Graphitized Biochar Derived from Agricultural Wastes Enhances Methanogenesis via Conductivity‐Driven Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work clarifies how feedstocks and their structural features promote methanogenesis, and identifies the key regulatory factors, reducing pollution to the global environment, and also helps to alleviate the energy crisis. This is the first study to systematically link feedstock lignin content, pyrolysis conditions, biochar graphitization, and DIET ...

Coupled loads analysis for Space Shuttle payloads [PDF]

open access: yes
Described here is a method for determining the transient response of, and the resultant loads in, a system exposed to predicted external forces. In this case, the system consists of four racks mounted on the inside of a space station resource node module

Co‐Sensitized Solar Cell Achieves 13.7% Efficiency with Bis‐Hexylthiophene Dyes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The authors demonstrate that the longer excited state lifetime dye in combination with a copper electrolyte produces a high photovoltage of 1.22 V, owing to retarded interfacial charge recombination. The co‐sensitized solar cell achieves efficiencies of 13.7% under full sunlight and 29.7% under LED light.
