Supercapacitors became more and important recently in the area of energy storage conversion. Their large power deliveries abilities, high stability environmental friendliness characteristics draw tremendous attention high-power applications such as public transit networks. Carbonaceous materials with unique surface electrochemical properties were widely used supercapacitors electrode materials....

In this study, nano graphene oxide (NGO) was synthesized by modified Hummer's method, the functionalization surface of amino acid (methionine, cysteine) covalent NGO with group using microwave 20% power (140 W) and characterization Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), field emission scanning electronic microscopy (FESEM). The calculated par...

in this study, kinetics and mechanism of the sulfur dioxide adsorption on the single-walled carbon nanotubes (cnt) are investigated. three single-walled carbon nanotubes, including the armchair (6,6), chiral (6,5) and zigzag (6,0) cnts were chosen as the models and the different orientations of so2 molecule relative to the cnt axis were considered. the b3lyp functional within the 6-31g(d) basis...

in recent years, it has become evident that it is necessary to systematically and accurately define particle characteristics in order to understand the potential toxicity of nanoparticles to biological systems. the properties that need to be emphasized are size, shape, dispersion, doping, aggregation, functionalization, physical and chemical properties, surface area, and surface chemistry. rout...

The current paper provides an overview to emphasize the role of functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in manipulating cure kinetics of epoxy nanocomposites, which itself determines ultimate properties of the resulting compound. In this regard, the most commonly used functionalization schemes, that is, carboxylation and amidation, are thoroughly surveyed to highlight the rol...

This review describes the progress of the development of surface chemical reactions for themodification of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and the fabrication of surface chemical gradients. Various chemical reactions can be carried out on SAMs to introduce new functionalities. “Click” reactions, which are highly efficient and selective, have largely contributed to the development and implement...

The alveolar respiratory unit constitutes one of the main targets of inhaled nanoparticles; the effect of engineered nanomaterials (NMs) on human health is largely unknown. Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is synthesized by alveolar type II epithelial cells and released into respiratory secretions; its main function is in immune defence, notably against inhaled microbes. SP-D also plays an important...
