Design and engineering of nanostructured liquid metal composites for catalytic applications

Oloye, Olawale (2022) Design and engineering of nanostructured liquid metal composites for catalytic applications. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis concentrated on the study of the room temperature liquid metal, gallium and its eutectics. The application of liquid metal-based alloys to new areas of catalysis was extended by encompassing energy and environmental applications. A significant advancement in the potential application of liquid metal-based alloys in electrocatalysis, photocatalysis and sonocatalysis has resulted from this research. Significantly, research conducted on carbon dioxide capture/conversion to metal carbonates during this graduate study is currently being explored for industrial waste management.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
