Sustainable Electrochemical Synthesis of High‐Quality MXenes: Mechanistic Insights, Applications, Challenges, and Technological Prospects

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrochemical etching provides an eco‐friendly alternative to hazardous HF methods for MXene production. This approach facilitates the selective isolation of the A‐layer from MAX phases with tunable surface terminations. Controlling voltage, electrolytes, temperature, and duration enables the optimal structural integrity. Nevertheless, existing scale

Pollination, fruit set and yield of hybrid passion fruits

Makerere University Journal of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences, 1999
Passion fruits are increasingly gaining importance as fruit crops in Uganda. But yield greatly depends on numbers of flowers produced, fruit set and final numbers that survive to maturity. The above characteristics were studied on Passiflora edulis f. edulis and P. edulis f. flavicarpa Kawanda hybrid.
