a r t i c l e i n f o A brief overview of the literature relating to electrochemical studies and processes undertaken in supercritical fluids is presented. This review mostly concerns carbon dioxide and hydrofluorocarbons, given the accessibility of their supercritical states, and does not consider the emerging body of research in expanded phase electrochemistry.

Due to an increase of the nuclear power plant, radioactive waste is also increasing trend and due to the large amount of radioactive waste disposal costs also increase. Decontamination of soil contamination is depending on the soil characteristics and environmental factor, so single decontamination method is difficult for effective decontamination. We need innovative method to decontamination, ...

The world-wide agreement to restrict the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons has prompted recent research exploring the possibilities of replacement refrigerants, particularly those occurring naturally in the environment. One such natural refrigerant, carbon dioxide, has been shown for particular applications to have a COP which is competitive with current refrigerants. How...

High-pressure (129)Xe NMR has been used to monitor in real time the self-assembly of reverse water-in-supercritical carbon dioxide micelles in the absence of shear, without the need for sensitivity enhancement techniques such as hyperpolarization.

Supercritical fluids have different properties compared to regular fluids and could play a role as life-sustaining solvents on other worlds. Even on Earth, some bacterial species have been shown to be tolerant to supercritical fluids. The special properties of supercritical fluids, which include various types of selectivities (e.g., stereo-, regio-, and chemo-selectivity) have recently been rec...
