Synthesis, Characterization, and Theoretical Modeling of 2D Molybdenum Boride (MBene) for All Solid-State Flexible Interdigitated Supercapacitor Application.

Recently, two-dimensional transition metal borides (2D MBenes) have demonstrated advanced physical, mechanical, and electrochemical performance; however, there are fewer studies in the literature. In particular, 2D molybdenum boride (2D MoB), created from molybdenum aluminum boride (MoAlB, MAB phase), is one of the important materials introduced due to its thermodynamically stable structure. Herein, we present the preparation of MoAlB and its chemical exfoliation by employing NaOH and LiF-HCl etching solutions to synthesize 2D MoB MBene nanostructures.

Preparation and characterization of low-cost activated carbon from chemically activated using ZnCl for the adsorption of bisphenol A.

The use of agricultural by-products such as plants is one effort to support the reduction of environmental pollution. Activated carbon produces from agricultural wastes is relatively less expensive and can replace traditional methods such as renewable as well as nonrenewable materials such as petroleum residue and coal. In this study, the removal of bisphenol A from aqueous media was studied using activated carbon produced from pods and peels.
