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 ...

Development of secondary batteries based on abundant and inexpensive elements are vital. Amongvarious alternative choices, sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are promising because of plentiful resourcesand low costs of sodium ...

Ni-B coatings have high hardness and high wear resistance which make them suitable for automotive, aerospace, petrochemical, textile and electronics industries. Further improvement in properties (especially the corrosion ...

The duplex Nickel-Boron-Titania/Nickel (Ni-B-TiO2/Ni) coatings were deposited on mild steel by using two baths with Ni as the inner layer. TiO2 nanoparticles were incorporated into the Ni-B coatings as the outer layer by ...

Duplex Ni–P–ZrO2/Ni–P coating was electroless deposited onto stainless steel substrates. High phosphorus Ni–P coating was plated as the inner layer to improve the corrosion resistance and low phosphorus sol-enhanced Ni–P–ZrO2 ...

Ni-Co coatings are widely used due to their unique mechanical properties, high anticorrosion properties, good thermal stability and special magnetic properties. Ni-Co-xTiO2 (x = 0-20 g/L in the electrolyte) composite ...

This chapter briefly describes the challenges and developments in the field of corrosion focusing on the subject of materials science. A brief introduction was provided on corrosion damage and the importance of its prevention. ...

Nanocomposite Ni-TiO2 coatings were prepared on mild steel substrate by pulse electroplating with controlled duty cycle and frequency. A systematic study of Ni-xTiO2 coatings with different TiO2 concentrations (x50-20 g ...
