Sustainable Conversion of Pomelo Peel Into Porous Activated Carbon With Hierarchical Nanoarchitectonics for High‐Performance Supercapacitors

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Pomelo peel was sustainably converted into hierarchically porous activated carbon through NaHCO3‐assisted activation. The resulting renewable carbon exhibited excellent capacitive performance, demonstrating an efficient biomass valorization strategy for sustainable supercapacitor electrodes.

Ozonation as a promising approach to improve stored rice quality in Ghana

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Two species of rice pests that are responsible for postharvest losses, the rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae) and the Angoumois moth (Sitotroga cerealella), are major destructive pests responsible for paddy grain deterioration. A benchtop custom‐built model of ozone‐generating equipment from ozone generator DKM‐10GY, producing 2000 ppm

Interfacially Engineered Alginate/Hydroxyapatite Biocomposites With High Strength and Toughness

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Pre‐crosslinking alginate with Ca2+ prior to hydroxyapatite (HAP) formation reduces residual Ca2+ bridging and promotes stronger carboxylate‐hydroxyapatite interfacial interactions, yielding composites with markedly higher strength, stiffness, and toughness than those prepared by the opposite sequence.

Biodegradability study to develop longer life jute geotextiles for road applications

, 2019
To enhance the life of jute geotextiles (JGTs) for road applications, new types of JGT fabrics were developed following two different routes, viz., (a) rot-proof treatment of 100% JGT fabric and (b) preparation of jute–polypropylene blended JGT fabrics ...
