Characterizing Biopolymer Electrolytes in Zinc–Air Batteries: Challenges, Best Practices, and a Robust Workflow Guiding Future Research Paths

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based gel polymer electrolytes promise sustainable, mechanically adaptable zinc–air batteries, yet their progress is constrained by inconsistent characterization. This review critically links formulation, structure, interfaces, and cell performance, identifies methodological gaps under alkaline operating conditions, and proposes application ...

Influence of Soil Characteristics on Wood Biodeterioration by Brown Rot Fungi

Applied Sciences, 2020
Soil conditions can directly influence the inoculum potential of wood decay fungi, which is likely to be a major factor in the premature failure of utility poles across Europe. The objective of our study was to assess the influence of soil pH, humic acid

Risk of Damage Inside Wooden Cultural Heritage Sites Based on Temperature, Humidity, and Airborne Fungi in South Korea

BioResources
The temperature, humidity, and indoor airborne fungi were evaluated at 24 wooden cultural heritage sites (WCHs) (5 from field surveys and 19 from previous studies). Surface contaminating fungi was present year-round in the indoor space of WCHs.

Ozone reduces fruit decay in ‘Yuluxiang’ pear during shelf life by altering surface microbial community structure

Scientia Horticulturae
‘Yuluxiang’ pear fruit are susceptible to postharvest decay when mechanically damaged. Ozone treatment effectively reduces decay and extends shelf life. To explore its effect and mechanism, we treated ‘Yuluxiang’ pear fruit with different concentrations ...

Embedding Strength of Wood Exposed to Decay Fungi

Mokuzai Gakkaishi, 2007
ASTM-D5764に準拠した面圧試験を，オオウズラタケによる強制腐朽操作を施したスギ，カラマツ，ベイマツ，スプルースの心材およびスギ辺材，ならびに含水率の異なるスギ，カラマツ，ベイマツ，スプルースの健全材に対して実施した。健全材の面圧強度は，樹種や加力方向によらず，繊維飽和点（含水率28％）以下では含水率の増加とともに直線的に低下し，繊維飽和点以上ではほぼ一定となった。その値は気乾状態の約50％であった。腐朽による強度低減はスプルース心材，スギ辺材で顕著であった。他の樹種では繊維平行方向加力では強度低減は発生しなかったが，直交方向加力ではカラマツ心材，ベイマツ心材でも強度低減が発生，腐朽10週目までに強度低減が生じていないのはスギ心材のみであった ...
