Biomass Electrorefining: Electrical‐to‐Chemical Energy Relay Systems for Hydrogen‐Chemical Coproduction via Multi‐Reaction Electrocatalytic Cascades

Carbon Neutralization, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2026.
This graphical abstract illustrates an integrated electrocatalytic refining system designed for sustainable chemical and fuel production. At its core, the Biomass Oxidation Reaction (BOR) replaces conventional water oxidation at the anode. It is coupled with various cathodic reactions, such as the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER), CO2 Reduction (CO2RR)

Electrorefining of cerium: Part 2, Cerium as a surrogate for plutonium electrorefining studies

, 1992
The plutonium metal produced by the Direct Oxide Reduction Process is associated with other metallic impurities that have to be removed. The purification of plutonium is achieved using electrorefining process through a molten salt medium. The optimization of process parameters involved in electrorefining is required to make the process effective, in ...

Stirring Without Stirrers: Polymer Fouling‐Driven Mass Transport Unlocks Order‐of‐Magnitude Gain in Electrochemiluminescence

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 38, October 13, 2025.
Strategic electrode fouling enhances mass transport, primarily through electrochemically actuated lateral density gradients. Engineered fouling induces flow velocities up to 0.4 cm s⁻¹ in otherwise quiescent systems. Sub‐millimeter plastic features boost local rates by up to 290%, while micrometer‐scale arrays yield a 30% net electrolysis gain ...

Operando Characterization of Uranium Dendrite Growth in High‐Temperature Molten Salt Electrochemistry by Synchrotron X‐Ray Tomography and Diffraction

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 32, August 28, 2025.
An operando methodology combining synchrotron X‐ray micro‐computed tomography (SR‐µCT) and high‐energy X‐ray diffraction (HEXRD) investigates uranium dendrite electrodeposition in LiCl‐KCl‐UCl3 molten salt. This enabled in‐situ visualization of dendrite growth and ion diffusion dynamics.

Selective Recovery of Critical Minerals from Simulated Electronic Wastes Via Reaction‐Diffusion Coupling

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 10, May 19, 2025.
We achieve the facile separation of Fe, Dy, and Nd from model solutions of electronic waste using reaction‐diffusion coupling. Using a suite of X‐ray imaging, characterization, atomistic, and continuum simulations, we develop a predictive model for the distribution of the components in the reaction medium.

Electroplating of Wear‐ and Corrosion‐Resistant CrCoNi Medium‐Entropy Alloys beyond Hard Chromium Coatings

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 22, May 29, 2025.
The electroplating of a CrCoNi medium‐entropy alloy is achieved using a mixture of an ionic liquid and an aqueous solution containing metal salts. The CrCoNi medium‐entropy alloy thin film exhibits high wear and corrosion resistance superior to conventional hard chromium coatings. Abstract High‐entropy alloys (HEAs) and medium‐entropy alloys (MEAs) are
