We are now live with our 27th blog titled ‘Carbon based Nanomaterials’, authored by Dr. Prashant Gupta, M.E. PGD-CTM. Ph.D. , an industry expert and faculty member at Polymerupdate Academy. In this blog post, we will attempt to analyse the properties exhibited by carbon nanomaterials which make them suitable for scientific exploration and technological innovations, examine the most common types of carbon nanomaterials and their applications, and understand the need for a comprehensive research into factors that influence interactions between diverse carbon nanomaterials and living organisms. Our team of experts is dedicated to sharing informative and insightful posts every week, covering a broad range of topics related to the polymer industry. Our primary objective is to keep our readers up-to-date with the latest news, trends, and innovations in the industry, while also providing a detailed analysis of essential topics such as polymer production and market trends.

Once again, my special thanks to Michael Zhu for posting this article in his Chinese blog. The scientific and engineering applications for synthetic diamonds or lab-grown diamonds are clearly gaining momentum and there is a lot of “pivoting” to such applications being touted in LGD producing countries and private sector companies. This is a good story in light of the capacity glut in LGD production for jewellery use and narrowing profit margins but it is not clear how many companies have the technical know-how to carry out scientific R and D. Logically this pivot would require companies with deeper pockets. I have been told that as far as CVD manufacturing for jewellery application is concerned a grower with day 20 CVD machines may not be disadvantaged relative to growers with 1000 machines if they focus on a niche. I do not have data to support this but I do know that many larger growers have a tendency to focus on productivity of their “ovens” to make as many loafs of bread as possible to cater to less demanding quality requirements of the U.S. market. I suspect this is a self fulfilling prophecy. In the meantime I have yet to find a simple answer to how one can distinguish a higher quality CVD from a lower quality one. I read about growth lines in CVD.

Our recently published paper in Energy & Environmental Science has become both SCI "Highly Cited paper" and "Hot paper"! DOI: https://lnkd.in/eWUF7Mt2 The paper has a title of "Regulating active hydrogen adsorbed on grain boundary defects of nano-nickel for boosting ammonia electrosynthesis from nitrate". We proposed a new strategy of grain boundary (GB) defect engineering of nickel nanoparticles has been developed to electrocatalyze the nitrate reduction reaction, which achieves a high NH3 rate of 15.49 mmol h−1 cm−2 with a faradaic efficiency of 93.0%. This NH3 rate, to the best of our knowledge, is much higher than those reported for the commonly used materials including copper or noble metal-based catalysts. Both experimental and computational simulation results reveal that the GBs can significantly suppress the HER by regulating the H* to favor its consumption in the NitRR pathway rather than forming hydrogen. The adsorption of NO3* can also be promoted, thus effectively enhancing the key rate-determining step of NO3* to NO2*.

Recently, a paper was published in Biomacromolecules, As the first co-author cooperated with Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, CAS.The demand for sustainable development has led to increasing attention in biobased polyesters due to their adjustable thermal and mechanical properties and biodegradability. In this study, we used a novel bioderived aromatic diacid, 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid (TDCA) to synthesize a list of novel aromatic−aliphatic poly(alkylene adipate-cothiophenedicarboxylate) (PAATh) copolyesters through a facile melt polycondensation method.  The state-of-the-art molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were applied to elucidate the different enzymatic degradation behaviors.

So I did this thing 😊 For some years we have been investigating the reduction of N2 to ammonia in aqueous conditions. However, the yields are often so low, they can not be distinguished from ambient levels of ammonia or other traces of reactive nitrogen species. Turns out the widely used validation method of isotopically labelling the N2 gas also greatly suffers from the presence of these (labelled) contaminants. Science should be all about being critical and continuously checking whether your results truly support the theory. You can read all about it in our latest article 👇 https://lnkd.in/gHdh9dyU

I am glad to present now the results of my colleagues and me as a research article in the journal RSC Mechanochemisty. It all started with the battery recycling technology developed by the supervisor of my PhD Oleksandr Dolotko and the idea to improve this technology for its application to lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery materials. During our studies, we found valuable insights into the reaction behaviour of this material and how to further improve this process to facilitate economic recycling of LFP, for which no industrial solution currently exists.

Titanium carbide is one of the most commonly used MXene materials available in the literature. It is predicted that these MXenes can be used as both biocompatible and mechanical strength-increasing reinforcements in composites. Our PhDc. member Paşa Yaman is working on MXene-reinforced biomaterials planned to be fabricated by additive manufacturing under the supervision of our coordinator Bedri Onur Kucukyildirim. #2dnanomaterials #MXenes #composites #biocompatibility
