Main‐Chain Ion‐Pair Polybenzimidazole Membranes Enabling Reduced‐Temperature HT‐PEMFC Operation (Down to 120°C)

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Embedding imidazolium‐biphosphate ion pairs directly into the polybenzimidazole main chain simultaneously stabilizes phosphoric acid and preserves continuous proton transport pathways. Strong ion‐pair and hydrogen‐bond interactions suppress acid leaching while maintaining high conductivity, enabling stable and durable high‐temperature fuel cell ...

The dramaturgy of floods risk

Quaderni di Sociologia, 2022
Because of climate change, the basins formed by torrential rivers are under stress. Heavy rains combined with densely urbanized areas are an increasingly frequent threat. A solution are flood water detention basins to be built upstream of cities and industrial districts. However, these artificial basins are the subject of much criticism.

Capturing well integrity loss through measurements of methane and ethane emissions from surface casing vents and soils surrounding oil and gas wells

Atmospheric Environment: X
Oil and gas wells (OGWs) can leak and lead to methane (CH4), ethane, and other contaminant emissions through gas migration (GM) and surface casing vents (SCV)s.
