxide (GO) and ultrafine slag (UFS) have been applied to reinforce cement mortar cubes (CMC) in this research. The consequences of GO and UFS on the mechanical attributes of the CMC were explored through experimental investigations. Established on the results, at the 28 days of hydration, the CMC compressive and flexural strength with 0.03% of GO and 10% UFS were 89.8 N/mm2 and 9.1 N/mm2,...... hiện toàn bộ
