The FFC Cambridge process and its relevance to valorisation of ilmenite and titanium-rich slag (2014)
Journal Article

© 2015 Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining and The AusIMM. The Fray-Farthing-Chen (FFC) Cambridge process was patented in 1998 for low cost and clean electrochemical extraction of metals and synthesis of alloys directly from the mineral precu...

Titanium carbide nanocube core induced interfacial growth of crystalline polypyrrole/polyvinyl alcohol lamellar shell for wide-temperature range supercapacitors (2014)
Journal Article

This is the first investigation on electrically conducting polymers–based supercapacitor electrodes over a wide temperature range, from −18 °C to 60 °C. A high-performance supercapacitor electrode material consisting of TiC nanocube core and conforma...

Investigation of electrochemical reduction of GeO2 to Ge in molten CaCl2-NaCl (2014)
Journal Article

Electrochemical reduction of solid GeO2 has been investigated in the mixed CaCl2-NaCl melt at 1023 K for developing a more efficient process for preparation of Ge. Cyclic voltammetry and potentiostatic electrolysis were applied to study the GeO2-load... Read More about Investigation of electrochemical reduction of GeO2 to Ge in molten CaCl2-NaCl.

Indirect electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to carbon nanopowders in molten alkali carbonates: Process variables and product properties (2014)
Journal Article

Carbon was deposited on a mild steel cathode during electrolysis in the molten mixture of Li2CO3 and K2CO3 (mole ratio: 62:38) under CO2 or mixed N2 and CO2 atmospheres at 3.0–5.0 V and 540–700 °C. In a three-electrode cell, cyclic voltammetry was ap...

A sunlight assisted dual purpose photoelectrochemical cell for low voltage removal of heavy metals and organic pollutants in wastewater (2014)
Journal Article

Photoelectrochemical cells that consisted of a Pt (small cells) or Ti (large cells) cathode and a sunlight responsive WO3 photoanode were built for simultaneous removal of heavy metal ions and organic pollutants. Synthetic wastewater samples containi... Read More about A sunlight assisted dual purpose photoelectrochemical cell for low voltage removal of heavy metals and organic pollutants in wastewater.

Cryo-solvatochromism in ionic liquids (2014)
Journal Article

Cryo-solvatochromism (blue to green) in response to cooling from room temperature to well below 0 °C can have many applications, and has been achieved in an ionic liquid, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, containing di-(1-buty...

Carbon electrodeposition in molten salts: Electrode reactions and applications (2014)
Journal Article

The chemistry of carbon deposition in molten salts has been studied by a number of researchers with quite different interpretations of the reactions involved. This paper therefore reviews and discusses available literature on the cathodic and anodic... Read More about Carbon electrodeposition in molten salts: Electrode reactions and applications.
