Hydrogen energy has received widespread attention and has been intensely investigated as an ideal candidate to replace traditional fossil fuels. Among many approaches to hydrogen production, semiconductor photocatalysis is considered to be one of the most ideal methods due to its easy operation and environmental friendliness.
Industrial processes often separate compounds from each other and out of solution using energy-intensive thermal separation, which involves multiple evaporation and condensation cycles. More recently, energy-efficient nanofiltration membranes have emerged as a sustainable alternative. But even these have their downside: fossil-based polymers and toxic chemicals are needed to make them.
Acenes have attracted a great deal of interest because they feature remarkable electronic properties such as spin-polarization and magnetism in the larger members of the family.
The new OmniScan™ X3 64 flaw detector delivers improved power and performance to Olympus’ field-proven phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) product line.
A new paper posted to the preprint server Research Square in submission to the journal Environmental Science and Pollution Research has explored the use of rice husk ash as a potentially low-cost, more sustainable source of active silicon dioxide – an essential component in geopolymer production.
