Birzeit University Article in the Field of Iron Nanoparticles Ranked 7th in the World
ScholarGPS has ranked a paper from Birzeit University seventh in the world in terms of the number of citations among all papers published so far in the field of iron nanoparticles.
The scientific article was published in 2011 in the renowned Chemical Engineering Journal published by Elsevier under the title “Green synthesis of iron nanoparticles and their application as a Fenton-like catalyst for the degradation of aqueous cationic and anionic dyes”. The study was conducted at the university's Department of Chemistry, and also involved researchers from Turkey and Britain, where the research team from Birzeit included Dr. Talal Shahwan and students Saadia Abu Sariya and Moadh Nairat. In this study, iron nanoparticles were synthesized using green tea extract and an iron salt, and the nanomaterial was used in a laboratory study on the elimination of two common types of aqueous dyes under various conditions.
The journal has previously awarded the authors a Top Cited Paper honor certificate for the high number of citations the article has received. The article is currently among the 50 most influential articles in the history of the journal, according to the global research platform EXALY.
