Summary: Controlling thermal energy transfer at the nanoscale and thermal properties is crucial, and this study focuses on the effects on thermal conductivity arising from the nanoscale structure of nanocrystalline silicon films and suspended optomechanical nanobeams. The research uses a micro time-domain thermoreflectance method and introduces a versatile contactless characterization technique for thermal conductivity measurements. In optomechanical nanostructures, the effect of reducing thermal conductivity due to smaller grains is smaller compared to membranes, indicating a competition of surface scattering.

Summary: In this study, the switching voltage technique was used to efficiently exfoliate graphite in eutectic molten salts. The exfoliated graphene samples exhibited high production yields, low ID/IG ratios, and good electrical conductivities. Compared to constant voltage exfoliation, the switching voltage technique produced smoother graphene flakes with less agglomeration, crumbling, and wrinkling. Characterization analysis confirmed the smaller crystallite size, lower thickness, and higher quality and purity of the exfoliated graphene prepared using the switching voltage technique.

Summary: The desire to improve photocatalytic activity is increasing, especially in semiconductors. Porous photocatalysts have been synthesized to improve surface area and reduce recombination of electron-hole pairs. This paper reviews recent works on porous photocatalysts, with a focus on synthesis and fabrication methods. The topotactic transition technique is the best method for metal oxide porous photocatalysts, while self-organizing blocks are the best method for polymeric porous photocatalysts, especially for growing and fixing 1D semiconductor nanomaterials on 3D and 2D semiconductors on 2D. The hard template method allows for better control of particle shape and size, but the template removal is non-ecofriendly, making the soft template method more favorable. The etching method, on the other hand, is suitable for fabricating porous photocatalysts through a membrane by utilizing the electrical charge created by moving electrons in the electrolyte as a driving force.

Summary: The production of hydrogen from microalgae using palm kernel expeller (PKE) as feedstock was studied. A low thermal pre-treatment method using hydrolysis process was used to improve the hydrogen yield. The results showed that the maximum hydrogen yield was achieved using PKE pre-treated at 90 degrees C for 4 h, with a two-fold increase compared to untreated PKE. The release of inhibitory compounds increased significantly at 50 degrees C, and the kinetics of microalgal hydrogen production followed a zeroth order model.

Summary: Due to the high pollution of palm oil mill effluent (POME) generated as a result of the prosperous production growth of palm oil in Malaysia, there is an increasing concern for environmental conservation. To address this issue, a cutting-edge photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC) system incorporating ZnO/Zn nanorod array (NRA) photoanode, CuO/Cu cathode, and persulfate (PS) oxidant was successfully designed for the treatment of POME and simultaneous energy production. The PFC/PS system exhibited exceptional performance, achieving high COD removal efficiency, open circuit voltage, short circuit current density, and power density under optimal conditions. The stability, durability, and economic viability of the PFC system were also confirmed through recycling tests and electrical energy efficiency assessment. These findings contribute to enhancing the sustainability and economic viability of palm oil production.

Summary: This study demonstrates an effective method for the degradation of common plastic films, such as polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS), using zinc oxide (ZnO) modified by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) under direct sunlight. The incorporation of PVP reduces the particle size and extends the optical response range of the ZnO samples, leading to prominent solid phase photodegradation of the plastic films. The high surface area of ZnO-PVP improves the interaction with the plastic film texture, enhancing the charge mobility for the degradation process.
