Fabrication of electrospun PVDF nanofibrous membrane for filtration of coconut inflorescence sap

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Electrospinning conditions for polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) nanofibrous membrane were optimized. The polymer solution's properties were analyzed. The developed membranes' average pore size was 478–543 nm. A fabricated membrane was used for the filtration of coconut inflorescence sap.

Heat Transfer Performance of Biphilic Surfaces With Diatomite‐Based Composite Coatings in a Closed Thermosyphon System

Heat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the thermal performance of innovative biphilic boiling surfaces designed for CPU cooling applications using a two‐phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT) system. The surfaces were fabricated by applying composite coatings—comprising epoxy resin and diatomite particles functionalized with APTES and PFOTS silanes— onto Al1050 ...

Experimental Factors and Techniques for Pool Boiling Heat Transfer Enhancement: A Critical Review

Heat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review presents a comprehensive assessment of active strategies for enhancing pool boiling heat transfer, with a focus on techniques that do not rely solely on the boiling surface modification. It examines a broad range of methodologies including fluid additives, external fields, mechanical interventions, and thermal‐geometric tuning that

Solar‐Powered Integrated Thermoelectric System for Simultaneous Electricity and Freshwater Production With Salt and Brine Recovery

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
A solar‐powered integrated thermoelectric generator only uses solar heating and seawater evaporative cooling for synergistically co‐generating electricity, freshwater, concentrated brine, and salt within a single device. It will be an important breakthrough, providing a practical zero‐carbon route in efficient water‐electricity cogeneration and ocean ...

Structural design and property regulation of organic polymers for photocatalytic synthesis of H2O2

InfoScience, EarlyView.
Photocatalytic synthesis of H2O2 offers a sustainable approach. Photocatalytic efficiency depends critically on interfacial electron transfer kinetics and spatial charge separation. Herein, we systematically analyze key factors governing photogenerated carrier dynamics and propose engineered strategies to optimize performance, thereby providing design ...
