Solar Heating Enhanced Selective Recovery of Metal Ions Through Flowing Electrodes Enabled by Hybrid Carbon Nanostructures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A new electrochemical system based on a microporous hybrid of carbon nanoplatelets and nanotubes to selectively capture Ni2+ from wastewater is constructed. The system temperature rises rapidly when irradiated with sunlight, which enhances the Ni2+ removal rate by 250% and the selectivity by 53%, and the energy consumption is also reduced by 51 ...

Engineering Charge Heterogeneity in COF/Graphene Hydrogels for Salt‐Resistant Solar Evaporation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hetero‐charged COF/graphene hydrogel (HCG‐1) with spatially separated cationic and anionic domains is engineered to achieve salt‐resistant solar evaporation. This unique charge architecture regulates Na⁺ and Cl− distribution, promotes intermediate‐water formation and effectively suppresses salt crystallization, enabling stable solar evaporation in ...

Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP): an overlooked factor in the process of biofilm formation in aquatic environments [PDF]

, 2007
We hypothesize that transparent exopolymer particles (TEP), present in high concentrations in most sea and freshwaters, are critical agents for biofilm initiation and development in many natural and anthropogenic aquatic environments.
