Johnson Matthey Technology Review - Fast Track

The increase in population and need for energy in the world's fastest developing economies like India, make it critical to increase the supply of energy and augment its utilization. According to most of the energy projections, the expected future global and current demand patterns of energy are not sustainable. Thus, India will soon run out of its non-renewable energy sources. As per the study analysis, India receives 657.4 M Read More

Currently, the traditional hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process is extensively utilized in oil refining industry for removing of sulfur compounds from petroleum fractions which have worst environmentally and healthy effects behind the low products quality. HDS process needs to high pressure and temperature, costly hydrogen gas, and it has low activity towards extract of thiophene and its derivatives. Alternative desulfurization pro Read More

Nanoparticles have many applications, such in health, agriculture, etc. One of these essential nanoparticles is silver (Ag), which can be applied for drug delivery like encapsulation cause silver (Ag) nanoparticles have excellent antibacterial activity towards both human strains. In addition, silver synthesis can be explored by electrochemical approaches on bacterium after exposure to silver (Ag). The synthesis of nanoparticles can Read More

Abstract: The Ćuk converter is extensively utilized across various applications for its capability to handle a wide range of input voltages and efficiently perform both voltage step-up and step-down conversions. However, the presence of parasitic elements, such as inductor winding resistance, capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR), and losses in switches and diodes, significantly impacts the converter's perform Read More

This review is focused on “frustrated Lewis pair” (FLP) hydrogenations. Following a discussion of the conceptual discovery and initial efforts to exploiting the finding for metal-free hydrogenations, the scope of substrates that are susceptible to FLP hydrogenations are considered. The further advancement of FLPs to enantioselective reductions are discussed. Applications of the concept in transfer hydrogenation, and the reduc Read More

Solar power is the primary renewable energy solution for alleviating power shortages in developing areas. Leveraging this energy faces constraints arising from specific environmental conditions. Challenges in solar tracking systems include maintaining accuracy under varying environmental conditions, such as changes in sunlight, weather, and shadows, and ensuring reliable performance while minimizing energy consumption Read More

Research on building energy efficiency (BEE) has increased significantly over the last twenty years, creating a complex and fragmented landscape that complicates a thorough comprehension of the field's development and present condition. This study utilises a mixed-method approach that integrates bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review to investigate the BEE research environment from 2003 to 2023. We ex Read More

The ultrasonic and thermophysical properties of the platinum group metal nitrides (PGMNs) OsN, IrN and PtN were scrutinized along <100>, <110> and <111> orientations at room temperature. In present work, we evaluate the second, third, and fourth-order elastic constants of the PGMNs in the temperature span 0–500K using Coulomb and Born-Mayer potential model. At T=0K, the mechanical properties of PGMNs were inve Read More

Slurry erosion (SE) is a mechanically induced wear observed in concerned industries transiting the mixture of liquid and erodent particles, either naturally or affectedly. The kindred equipment and pipelines need frequent monitoring and slurry erosion prediction to check the severity of erosion for implementing preventive measures to minimize the damage of erosion wear. Experimental investigation/online condition monitoring Read More
