Hexagonal NaYF4: Er3+/Yb3+ (β-NaYF4) microprisms with uniform particle sizes were synthesized via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method (MWHM). Nucleation and crystal growth were significantly surpassed owing to the ...

Inorganic silica aerogels derived from sodium silicate are voluminous three-dimensional open networks with exceptional properties such as a density as low as ∼100 kg m−3, high porosity (∼99%), low thermal conductivity ...

Red beetroot extract is a widely used food colorant. Betalain is the major red pigment present in it, which is unstable at high temperature and pH. In this study, the edge of nanoemulsion over microemulsion in improving ...

The design and development of scalable, efficient photothermal evaporator systems that reduce microplastic pollution are highly desirable. Herein, a sustainable bacterial nanocellulose (BNC)-based self-floating bilayer ...

Waste valorization using biological methods for value addition as well as environmental management is becoming popular approach for sustainable development. The present review addresses the availability of blueberry crop ...

The active sludge treating propylene oxide saponification wastewater has heavy salt concentration and is hard to treat. The integration of the residual sludge treatment with polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production may provide ...

Biocatalysts have wider applications in various industries. Biocatalysts are generating bigger attention among researchers due to their unique catalytic properties like activity, specificity and stability. However the ...

We successfully fabricated dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) employing a quasi-solid state electrolyte based on pristine insulator natural rubber latex from Hevea brasiliensis and iodide electrolyte. Optimized devices ...

Industrialization for economic growth is harming our environment with various gas emissions, wastewater, harmful dust, and solid waste. Solid waste with hazardous content is one of the main contributors to environmental ...
