Surface Engineering of Cu2O Photocathodes via Facile Graphene Oxide Decoration for Improved Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting

open access: yesACS Omega, 2023
Copper oxide (Cu2O) has attracted significant interest as an efficient photocathode for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting owing to its abundance, suitable band gap, and band-edge potential. Nevertheless, a high charge recombination rate restricts its practical photoconversion efficiency and reduces the PEC water-splitting performance.

A Facile Approach to Fabricate Dual Purpose Hybrid Materials for Tissue Engineering and Water Remediation [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
AbstractCreating hybrid materials with multifunctionality and robust mechanical stability from natural resources is a challenging proposition in materials science. Here, we report the scalable synthesis of hybrid collagen scaffolds using collagen extracted from leather industry wastes and sago starch derived from agro-industry.

Engineered Biomaterials for Reducing Phosphorus and Nitrogen Levels from Downstream Water of Aquaculture Facilities

open access: yesProcesses, 2023
The United States (U.S.) has a nearly USD 17 billion seafood trade deficit annually. However, the U.S. aquaculture industry faces strict micronutrient (e.g., phosphorus and nitrogen) level mandates that negatively impact fish production, especially for the state of Idaho, which produces 70–75% of the nation’s rainbow trout.

A facile bioinspired strategy for accelerating water collection enabled by passive radiative cooling and wettability engineering

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2021
Vapor condensation and condensate collection play a crucial role in solar water desalination, which is a promising solution to the shortage of freshwater. However, the currently used condensers based on thermal conduction and/or convection cooling are limited in cooling power for vapor condensation, whilst their surface wettability requires appropriate
