Assessment of Galvanic Corrosion in Molten Salts

SolarPACES Conference Proceedings, 2023
Molten salts are an excellent choice for thermal energy storage materials in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, yet some salts can cause corrosion of containment alloys that damage plants and increase maintenance costs.

Gallium arsenide solar cells grown at rates exceeding 300 µm h−1 by hydride vapor phase epitaxy

Nature Communications, 2019
Gallium arsenide holds record efficiency for single junction solar cells, but high production costs limit applications. Here Metaferia et al. show high quality GaAs and GaInP at rates exceeding 300 and 200 micrometers per hour by dynamic hydride vapor ...

Expression of an endoglucanase–cellobiohydrolase fusion protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yarrowia lipolytica, and Lipomyces starkeyi

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
The low secretion levels of cellobiohydrolase I (CBHI) in yeasts are one of the key barriers preventing yeast from directly degrading and utilizing lignocellulose.

A Simplified Laminar Flow Model for the Pultrusion of Glass Fiber/Polyethylene Terephthalate Commingled Yarns

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A simplified thermoplastic pultrusion model is developed to predict thermal fields in glass fiber/polyethylene terephthalate (GF/PET) composites with reduced computational cost. By combining effective material homogenization, validation against literature data, and Gaussian‐process‐based optimization, the study reveals how heating limits, pulling speed,

Energy efficiency in steam using industries in Greece

International Journal of Sustainable Energy, 2020
The industry sector in Greece is responsible for one-quarter of the overall total final energy consumption accounting for 3.8 Mtoe in 2015. Since 2007, a 29% decrease is noted due to the financial crisis.

Iron incorporation both intra- and extra-cellularly improves the yield and saccharification of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) biomass

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2021
Background Pretreatments are commonly used to facilitate the deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass to its component sugars and aromatics. Previously, we showed that iron ions can be used as co-catalysts to reduce the severity of dilute acid ...
