Recovering superhydrophobicity in nanoscale and macroscale surface textures [PDF]

, 2019
Here, we investigate complete drying of hydrophobic cavities in order to elucidate its dependence on the size of confinement, its geometry, and the degree of hydrophobicity. Two complementary theoretical approaches are adopted: a macroscopic one based on

Destabilization of the LiBH₄–NaBH₄ Eutectic Mixture through Pore Confinement for Hydrogen Storage

Inorganics, 2023
Both LiBH4 and NaBH4 are well known for having high hydrogen contents, but also high decomposition temperatures and slow hydrogen absorption–desorption kinetics, preventing their use for hydrogen storage applications. The low melting temperature (219 °C)

Heterointerface Engineering of Bismuth Nanosheets/Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon Nanoleaves Enables High‑Performance Electrochemical Dechlorination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bismuth nanosheets integrated with nitrogen‐doped carbon nanoleaves are constructed via a 2D‐on‐2D heterointerface engineering strategy. The resulting BiNS/NCL electrode delivers high chloride adsorption capacity, fast kinetics, and stable cyclability. A built‐in electric field at the heterointerface promotes chloride electrosorption and stabilizes the

Flows of Polymer Melts through Nanopores: Experiments and Modelling

Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2013
The polymer melts flow behaviors through nanopores are investigated by using the nanoporous template wetting technique in our study. The experimental observation indicates that the meniscus rises according to a (time)1/2 law which agrees with the Lucas ...
