Aging studies and sensing applications of protein-templated gold nanoclusters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Protein-templated gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) were synthesized using lysozyme VI (Lys VI), bovine serum albumin (BSA), and BSA nanoparticles (BSA NPs) ... -
Carbon dioxide adsorption on carbonized cigarette filters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Nowadays, the world is facing tremendous challenges due to increase in greenhouse gas emissions (mainly carbon dioxide), which causes a major global warming problem. CO2 release into the atmosphere is mainly due to burning ... -
The design of ultrafast routes to synthesis carbon nanotubes by microwave
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Carbon nanotubes are seamless cylinders of carbon skeletons with hexagonal honey comb structures. It also could be seen as the rolling of one or more ... -
Fluorescence studies and sensing application of carbon nanodots
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013) -
Functional ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents for luminescence sensing applications and carbon capture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Novel functional Ionic Liquids (ILs) and Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs), containing unique properties, were investigated. Eight new salts based on four different β-diketonate anions, each coupled with the choline or ... -
Lewis-base polymers for modifying absorption and desorption abilities of silica supported, amine based solid carbon dioxide capture materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)In order to slow down the climate changes caused by human activities and control the carbon dioxide CO2 concentration in atmosphere, various CO2 separation and capture technologies have been investigated and applied. Solid ... -
Microwave-aided synthesis and applications of gold and nickel nanoporous metal forms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)In the field of nanoscience, nanoporous metal foams are a representative type of nanostructured materials, representing the ultimate form factor of a metal. They possess the hybrid properties of metal and nanoarchitectures, ... -
Novel materials for capturing carbon dioxide at different temperatures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The primary goal of this research was to decrease the quantities of CO2 emission gases in the emission sources by absorption process using synthesized ... -
Preparing RGO/Mn3O4 Nanocomposite by using 3 different manganese precursors via microwave heating
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Graphene or graphene-based materials, within the last decade, has attracted tremendous attentions from researchers and scientist in different fields. ... -
Synthesis and applications of silver and palladium nano metal foams
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Nanoporous metal foams (NMFs), a relatively new class of materials with low-density, high surface area and conductivity, have been studied recently in nano science. These materials can be engineered to benefit many fields ... -
Thermophysical properties of nanoparticle-enhanced deep eutectic solvents (NEDESs) heat-transfer fluids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a new class of promising green media and considered as a versatile alternative to conventional ionic liquids (ILs), ...
