First Principles Study of Porous Carbon as Anode Material for Metal-Ion (Na, Li, Mg) Batteries Applications
(2019-06-23)
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been identified as an effective technology for grid-scale energy storage because of relatively low cost and natural abundance of sodium, but the lack of suitable anode materials with high ...
Bioactive Polymer as an Alternative Binder for Electrochemical Capacitors
(2019-07-13)
Binders are important components of electrodes of supercapacitors because of their ability to adhere active components and make the resultant slurry to adhere on current collectors.
This work seeks to investigate the ...
Investigation of Lead-Free Bismuth Perovskite by Numerical Simulation using Scaps
(2019-06-23)
The theoretical study of methylammonium bismuth halide, (CH 3 NH 3 ) 3 Bi 2 I 9 , was simulated using SCAPS 1D software package. The effect of the bismuth perovskite absorber layer thickness on the solar cell performance ...
First-Principles Density Functional Theory Studies of the Structural and Electronic Properties of Prodigiosin as a Cancer Drug
(2019-06-23)
Prodigiosin molecule, whose efficacy in the treatment of cancer has proven positive, has been studied using first-principles Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods as implemented in VASP - Vienna Ab initio Simulation ...
Design, Construction and Evaluation of Charcoal, Activated Carbon, Moringa Seed and Sand Water Filtration Systems
(2019-06-23)
The majority of human population especially in developing countries suffers from water-borne diseases such as skin abscesses, cellulitis, skin infections, and diarrhoea due to improperly treated water. Safe drinking water ...
Design and Testing of Mycelium Biocomposite
(2019-06-23)
The growing global understanding of ecological footprints and environmental pollution invented by humans is gainfully affecting our material design practice, pushing the search for more sustainable alternatives, and ...
Assessment of Barite Deposit in Nassarawa State for Oil Drilling Application
(2019-06-23)
Drilling fluids play sophisticated roles in the drilling process which include, keeping formation fluids at bay, stabilizing the wellbore without damaging the formation, lubricating the bit and drill-string and clearing ...
Ph- Responsive Dextran Gated Functionized Mesoporous Silica for Drug Delivery
(2019-07-12)
Mesoporous materials have generated a lot of interest over the past few decades owing to their wide range of applications in catalysis, separation, drug delivery, sensors, adsorption, photonics, nanodevices etc. To realise ...
Hydrometallurgical Recovery of Lithium and Cobalt from Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries
(2019-07-12)
The demand for lithium-ion batteries is high because of their high energy and power density, which most time is influenced by the lithium-ion cathode chemistry. However, the need for expensive and scarce metals, such as ...
Evaluation of Some Characteristics of the Barite Deposits in Ribi, Nassarawa State for Industrial Application
(AUST, 2019-07-15)
This study aimed at characterizing and evaluating the viability of barite deposits within Ribi for industrial applications. There is an inadequacy of information as regards mineralization, chemical and geotechnical properties ...
