An Experimental Study on the Effects of Pre-Chamber Geometry on the Combustion Characteristics of Ammonia/Air Mixtures Using Turbulent Jet-Post Spark Ignition Strategy

Energies
As a carbon-free fuel, ammonia faces challenges in engine applications due to its low flame propagation speed and high ignition energy. The pre-chamber turbulent jet-post spark ignition strategy (TJ-PSI) has been proven effective in accelerating the ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Ionic Precursors Transformed Into Vinyl Acetate Synthesis Catalyst via Reaction‐Driven Restructuring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that a simple physical mixture of Pd and Au ionic precursors, KOAc promoter, and SiO2 support can transform into a highly active vinyl acetate synthesis catalyst through reaction‐driven restructuring. The results highlight reaction‐induced restructuring as an innovative and sustainable catalyst design strategy.
