Journal ArticleDOI
A thermophysical battery for storage-based climate control
Shankar Narayanan,Hyunho Kim,Ari S. Umans,Sungwoo Yang,Xiansen Li,Scott N. Schiffres,Sameer R. Rao,Ian Salmon McKay,Carlos A. Rios Perez,Carlos Hidrovo,Evelyn N. Wang +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the concept of a thermophysical battery, which operates by storing thermal energy and subsequently releasing it to provide heating and cooling on demand, taking advantage of the adsorption-desorption and evaporation-condensation mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective alkylation of phenol to 2,6-xylenol over vanadia—chromia mixed oxide catalysts
TL;DR: In this paper, the acidity of the catalysts was measured by n-butylamine titration and by cyclohexanol dehydration at 523 K, which was also used as an acidity index.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure activity relationship in Pd/hydrotalcite: effect of calcination of hydrotalcite on palladium dispersion and phenol hydrogenation
Shankar Narayanan,K. Krishna +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used CO chemisorption to estimate the dispersion and metal area of Pd and Pd 2+ in the brucite layer for comparison.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrafast energy transfer from 3-mercaptopropionic acid-capped CdSe/ZnS QDs to dye-labelled DNA
TL;DR: High FRET efficiency and estimated donor–acceptor distance suggests that the adsorptive interactions between DNA and MPA-capped QDs result in a conformation in which DNA lies along the surface of the QD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photostabilization of dye on anatase titania nanoparticles by polymer capping
Sunkara V. Manorama,K. Madhusudan Reddy,C.V. Gopal Reddy,Shankar Narayanan,P. Rajesh Raja,P.R. Chatterji +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of the polymer on the photodegradation of TiO2 nanoparticles encapsulated in different polymers has been compared and explained by diffused reflectance UV spectroscopy.
