Mass Production of Waste PVC‐Mediated Bamboo‐Derived Hard Carbon for Ultra‐Long Life Sodium Storage

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
By a scalable PVC‐mediated bifunctional strategy, pre‐carbonized micrometer bamboo powder is converted into a functionally partitioned hard carbon anode with distinct domains. Featuring abundant internal closed pores and surface sp2‐enriched graphitic regions, this anode delivers exceptional high‐rate long‐cycle stability, retaining 93% capacity after ...

Sunlight‐Driven Green Synthesis of Platinum Nanoparticles From Double‐Vacancy Halide Perovskite Precursors for Methanol Reforming

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Sunlight‐driven synthesis offers a green and energy‐efficient route to metallic nanoparticles. Here, double‐vacancy halide perovskites (Cs2PtX6, X = Cl, Br) act as photoactive precursors for the in‐situ formation of ultrasmall (< 3 nm) platinum nanoparticles under simulated sunlight at room temperature.

Ru Nanoparticle Supported by Mesoporous SiOx and Pillared Montmorillonite: Suppressing Catalyst Inhibition in Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Ru nanoparticles confined within mesoporous SiOx‐pillared montmorillonite exhibit exceptional performance for CO2 methanation. The catalyst maintains a high reaction rate even at elevated CO2 conversion while preserving high Ru mass–specific activity, overcoming typical inhibition by H2O and CO observed in conventional supported Ru catalysts.

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: Temperature‐programmed oxidation—TPO

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Temperature‐programmed oxidation (TPO) probes the oxidative capacity and redox properties of solid materials—catalysts, metal oxides, perovskites, and carbonaceous deposits. It identifies coke type, distribution, and reactivity. TPO instruments pass an oxidizing gas (diluted O2$$ {\mathrm{O}}_2 $$, air, or less commonly N2O$$ {\mathrm{N}}_2 ...

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: The scientific method versus engineering design methodology

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Engineering graduate students confuse the scientific method and problem solving when presenting their pre‐doctoral exams and theses: Science discourse adopts question and hypotheses to assert and establish a study's rationale, while it is problem and objectives in engineering design.
