Modern society pays further and further attention to environmental protection and the
promotion of sustainable energy solutions. Heterogeneous photocatalysis is widely …

We have proposed in 1992 that nanoparticles of layered compounds will be unstable
against folding and close into fullerene-like structures and nanotubes (IF). Nanotubes and …

In this study, the structure of synthetic magnesium silicate hydrated phases (MSH) and the
distribution of water as a function of the Mg/Si ratio were investigated. Different analytical …

In this work, clinochrysotile-like magnesium silicate nanotubes (MS-TNs) were fabricated by
a hydrothermal method and then modified with dodecyltrimethoxysilane (DTMS) for the first …

Structural complexity of minerals is characterized using information contents of their crystal
structures calculated according to the modified Shannon formula. The crystal structure is …

This handbook brings readers up to date with advances in thermoelectrics and
thermoelectric generators, as well as the advent of nanotechnology and the explosion of …

With contributions from leading experts, this book begins with an overview of thermoelectric
nanotechnology, setting the scene for the topics covered in the rest of the volume. It provides …

Most carbon on Earth is bound within minerals, and increasing the uptake of atmospheric
carbon dioxide into minerals may reduce the greenhouse gas content of the atmosphere …

Abstract Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), which is widely found in food and feed, poses a serious threat
to the health of human and livestock. In this work, functionalized nanoflower-like hydroxyl …

Carbon mineralisation of ultramafic mine tailings can reduce net emissions of anthropogenic
carbon dioxide by reacting Mg-silicate and hydroxide minerals with atmospheric CO 2 to …
