Yttrium doped covalent triazine frameworks as promising reversible hydrogen storage material: DFT investigations

Through Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations, we have explored the possibility of yttrium (Y) doped Triazine (Covalent Triazine Frameworks i.e., CTF-1) to be a promising material for reversible hydrogen storage. We have found that Y atom strongly bonded on Triazine surface can adsorb at the most 7H₂ molecules with an average binding energy of ?0.33 eV/H₂. This boosts the storage capacity of the system to 7.3 wt% which is well above the minimum requirement of 6.5 wt% for efficient storage of hydrogen as stipulated by the US Department of Energy (DoE). The structural integrity over and above the desorption temperature (420 K) has been entrenched through Molecular Dynamics simulations and the investigation of metal-metal clustering has been corroborated through diffusion energy barrier computation. The mechanism of interactions between Y and Triazine as well as between H₂ molecules and Y doped Triazine has been explored via analyses of the partial density of states, charge density, and Bader charge. It has been perceived that the interplay of H₂ molecules with Y on Triazine is Kubas-type of interaction. The above-mentioned analysis and outcomes make us highly optimistic that Y doped Triazine could be employed as reversible hydrogen storage material which can act as an environmentally friendly alternate fuel for transport applications.     

Cold plasma for the disinfection of industrial food-contact surfaces: An overview of current status and opportunities

Food safety is the primary goal for food and drink manufacturers. Cleaning and disinfection practices applied to the processing environment are vital to maintain this safety; yet, current approaches can incur costly downtime and the potential for microorganisms to grow and establish, if not effectively removed. For that reason, manufacturers are seeking nonthermal, online, and continuous disinfection processes to control the microbial levels within the processing environment. One such emerging technique, with great potential, is cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP). This review presents the latest advances and challenges associated with CAP-based technologies for the decontamination of surfaces and equipment found within the food-processing environment. It provides a detailed overview of the technology and a comprehensive analysis of the many CAP-based antimicrobial studies on food-contact surfaces and materials. As CAP is considered an emerging technique, many of the recent studies are still in the preliminary stages, with results obtained under widely different conditions. This lack of cohesive information and an inability to directly compare CAP systems has greatly impeded technological development. The review further explores the challenge of scaling CAP technology to meet industry needs, considering aspects such as regulatory constraints, environmental credentials, and cost of use. Finally, a discussion is presented on the future outlook for CAP technology in this area, identifying key challenges that must be addressed to promote industry uptake.     

Structure,magnetic properties and microwave absorption properties of NdFe1-xNixO3

In this paper, a high-purity NdFe_1-xNi_xO₃ perovskite-type material was prepared by a simple sol method. At the same time, adjust the substitution content of nickel to achieve the purpose of adjusting the dielectric properties and magnetic properties. According to the respective instruments, as Ni is substituted into the NdFeO₃, the crystal microstructure will change to a certain extent, and there is a certain causal relationship between the magnetic properties and the bonding. Therefore, by adding a certain amount of nickel, the dielectric properties and magnetic properties can be adjusted to a certain balance point. NdFe_1-xNi_xO₃ material has excellent microwave absorption performance. When x = 0.2, the minimum reflection loss value is ?49.32, and the corresponding impedance matching value is 1, and the effective bandwidth is 2.2 GHz when the thickness is 5.0 mm. The material that adjusts the perovskite structure by Ni element is beneficial to make the microwave absorption peak move from high frequency to low frequency, which has a wider application range and is closer to civil, commercial, military and aerospace.     

Hydrogen production performance of a photovoltaic thermal system coupled with a proton exchange membrane electrolysis cell

As one of the cleanest energies, hydrogen has attracted much attention over the past decade. Hydrogen can be produced using water electrolysis in a Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolysis Cell (PEMEC). In the present study, the performance of the PEMEC, powered by the Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT) system, is scrutinized. It is considered that the PVT system provides the required electrical power of the PEMEC and preheats the feedwater. A comprehensive numerical model of the coupled PVT-PEMEC system is developed. The model is used to investigate the effect of various operating parameters, including solar radiation intensity, inlet feedwater temperature, and feedwater mass flow rate, on the hydrogen production and operating voltage of the PEMEC at various Exchange Current Densities (ECDs). Furthermore, the effect of integration of Phase Change Material (PCM) and Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) on the hydrogen production of the system is evaluated. According to the obtained results, the PVT-TEG-PEMEC system outperforms other systems in hydrogen production. However, integration of the PVT-PEMEC system with PCM has a negligible effect on its hydrogen production.     

Facile self-assembly approach to construct a novel MXene-decorated nano-sized phase change material emulsion for thermal energy storage

In recent years, phase change material emulsions (PCMEs) with enhanced energy storage capacities and good flow characteristics have drawn significant attention. However, due to the thermodynamically unstable nature and tiny particle confinement, the nanomaterial modification strategies at PCM/water interface to improve stabilities and reduce supercooling of nano-sized PCMEs (NPCMEs) are very limited and challenging. Herein, we report a facile strategy for constructing MXene-decorated NPCME with good stability, little supercooling, and high thermal conductivity by self-assembly of MXene nanosheets at PCM/water interface. The concentrations of MXene have great influences on the average droplet diameters, stabilities, and thermophysical properties of the NPCMEs. The results show that the PCMs have been well dispersed into the water in the form of quasi-spherical droplets, with average droplet diameters of 242–805 nm. The thermal conductivity of 10 wt% n-tetradecane/water NPCME containing 9 mg ml^-1 MXene is 0.693 W m^-1·K^-1, achieving an enhancement by 15.5%, as compared to that of water. Besides, the MXene-decorated paraffin/water NPCMEs exhibit little supercooling and enhanced heat storage capacities. More importantly, this facile self-assembly strategy opens a new platform for preparing high-performance NPCMEs, which can be used as novel heat transfer fluids for thermal energy storage systems.

Influence of applied voltage and conductive material in DIET promotion for methane generation

The utilization of biological-, electrode- and conductive material-mediated direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between exoelectrogenic bacteria and methanogenic archaea for enhancing methane productivity is widely reported in the literature. However, two cardinal questions are still controversial, i.e., which applied voltage value would be more recommended to enhance methane generation? and how the DIET over IIET has the upper hand in enhancing methane productivity? Herein, the influence of different applied voltages to promote biological-, conductive- and electrode-mediated DIET was investigated in MEC-AD reactors with conductive material. Polarized bioelectrodes induced electrode-mediated DIET (eDIET) and biological DIET (bDIET), in addition to cDIET (conductive material-mediated DIET), improved the methane yield to 315.40 mL/g COD_r with an applied voltage of 0.9 V. Whereas further increase of applied voltage 1.2 V, lessened methane production efficiency due to high-voltage inhibition and adverse effect on DIET promotion. The anaerobic digestion coupled microbial electrolysis cells with optimal electric potential selectively promotes the DIET through polarized electrodes were confirmed through microbial analysis. As the contribution of DIET increased to 80%, the methane yield increased, and the substrate residue decreased, resulting in a significant improvement in methane production.
