The discharge of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] from several anthropogenic activities leads to environmental pollution. In this study, we explore a simple yet cost effective method for the synthesis of palladium (Pd) ...

Comparison of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) synthesised using different methods, conditions and post-treatment is difficult to achieve because these greatly modify their material properties. This paper aims to provide ...

As climate change continues to rank high among issues of global concern, industries such as agriculture and construction continue to unearth possible ways to curb carbon dioxide generation and encourage the use or reuse ...

The nature of letsoku and related clayey soils, traditionally used by indigenous Southern African communities for a wide range of purposes, was explored. Thirty nine samples were collected from Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, ...

Hydrocalumite is a layered double hydroxide (LDH) that is finding increased application in numerous scientific fields. Typically, this material is produced through environmentally polluting methods such as co-precipitation, ...

This work highlights the use of Fe-modified MgAl-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) to replace dye and semiconductor complexes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), forming a layered double hydroxide solar cell (LDHSC). For ...

This work involves the in-situ synthesis and application of a visible-light activated composite catalyst. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesised photocatalyst was investigated by tracking the degradation of ...

In this study, highly efficient silver halide (Ag/AgX where X= Cl, Br, I), photocatalysts were successfully synthesized through hydrothermal method. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), ...
