Activated Carbon from Plant-Biomass Waste Materials as Electrodes for Supercapacitor Applications
(2016-06-20)
This work is aimed at studying activated carbons as supercapacitor electrode materials derived from plant biomass waste materials. The activated carbon raw materials are sourced from coconut shell, pine cone and rice husk ...
Structural and Mechanical Properties of Termite Soil as a Partial Replacement to Cement
(2016-03-22)
Materials selection is done regarding to the availability, cost and performance of the candidates. In buildings, cement is the material that is widely used, even though it is releases co2 (estimated about 7% of the worldwide ...
Effect of Sintering Time on Mechanical Properties of Porous Ti-6al-4v Implant
(2016-07-12)
Titanium alloy is popular in biomedical application owing to its low density, good biocompatibility (i.e. biological and chemical inertness) and excellent mechanical properties. Due to the high disparity between the implant ...
Performance of a Nigerian Metakaolin-Based Geopolymer as a Sustainable Building Material
(2017-12-17)
Existing data show that Portland cement material production contributes ~8% to the global CO2 emissions. This is detrimental to the environment and can lead to global warming. It is therefore pertinent to develop alternative ...
Environmental Effect of Iron Ore Mining Operations in Itakpe, Kogi State
(2016-03-15)
Topsoil stripping, drilling and blasting extraction, waste rock dumping, loading, and unloading, crushing and screening, and materials transport are among other activities involved in iron ore mining. These activities ...
Adsorption of Dissolved Ions in Mine Wastewater with Laterite and Iron Oxide Nanoparticles
(2016-06-20)
This work studies the adsorption capacity of laterite and iron oxide nanoparticles for dissolved ions in solution and therefore its ability to reduce conductivity of mine waste effluent. Three laterite samples were prepared ...
Effects of Prodigiosin on Breast Cancer Cell Viability
(2016-07-22)
The Luteinizing Hormone-releasing Hormone (LHRH); also known as a Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone can be utilized for targeted therapy with cytotoxic analogs, in which prodigiosin is linked to the [D-Lys6] LHRH. Our studies ...
Morphology Analysis of Lead Iodide- and Lead Acetate-Based Perovskite Layers for Solar Cell Application
(2018-12-09)
Organolead trihalide perovskite solar cells have shown success as light absorbers in photovoltaic cells due to their efficiency increasing from 3.5% to over 20% within only five years. However, pinhole formation and ...
Sweet Corrosion Inhibition of Carbon Steel Using a Blend of Palm-Jatropha Leaf Extract in 3.5% Nacl Solution
(2017-12-12)
This research focused on studying the suitability of a blend of plant extracts for sweet corrosion inhibition on carbon steel in 3.5% NaCl solution. A comparative study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of sweet ...
Carbon Soot as a Potential and Sustainable Source of Porous Nanostructure for Energy Storage
(2017-11-13)
There is a need for efficient energy storage to meet the world’s continuous demand for energy. The electrical energy storage devices available are conventional capacitors, electrochemical supercapacitors, batteries and ...
