Understanding the relationship between gas diffusion electrode (GDE) structures and performance of electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is crucial to developing industrial-scale technologies convert valuable products. We studied how microporous layer (MPL) on GDE's coated with silver nanoparticle catalysts affects conversion CO in a flow cell electrolyser. demonstrate convenient metho...

All-inorganic solid-state sodium-sulfur batteries (ASSBs) are promising technology for stationary energy storage due to their high safety, high energy, and abundant resources of both sodium and sulfur. However, current ASSB shows poor cycling and rate performances mainly due to the huge electrode/electrolyte interfacial resistance arising from the insufficient triple-phase contact among sulfur ...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) convert biodegradable materials into electricity, potentially contributing to an array of renewable energy production strategies tailored for specific applications. Since there are no known microorganisms that can both metabolize cellulose and transfer electrons to solid extracellular substrates, the conversion of cellulosic biomass to electricity requires a syntroph...

A miniature microbial fuel cell (mini-MFC) is described that demonstrates high output power per device cross-section (2.0 cm2) and volume (1.2 cm3). Shewanella oneidensis DSP10 in growth medium with lactate and buffered ferricyanide solutions were used as the anolyte and catholyte, respectively. Maximum power densities of 24 and 10 mW/m2 were measured using the true surface areas of reticulated...

The imaged capillary isoelectric focusing method was developed and validated for charge variant analysis of the bevacizumab innovator product its biosimilar formulations (N = 2). optimized consists of; 4 M urea, 2.0 mM iminodiacetic acid, 0.35% m/v methylcellulose, 5.0 L-arginine, 4.0% v/v carrier ampholytes (narrow-range point 5–8 8–10.5 with ratio 1:3), 60 sodium hydroxide 30 phosphoric acid ...

Quinones have been widely studied as a potential catholyte in water-based redox flow batteries (RFBs) due to their ability carry both electrons and protons aqueous solutions. The wide variety of quinones derivatives offers exciting opportunities optimize the device performance while poses theoretical challenges quantify electrochemical behavior required for molecular design. Computational scree...

The influence of characteristics of electrochemically activated aqueous processing mediums in the treatment of fur skins with different contents of fatty substances was investigated. The use of electroactive water, namely anolytes and catholytes, forgoing antiseptics or surface-active materials, helped to restore the hydration of fur skins and to remove from them soluble proteins, carbohydrates...

A microbial desalination cell (MDC) is a new approach for desalinating water based on using the electrical current generated by exoelectrogenic bacteria. Previously developed MDCs have used only one or two desalination chambers with substantial internal resistance, and used low salinity catholytes containing a buffered or acid solution. Here we show that substantially improved MDC performance c...

A microbial osmotic fuel cell (MOFC) has a forward osmosis (FO) membrane situated between the electrodes that enable desalinated water recovery along with power generation. Previous designs have required aerating the cathode chamber water, offsetting the benefits of power generation by power consumption for aeration. An air-cathode MOFC design was developed here to improve energy recovery, and ...
