Electro-spun transparent film from banana pseudo-stem native cellulose using N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide solvent system
Livifile, Silla; Tarus, Bethwel; Kisula, Lydia; Kivevele, Thomas; Thomas, Yusufu (Elsevier, 2025-04-21)The study-utilized electrospinning to prepare a transparent film from native cellulose extracted from banana pseudo stems. The process of electrospinning was performed at room temperature conditions, after which the cellulose ... -
Electrospun carbon nanofibers for use in the capacitive desalination of water
Tarus, Bethwel; Jande, Yusufu; Njau, Karoli (Elsevier, 2022-12)Capacitive deionization (CDI) has rapidly become a promising approach for water desalination. The technique removes salt from water by applying an electric potential between two porous electrodes to cause adsorption of ... -
Fabrication of porous carbon nanofiber webs from polyacrylonitrile and cellulose acetate for NaCl removal from water using capacitive deionization
Tarus, Bethwel; Jande, Yusufu; Njau, Karoli (IWA Publishing, 2024-01-01)Capacitive deionization (CDI) has shown potential in addressing freshwater scarcity. CDI's electrode design is a key to better performance as it determines the extent of water purification. For carbon electrodes, the pore ...
