Biphenyl-Bridged Wrinkled Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Radioactive Iodine Capture
Brown, Alexander T.; Lin, Jason; Thomas, Milana C.; Chabal, Yves J.; Balkus, Kenneth J. (Cambridge Univ Press, 2019-02-11)The capture of volatile radioactive iodine-129 is an important process for nuclear fission. Biphenyl-bridged wrinkled mesoporous silica shows similar performance for iodine sequestration to commercial Ag-mordenite and ... -
Nanocast Carbon Microsphere Flowers from a Lanthanum-Based Template
Brown, Alexander T.; Thomas, Milana C.; Chabal, Yves J.; Balkus, Kenneth J. (Elsevier Science B.V., 2018-09-11)Hollow carbon microsphere flowers were nanocast from glucose, acrylamide, and acetylene sources. Carbon growth was catalyzed by a lanthanum graft copolymer template using wet acetylene. The resulting spherical shape is ... -
Novel Binder-Free Electrode Materials for Supercapacitors Utilizing High Surface Area Carbon Nanofibers Derived from Immiscible Polymer Blends of PBI/6FDA-DAM:DABA
Abeykoon, Nimali C.; Garcia, Velia; Jayawickramage, Rangana A.; Perera, Wijayantha; Cure, Jeremy; Chabal, Yves J.; Balkus, Kenneth J.; Ferraris, John P. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-06-01)Carbon nanofibers with high surface area have become promising electrode materials for supercapacitors because of their importance in increasing energy density. In this study, a high free volume polymer, 6FDA-DAM:DABA ...
