Titanium Carbide Nanoparticles
Titanium
carbide represents a transitional metal carbide with a melting point of about
3100°C, a hardness as much as 28 to 35 GPa (based on Vickers test) and the
electrical conductivity as 450 GPa has a high chemical conductivity and high
thermal shock resistance. Titanium carbide is originally an extremely hard refractory
ceramic material looking like a black powder. Ti is also a wear and corrosion
resistant inert and hard material. Titanium carbide occurs as a very rare
mineral nat

Graphene Aerogels
Graphene aerogels (GAs) are materials
that combine the intriguing properties of graphene with the tunable 3-D nature
of aerogel structure. The high surface area, porous structure, thermal and
electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and chemical stability of GAs are
widely utilized in energy storage applications and environmental protection
processes.Graphene aerogels are
novel structures that have recently attracted attention due to their excellent
intrinsic properties.Introduc

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?
What Are Metal-Organic Frameworks?
Metal-organic frameworks, commonly known as MOFs, are porous crystalline materials formed by connecting metal ions or metal clusters with organic linkers. This structure creates highly ordered networks with internal pores, channels and cavities that can host gases, ions, molecules or active chemical species.
The main advantage of MOFs is their tunability. By changing the metal center, organic linker, pore size or surface chemistry, researchers can design MOFs f

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,
