A Sustainable Biotechnology Approach for Mineral Separation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Silver‑binding peptides are first identified through phage‐display screening, and then engineered into multifunctional and responsive peptides or proteins. These tailored biomolecules can selectively capture and aggregate silver particles or ions from complex mixtures, enabling rapid and efficient silver separation and recovery.

Seismic performance analysis of a wind turbine tower subjected to earthquake and ice actions.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Sea ice is one of the main loads acting on a wind turbine tower in areas prone to icing, and this threatens safe working life of the wind turbine tower. In our study, a simplified calculated model of ice, wind turbine tower, and water dynamic interaction

How wind speed shear and directional veer affect the power production of a megawatt-scale operational wind turbine

open access: yesWind Energy Science, 2019
. Most megawatt-scale wind turbines align themselves into the wind as defined by the wind speed at or near the center of the rotor (hub height). However, both wind speed and wind direction can change with height across the area swept by the turbine ...

Active Biopaste for Coral Reef Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Preserving coral reefs is essential. A conductive, hardening paste for coral attachment and mineral accretion technology is developed, using a bio‐based acrylate soybean oil matrix and graphene nanoplatelets. Corals are attached with and onto the conductive paste, electricity is applied, water electrolysis is induced, and calcium is deposited at the ...

Aerodynamic Force and Comprehensive Mechanical Performance of a Large Wind Turbine during a Typhoon Based on WRF/CFD Nesting

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
Compared with normal wind, typhoons may change the flow field surrounding wind turbines, thus influencing their wind-induced responses and stability. The existing typhoon theoretical model in the civil engineering field is too simplified. To address this

Wind Turbine Aerodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Wind turbine aerodynamics is one of the central subjects of wind turbine technology. To reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), the size of a single wind turbine has been increased to 12 MW at present, with further increases expected in the near future. Big wind turbines and their associated wind farms have many advantages but also challenges.

Foundations for offshore wind turbines

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2003
An important engineering challenge of today, and a vital one for the future, is to develop and harvest alternative sources of energy. This is a firm priority in the UK, with the government setting a target of 10% of electricity from renewable sources by 2010.

Triboelectric Nanogenerators Enable Multifunctional Ice Accretion, Melting, and Interfacial Fracture Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Water impacting, freezing, melting, and being mechanically removed from the designed dielectric surfaces generates a triboeletric signal that can be used to detect various icing and de‐icing scenarios. The charge transferred directly scales with the interfacial fracture mechanism, further validating triboelectricity as an excellent ice‐detection ...

Durable Low‐Interfacial Toughness PDMS/SiO2 Coatings with Superior Anti‐Icing and Large‐Scale Deicing Performance in the Natural Field

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Low‐interfacial toughness PDMS/SiO2 coatings are applied to aluminum substrates and tested under natural high‐altitude conditions. The coatings demonstrate strong anti‐icing, icephobic, and large‐scale deicing performance. Field results highlight delayed freezing, reduced ice adhesion, and stable durability, offering practical insights into the use of ...
