Alumina-based compounds have many technological applications and attract great attention even after decades of investigation, due to their good chemical, electrical, and mechanical properties. A mixture of several alumina ...

Iron oxide, in the form of magnetite (MG)–functionalized porous wollastonite (WL), was used as an adsorbent for heavy metal ions (cadmium and nickel) and oxyanions (chromate and phosphate) removal from water. The porous ...

Complexes 1-4, [Ru(L)(bpy)(2)]PF6, where bpy=2,2-bipyridine; HL=3-methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid (HL1), 6-methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid (HL2), 5-bromopyridine-2-carboxylic acid (HL3) and 6-bromopyridine-2-carboxylic ...

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a degenerative disease of the aortic wall with potentially fatal complications. Open Repair (OR) was considered the gold standard, until the emergence of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair ...

The increasing energy demands of modern society require a deep understanding of the properties of energy storage materials, as well as the tuning of their performance. We show that the capacitance of graphene oxide (GO) ...

In this study, we demonstrated the formation of a new type of AuAg@Ag nanostructure in titanium nitride (TiN) thin films using sequential implantation of Au and Ag ions. The TiN films deposited by DC reactive sputtering ...

A simple electrochemical sensor for bisphenol A (BPA) was developed based on a composite of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and 1-butyl-2, 3-dimethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (ionic liquid, IL) as a modifier for glassy ...

Calcium ruthenate (CaRuO3) is widely believed to be located close to a quantum critical point due to the strong non-Fermi-liquid behavior expressed in the temperature dependence of electronic transport, specific heat, ...

Biliverdin (BV), a product of heme catabolism, is known to interact with transition metals, but the details of such interactions under physiological conditions are scarce. Herein, we examined coordinate/redox interactions ...

Lignins and lignin-derived compounds are known to have antibacterial properties. The wound healing agents in the form of dressings produce faster skin repair and decrease pain in patients. In order to create an efficient ...
