Abstract:Copper contamination is a serious
ecological and human health hazard.
Therefore, a multifunctional/synergistic process, which sequesters
Cu2+ while also providing additional functionalities (say
a high-value nanoparticle and an energy source as byproducts) would
be relevant. On the other hand, although several sophisticated methods
have been utilized for the synthesis of Al nanoparticles (NPs); simple
chemical synthesis of Al NPs, particularly in water, has not been
explored due to its instability in the aqueo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
