Green Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles Using Citrullus lanatus Fruit Rind Extract
TL;DR: This work reports a green method where silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized using silver nitrate and the aqueous extract of Citrullus lanatus fruit rind as the reductant and the capping agent.
Hydrogen Storage in High Surface Area Carbons with Identical Surface Areas but Different Pore Sizes: Direct Demonstration of the Effects of Pore Size
Eric Masika,Robert Mokaya +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of pore size on hydrogen uptake in high surface area porous carbons has been investigated and a simple and straightforward analysis of the influence has been made possible by comparing the uptake capacity of carbons with identical surface areas but with different pore sizes and pore distribution.

Exceptional gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen storage for densified zeolite templated carbons with high mechanical stability
Eric Masika,Robert Mokaya +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the densified zeolite templated carbons achieve an exceptional and unprecedented volumetric hydrogen uptake of 50 g l−1 at −196 °C and 20 bar, and an estimated maximum of up to 63 g l −1 at higher pressure.
Preparation of ultrahigh surface area porous carbons templated using zeolite 13X for enhanced hydrogen storage
Eric Masika,Robert Mokaya +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of zeolite 13X as a template to generate ultrahigh surface area carbons, via a two-step process combining liquid impregnation and chemical vapour deposition is explored.

High surface area metal salt templated carbon aerogels via a simple subcritical drying route: preparation and CO2 uptake properties
Eric Masika,Robert Mokaya +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for the formation of high surface area carbon aerogels from melamine-formaldehyde resins via metal salt (CaCl2) templating, wherein subcritical drying is used and no activation is required.
