Direct ocean capture: the emergence of electrochemical processes for oceanic carbon removal
This study explores the emerging development of electrochemical direct ocean capture (eDOC) as an effective negative emission technology; focusing on pH swing mechanisms, we highlight advancements in eDOC and identify key areas for future research.
Polyethylene glycol as a robust, biocompatible encapsulant for two-stage treatment of food and beverage wastewater
Polyethylene glycol beads encapsulating anaerobic microbes developed for on-site food and beverage wastewater treatment.
Reactive silver inks: a path to solar cells with 82% less silver
ITRPV silver consumption of standard low-temperature and high-temperature paste as compared to reactive silver ink. As little as 16.4 mg of silver is consumed when a busbarless cell is metallized with reactive silver ink.
Engineering a zinc anode interphasial chemistry for acidic, alkaline and non-aqueous electrolytes
By employing 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) pyrazole (TFMP) as an electrolyte additive in both aqueous and non-aqueous mediums, a versatile interphase strategy is achieved. This facilitates stable Zn anodes with improved efficiency and longer cycling life.
Electrochemical urea production using carbon dioxide and nitrate: state of the art and perspectives
The minireview highlights recent developments in designing electrocatalysts for the co-reduction of CO 2 and nitrates into urea. It also discusses advanced detection methods for intermediates and final products, as well as future research prospects.
Tuning sorbent properties to reduce the cost of direct air capture
A direct air capture (DAC) economic model that accounts for sorbent degradation is developed. Experimentally-measured parameters are then integrated to identify sorbent and process features that minimize both the DAC carbon footprint and cost.
