Efficient solid-phase RNA extraction using carbon nanomaterials
Videira, AM; Ferreira, PL; Sampaio, M.J.; Serp, P; Faria, JL; Silva, CG; Sousa, FRecent research highlights RNA's ' s therapeutic potential in nucleic acid-based therapies. However, effective RNA recovery and purification remain challenging due to similar impurities affecting therapeutic outcomes. Traditional RNA isolation methods are often slow, inefficient, and involve toxic reagents. Carbon-based materials offer a promising alternative as adsorbents for nucleic acids due to their excelle...
Efficient photocatalytic reactors via 3D printing: SLA fabrication and TiO2 hyb...
Barbosa, ISO; Manrique, Y.A.; Paiva, D.; Faria, JL; Santos, RJ; Silva, CGAdditive Manufacturing (AM) was evaluated as a promising technology for constructing photocatalytic reactors due to its inherent ability to produce complex geometries with high precision and customization. In this work, a 3D structure was designed to achieve a good light distribution inside a cylindrical batch reactor and printed using the stereolithography (SLA) technique. A hybrid material composed of a comme...
Metal-free carbon nitride polymeric films for the synthesis of valuable organic...
Constantino, DSM; José Carlos B. Lopes; Carneiro, RC; Lopes, JCB; Madalena M. Dias; Faria, JL; Silva, CGImmobilised photocatalytic systems can strongly contribute to attaining more sustainable chemical processes, reducing downstream units for photocatalyst recovery and purification of the target molecules. On the other hand, it is known that this kind of photocatalytic system usually presents higher mass transfer resistance when compared with slurries and, consequently, slower kinetics. Besides, this can be even ...
Hybrid magnetic graphitic nanocomposites for catalytic wet peroxide oxidation a...
Rui S. Ribeiro; Silva, Adrian; Tavares, PB; José Luis Figueiredo; Faria, JL; Gomes, HTFe3O4, with a lattice parameter a = 8.357 A and average particle size of 12.5 +/- 3.6 nm, was successfully encapsulated within a graphitic structure by a hierarchical co-assembly approach, followed by thermal annealing. The resulting material was denoted as MGNC-magnetic graphitic nanocomposite. MGNC possesses average core size of 109 +/- 35 nm (mainly composed by agglomerates of magnetic nanoparticles), stabil...
