Duration |
06 months (1861/HĐ-ĐHVL dated 28/11/2022) |
|
Keywords |
Forecast Rubber future prices |
|
Objectives |
To forecast the exact price of rubber future contracts on three international exchanges |
|
Contents |
A future contract is an agreement between a buyer and a seller for a transaction to take place in the future at a predetermined price. Currently, there are about 34 rubber futures tickers traded, with 10-12 rubber futures tickers traded on each exchange according to month-to-month expiration. Analyzing and forecasting the trends of these futures contracts can help businesses be more proactive in business planning, inventory management and product cost reduction through efficient operation. Fruit. |
|
Expected Outputs |
To propose 04 accurate price forecasting models for 34 futures contracts at 3 exchanges in 01 week, 01 month and 6 months, and to set up summary reports on pdf files based on forecast results. |

Duration |
12 months |

Keywords |
Catalysis |
Electrochemical Technology |
Hydrogen production |
|
Objectives |
The purpose of this study is to synthesize nanocomposite fabricated from metal dichalcogenides and activated carbon derived from waste as a low-cost and efficient electrocatalyst for water splitting. |
||
|
Contents |
In this study, metal dichalcogenides decorated porous carbon composite will be synthesized from the fruit peel. This fruit peel results in a significant amount of organic waste/biowaste. Thus the main aim of this work is focused on the possible reuse of biowaste/food waste by an inexpensive method. Growing global biowaste is a significant impact on environmental issues. Already various bio-sources were used for the preparation of carbon materials. All plant sources consist of polyphenols, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, dietary fibers, chlorophylls, carotenoids, antioxidants, etc. Therefore, here the fruit peel would be used as a carbon source to synthesize activated carbon and nano-electrocatalyst composite. The synthesized electrocatalysts will be well characterized by standard surface analytical tools. The electrochemical activity of prepared electrocatalysts will be tested for the hydrogen evolution reaction. It is expected that a large specific surface area and multi-heteroatoms doped waste-derived activated carbon are beneficial for the enhanced dispersion and intimate contact of metal dichalcogenides with carbon frameworks to enhance catalytic activity metal dichalcogenides nanoparticles. |

|
Expected Outputs |
The obtained results would show that the synthesized nanocomposites will be a potential candidate as an electrocatalyst for hydrogen production with a green way. Moreover, this investigation throws light on the mere future for more possibilities to transform solid biowaste into environmentally friendly energy conversion applications. The results attained from this study would be published for thesis. In addition, the facile synthesis of hybrid materials is expected to be utilized for the development of effective and low-cost electrocatalysts in the future. |
