Hierarchical Flexible Ceramic Nanofiber Membrane for Simultaneous Membrane Distillation and Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A hierarchical flexible ceramic nanofiber membrane integrates a La‐stabilized ZrO2 scaffold with superhydrophobic UiO‐66‐NH2/CdS heterojunctions. The gas–liquid–solid interfacial architecture sustains vapor‐selective desalination, visible‐light charge separation, and rapid H2 extraction, enabling simultaneous freshwater production and photocatalytic ...

Spatial‐Compatibility‐Assisted Molecular Intercalation in MXenes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates a solvent–free NH4F–mediated route for simultaneous Al removal and molecular intercalation in MXenes. Intercalants are selected by comparing their crystallographic X, Y, and Z dimensions with the MXene interlayer spacing, establishing a spatial‐compatibility criterion that rationalizes guest–host matching and enables predictive ...

Operating and maintenance cost in seawater reverse osmosis desalination plants. Artificial neural network based model

, 2017
The implementation of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plants was key to ensure the fresh water supply in arid and coastal regions. The high operating and maintenance (O\&M) cost in these plants are an impediment.

Toward Pore‐Engineered 3D‐Printed Materials for Sorption Water Harvesting, Interfacial Evaporation, and Radiative Cooling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Water harvesting, radiative cooling, and interfacial solar evaporation are fundamentally governed by coupled heat, mass, and light transport processes. These processes are mediated by pore architecture, including pore size, connectivity, and hierarchical organization.
