Gadolinium Powder
As a
silvery-white rare-earth metal, gadolinium (Gd) is a slightly malleable ductile
chemical element categorized among the lanthanides in the periodic table of
elements with the atomic weight and number of 157 and 64, respectively. Gadolinium engages in a gradual oxidation reaction with atmospheric moisture
and oxygen. The magnetic property of gadolinium is time-dependent with
ferromagnetic behavior at temperatures below 20°C (Curie point) and
paramagnetic behavior at temperatures ab

What are the Applications of Metal Organic Frameworks?
Metal organic frameworks are
versatile compounds with unique properties. Their tunable porous structure is
exploited by numerous different application areas such as renewable energy,
environmental applications, catalysis, sensors, and biomedicine. Metal organic
frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline structures with high surface areas.
The structure of MOFs is constituted by inorganic secondary building units
(SBUs) and organic linker molecules between them. IntroductionSBU

Cellulose Nanofibers
Cellulose
occurs abundantly and naturally as raw material on Earth amounting billions of
tons made by many different plant species. Technically, cellulose is a cheap,
light-weight, thermally stable organic compound and one of the most common
agents to meet the standards of sustainable chemistry since it is naturally
biodegradable as well as renewable. Within plants, cellulose fibers are
produced by microfibrils that are highly crystalline entity.Introduction In the past years,

Explained Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Single-walled
carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are one-dimensional allotropes of carbon atoms with
sp2 hybridization prepared by rolling graphene sheets up to adopt a
tubular morphology. In general, one, two or more rolls of graphene sheets are
known as single- (SWCNTs), double- (DWCVTs) and multi-walled graphene nanotubes
(MWCNTs), respectively.Technically, single-walled carbon nanotubes have found
applications in various fields of science, technology, new-age nanoelectroic
devices and ind
