Application of Nanomaterials for X-ray Shielding and Dosimetry in Diagnostic Radiology
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-21)Lead is commonly used in medical radiology departments as a shielding material against X-rays. Lead-based protective materials are also routinely used by clinical personnel and patients during radiological examinations or ... -
Linking Lattice Strain and Electron Transfer Kinetics in Crystalline Layered Double Hydroxides
(American Chemical Society, 2022-09-28)The improved electrocatalytic property of disordered metal hydroxides relative to that of crystalline layered double hydroxides remains a poorly understood phenomenon. We use a hydrothermally synthesized series of mixed ... -
Study of the morphology control and solid solution behaviour of Olivine LiMPO4 (M = Fe, Mn, and Co)
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-16)Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) is one of the most promising cathode materials for lithium ion rechargeable batteries. It has a high theoretical specific capacity (170 mAh/g) and operating potential (3.45 V vs. Li+/Li). ... -
Synthesis of Vertically-Aligned Zinc Oxide Nanowires and Their Application as a Photocatalyst
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2017-01-11)Vertically aligned zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires were hydrothermally synthesized on a glass substrate with the assistance of a pre-coated ZnO seeding layer. The crystalline structure, morphology and transmission spectrum of ...
