It has been disclosed that transmutation of the atomic nuclei of alkaline metals and the atomic nuclei of the cathode material takes place during plasma electrolysis of water. As a result, excessive quantity of gases is generated.

The bubble growth problems in both boiling and electrolysis are nondimensionalized in such a way as to make them identical. Nonuniformity of the initial temperature and the possibility of a measure of subcooling in the ambient liquid are considered. The nondimensiona/ization makes it possible to compare gas-bubble growth theory with vaporbubble growth data. Such a comparison is made for the dat...

High-throughput microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) were used to perform treatability studies on many different refinery wastewater samples all having appreciably different characteristics, which resulted in large differences in current generation. A de-oiled refinery wastewater sample from one site (DOW1) produced the best results, with 2.1±0.2 A/m(2) (maximum current density), 79% chemical ox...

A novel plasma-electrolysis method is introduced to synthesize high-quality TiO(2) nano/microspheres that exhibited excellent optical absorption covering the range from ultraviolet to infra-red. Both experimental and theoretical results show that the oxygen vacancies in the TiO(2) spheres are primarily responsible for this wide absorption.

Hydrogen gas is generated by the electrolysis of liquid ammonia which has high hydrogen capacity of 17.8 mass%. The metal amides are used as supporting electrolytes to dissolve the amide ion in liquid ammonia. The results presented here indicate that liquid ammonia is promising as an energy medium for hydrogen storage and generation.

Publisher's note. We very much regret that in the course of production the correct version of Figure 2 of this article was replaced by a figure from another article. The correct version of Figure 2 is shown below.

Catalyst-driven electrolysis of water is considered as a "cleanest" way for hydrogen production. Finding cheap and abundant catalysts is critical to the large-scale implementation of the technology. Two-dimensional metal dichalcogenides nanostructures have attracted increasing attention because of their catalytic performances in water electrolysis. In this work, we systematically investigate th...
