Restructuring Chemical Education to Align with Materials Science for Addressing Climate Change and Achieving Environmental Sustainability
‘Chemistry’ has a long and distinguished history as a ‘core science’ in secondary and tertiary science education, and materials science is rapidly emerging as a major discipline in the tertiary sector. Hence, a strong case can be made to align traditional chemistry with materials science at all levels of science education to address climate change and g... Read More
The Double Alpha Decay of Curium and Berkelium Isotopes
The double alpha (2α) emission from several Cm and Bk isotopes with mass number A=211 to 286 are studied within the Modified Generalized Liquid Drop Model (MGLDM) and Universal Decay Law (UDL). The half-lives for most probable 2α emission, calculated within MGLDM by using different preformation factors (Pc), are presented. The observed peak (maxima) or dip (minima)in 2α decay half-life is responsible for the stability of the parent or dau... Read More
2D/2D nanohybrid composed of g-C3N4and MoS2 as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue from wastewater
Here we report the fabrication of a 2D/2D nanohybrid composed of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of organic dye pollutants. The g-C3N4 was synthesized by direct heating of thiourea and ammonium sulphate at 550 ºC. The MoS₂ nanosheets were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The g-C3N4/MoS2nanohybri... Read More
