High-surface-area mesoporous MgO-templated nanocarbons made with reinforcing fibres from scrap tyres and a bituminous waste as carbon precursor were employed for the simultaneous adsorption of Cd and reactive Cibacron Brilliant Yellow 3G-P dye. A commercial activated carbon (AC) Darco KB-WJ was also used for comparison purposes. The effect of the pH of the solution was studied to establish whet...

Hybridizing nanocarbons, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or graphene, with an active material is a powerful strategy towards designing next-generation functional materials for environmental and sustainable energy applications. While research on nanocomposites, created by dispersing the nanocarbon into polymer or ceramic matrices, began almost immediately after the popularization of CNTs and gra...

Different types of crystalline carbon nanomaterials were used to reinforce polyaniline for use in electromechanical bilayer bending actuators. The objective is to analyze how the different graphitic structures of the nanocarbons affect and improve the in situ polymerized polyaniline composites and their subsequent actuator behavior. The nanocarbons investigated were multiwalled carbon nanotubes...

Free energies for graphene exfoliation from bilayer graphene using ionic liquids based on various cations paired with the bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion were determined from adaptive bias force-molecular dynamics (ABF-MD) simulation and fall in excellent qualitative agreement with experiment. This method has notable potential as an a priori screening tool for performance based rank ord...

We coated graphitic nanocarbons by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on silicon flakes recycled from the waste of wafer manufacturing processes as an active material for anode lithium ion battery (LIB). Ferrocene contains both iron catalyst and carbon, while camphor serves additional carbon source. Water promotes catalytic growth nanocarbons, including nanotubes (CNTs), fibers (CFs), film...
