(Springer, 2019-07-20)Transition metal oxides have applications into energy storage devices such as electrochemical supercapacitors. We deposited nickel oxide (NiO) thin films using electrodeposition under direct and pulse potentiometry. The ... -
Enhancement of the capacitance properties and the photoelectrochemical performances of P3HT film by incorporation of nickel oxide nanoparticles
(Springer, 2018-11-15)P3HT films were modified by incorporation of different amounts of nickel oxide (NiO). The nickel oxide powder was synthe- sized by chronoamperometry. The composites were further dissolved and deposited by the spin-coating ... -
Photonic crystal based broadband graphene saturable absorber
(OSA Publishing, 2019-10-01)The enhanced saturable absorption (SA) of a one- dimensional (1D) photonic crystal (PC) made from polymers and graphene composites by spin-coating is observed. It shows obvious bandgaps at two wavelengths in transmittance. ... -
Synthesis and properties of alumina-hydroxyapatite composites from natural phosphate for phenol removal from water
(Elsevier, 2019-07-01)Phenol is very abundant in the aquatic environment and therefore requires an effective treatment using porous and low-cost adsorbents. Alumina-hydroxyapatite composites were prepared from natural phosphate ore in the ... -
Development of sulfonate-functionalized hydroxyapatite nanoparticles for cadmium removal from aqueous solutions
(Elsevier, 2019-05-01)Sulfonate-functionalized hydroxyapatite was successfully synthesized by organo- functionalization using natural phosphate and Benzenedisulfonate molecules. The modified apatites were characterized using multiple techniques, ... -
Enhanced Near-Infrared Electroluminescence from a Neodymium Complex in Organic Light-Emitting Diodes with a Solution-Processed Exciplex Host
