Large volumes of fresh water are consumed in the process of oil and gas exploration, producing even larger volumes of highly contaminated produced water (PW) which exhibits a major environmental problem. This work investigates the... more
h i g h l i g h t s Self-healing performance of epoxybased double-layer coatings are reported. The epoxy matrix is reinforced with modified zirconia (ZrO 2) nanoparticles. ZrO 2 nanoparticles are modified with Imidazole and PEI as the... more
Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have many advantages such as the low price and abundance of sodium raw materials that are suitable for large-scale energy storage applications. Herein, we report an Mn-based pyrophosphate, Na 2 MnP 2 O 7 , as a... more
NiB coatings have gained a great deal of attraction due to their promising mechanical properties. Owing to tempting properties, NiB coatings have succeeded to find their applications in automotive, aerospace, petrochemical, plastic,... more
The development of secondary batteries based on abundant and cheap elements is vital. Among various alternatives to conventional lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising due to the abundant resources and low cost... more
Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings were developed through an electrodeposition process to study the effect of addition of Y 2 O 3 particles on structure, surface, thermal, mechanical, and anticorrosion properties of NiB coatings. It is... more
