Transient Rechargeable Battery with a High Lithium Transport Number Cellulosic Separator
(Wiley, 2021-08)
Transient batteries play a pivotal role in the development of fully autonomous transient devices, which are designed to degrade after a period of stable operation. Here, a new transient separator-electrolyte pair is ...
Advances, challenges, and environmental impacts in metal-air battery electrolytes
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
Efficient energy storage technologies are vital in the current efforts towards decarbonisation. Batteries, as one of the most versatile electrochemical energy storage systems, have the potential to shape the transition ...
Upcycling discarded cellulosic surgical masks into catalytically active freestanding materials
(Springer, 2022)
[EN] The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has resulted in the massive fabrication of disposable surgical masks. As the accumulation of discarded face masks represents a booming threat to the environment, here we propose a solution ...
Degradation Behavior, Biocompatibility, Electrochemical Performance, and Circularity Potential of Transient Batteries
(Wiley, 2021-06)
Transient technology seeks the development of materials, devices, or systems that undergo controlled degradation processes after a stable operation period, leaving behind harmless residues. To enable externally powered ...
Environmental Impact Assessment of Chitin Nanofibril and Nanocrystal Isolation from Fungi, Shrimp Shells, and Crab Shells
(American Chemical Society, 2022-10)
Chitin nanoparticles are responsible for the outstanding mechanical properties found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans and are finding applications in many scientific and technological fields. Following a Circular Economy ...
New chromium steel grade for creep applications
(IOP, 2022)
In this study, a novel Chromium steel grade (COIN2) is produced as a result of a new steel composition and an innovative heat treatment. This new steel grade COIN2 evolves from the P92 steel grade and other novel steel ...
Holm oak decline is determined by shifts in fine root phenotypic plasticity in response to belowground stress
(Wiley, 2022-09)
Climate change and pathogen outbreaks are the two major causes of decline in Mediterranean holm oak trees (Quercus ilex L. subsp. ballota (Desf.) Samp.). Crown-level changes in response to these stressful conditions have ...
