A cheap and non-toxic way to selectively separate lithium isotopes – without using huge amounts of mercury – could help supply the future fuel needs of fusion reactors. The new approach uses a porous vanadium oxide compound that acts as an…

Let me start with a few comments about our medicinal chemistry group that probably apply equally to all of the therapeutic areas below. I have been told at various times over the years that computational methods were becoming so powerful…

The N2 adsorption–desorption analysis

The N₂ isotherms of prepared allophane, nano chitosan, and allophane-chitosan nanocomposite are indicated in Fig. 1a-c, respectively. The structure properties of compounds, such as surface area, pore…

Proposed mechanism in situ synthesis of agI, ag NPs, and ag@AgI

In-situ synthesis of nanoparticles onto the bamboo fabric surfaces was preceded via infrared-assisted one-pot incorporation of AgI, Ag NPs, and Ag@AgI NPs. Bamboo fabric surfaces…

Characterization of agro-waste fiber and biochar

The chemical constituents of three agro-waste fibers under investigation, namely: RS, DP, and GR, as potential biochar precursors, are displayed in Table 1. In comparison between them, it has been…
