Mg Ni mixed metal oxide photocathodes have been prepared by a mixed NiCl2/MgCl2 sol-gel process. The MgO/NiO electrodes have been extensively characterized using physical and electrochemical methods. Dye-sensitized solar cells have been prepared from... Read More about Ni Mg Mixed Metal Oxides for p-Type Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells.

Determining the lower limit of Liangzhu culture based on black carbon purification with hydropyrolysis technique (2015)
Journal Article
Zhang, X., Huang, D., Han Deng, H., Snape, C., Meredith, W., Zhao, Y., …Sun, Y. (2015). Determining the lower limit of Liangzhu culture based on black carbon purification with hydropyrolysis technique. Quaternary Geochronology, 30(A), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quageo.2015.07.001

Located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Liangzhu Culture was one of the most important Neolithic cultures at the dawn of Chinese civilization. However, uncertainty over the lower age limit ending the Liangzhu Culture has res...

Utilization of carbonaceous materials to restore the coking properties of weathered coals (2015)
Journal Article
Castro Diaz, M., Fernanda Vega, M., Barriocanal, C., & Snape, C. (2015). Utilization of carbonaceous materials to restore the coking properties of weathered coals. Energy and Fuels, 29(9), 5744–5749. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.5b01575

Coking coals with different rank and maceral compositions have been weathered, and their fluidity has been determined through high-temperature rheometry. The pristine and weathered coals were blended with carbonaceous additives comprised of coal tar,...

Fate of soil organic carbon and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a vineyard soil treated with biochar (2015)
Journal Article
Rombolà, A. G., Meredith, W., Baronti, S., Snape, C. E., Genesio, L., Vaccari, F. P., …Fabbri, D. (2015). Fate of soil organic carbon and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a vineyard soil treated with biochar. Environmental Science and Technology, 49(18), https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5b02562

The effect of biochar addition on the levels of black carbon (BC) and polcyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in a vineyard soil in central Italy was investigated within a two year period. Hydropyrolysis (HyPy) was used to determine the contents of BC... Read More about Fate of soil organic carbon and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a vineyard soil treated with biochar.
