Beyond Activity: The Unified Framework of the Sabatier Principle to Guide Rational Design of Durable and Active Electrocatalysts

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
In this review, a unified framework of the Sabatier principle is applied to a diverse range of catalytic and electrocatalytic systems for advanced clean energy technologies, with a particular focus on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). This approach will guide the design and development of highly active and stable catalysts for fuel cells ...

Light‐Induced Anion Translocation to Control Helical Folding in an Artificial Communication System

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Anion‐induced helical folding of an oligomer is controlled indirectly and reversibly by light through anion uptake/release by a photoresponsive receptor. Thus, a light signal is processed into a chemical signal in a communication‐type three‐component supramolecular system.

Historical landscape of immovable cultural properties in Brankovina and flood protection measures

, 2016
The attitude towards the values of cultural heritage is one of the important factors in shaping the character of a place and the character of a cultural and historical ambience. Cultural heritage plays an important role in strengthening the regional and local cultures and tradition with respect to economic and social issues, as well as with respect to ...

Application of influence diagrams to multi‐objective allocation of firefighting resources in process plants

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Identification of firefighting strategies (i.e., which endangered units to suppress or cool first) in chemical and process plants falls under the domain of multi‐objective decision‐making (MODM), where not only the safety and integrity of the affected process plant but also the safety of on‐site and off‐site vulnerable targets matter.

Design and implementation of a 3D‐printed modular distillation tower for experimental teaching in chemical engineering

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Several authors have reported the disconnection between the skills, abilities, and attitudes of graduates from STEM careers with the current needs of the labour market. In science and engineering fields, research has found the need for interdisciplinary approaches that encourage meaningful learning.

Economic and environmental implications of the development of UASB reactors in Mexico for sustainable industrial wastewater treatment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The objective of this work is to demonstrate that the inclusion of an up‐flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB reactor) within an industrial wastewater treatment plant reduces the plant's investment and operating costs compared to a system based solely on conventional complete‐mix activated sludge (CMAS), operating under the same design principles ...
