Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as an energy-efficient wastewater treatment technology have attracted increasing interest in the past decade. Cathode catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) present a major challenge ...

Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) and forward osmosis (FO) are two emerging technologies with great potential for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. BES takes advantage of microbial interaction with a solid electron ...

Both microbial desalination cells (MDCs) and forwards osmosis (FO) are emerging technologies for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. However, incomplete treatment/desalination in both technologies creates challenges ...

NH3 is a highly harmful gas; when inhaled at levels that are too high for comfort, it is very dangerous to human health. One of the challenging tasks in research is developing ammonia sensors that operate at room temperature. ...

LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 with a high-voltage spinel structure is a potential cathode material for high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Y2O3 coated quasi-spheres of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 covered in graphene (LNMO-YO-G) have been ...

The depreciation of assets and safety threats because of corrosion has forced to develop eco-friendly and smarter corrosion protection strategies. In this study, natural Gum Arabic (GA) was used as a corrosion inhibitor ...

The search for highly effective corrosion protection solutions to avoid degradation of the metallic parts is enabling the development of polymeric organic coatings. Of particular relevance, polymeric nanocomposite coatings, ...

Steel-made infrastructures have been expanding at an incredible rate worldwide and are critical for the expansion and operation of countless industries. Steel is susceptible to corrosion failures, particularly in aggressive ...

pH-sensitive hydroxyapatite particles were loaded with cerium ions (Ce-HAP) and incorporated into polyolefin coatings applied on carbon steel. The Ce-modified hydroxyapatite particles were characterized by scanning electron ...

Produced water (PW) is a by-product of oil and gas operations, and its production is foreseen to increase in the upcoming years. Such an increase is justified by various entities through their projection of the expected ...
