3D‐Printed Arch‐Structured Tribolayer with Conducting Polymer Coating for Enhanced Triboelectric Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
PEDOT:PSS‐coated 3DP microstructures are introduced to realize TENGs with enhanced mechanical compliance and high electrical performance. Among the investigated geometries, arch‐shaped microstructures exhibit superior fatigue resistance due to their spring‐like behavior, enabling efficient stress distribution, stable contact evolution, and sustained ...

Validation of the method for determination of plutonium isotopes in urine samples and its application in a nuclear facility at Otwock

Nukleonika, 2015
The studies aimed at determining low activities of alpha radioactive elements are widely recognized as essential for the human health, because of their high radiotoxicity in case of internal contamination.

Electronic structure of Pu and Am metals by self consistent relativistic GW

, 2011
We present the results of calculations for Pu and Am performed using an implementation of self-consistent relativistic GW method. The key feature of our scheme is to evaluate polarizability and self-energy in real space and Matsubara's time.

A Comprehensive Review of Waste‐Derived Materials for Solar Still Performance Enhancement

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solar desalination reduces energy use and produces freshwater sustainably, but its productivity is limited and cannot meet rising demand. Thus, solar desalination system improvements are sought to boost water productivity. Waste materials are abundantly available and burden the environment, making them low‐cost enhancers for solar desalination

The environmental dependence of redox energetics of PuO2 and \alpha-Pu2O3: A quantitative solution from DFT+U calculations

, 2012
We report a comprehensive density functional theory (DFT) + $U$ study of the energetics of charged and neutral oxygen defects in both PuO$_{2}$ and $\alpha$-Pu$_{2}$O$_{3}$, and present a quantitative determination of the equilibrium compositions of ...

Light‐Programmable Interfaces: From Molecular Photoswitching to Adaptive Membrane Separations

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review advances an interface‐centered framework for light‐responsive membranes, linking molecular photoswitches (azobenzene (AZO), spiropyran (SP), diarylethene (DAE), donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASA), photoacid) to integration strategies in polymeric, porous, self‐assembled, and mixed‐matrix systems.
