Summary: There is growing interest in the use of self-rewetting mixtures for micro-scale heat transfer systems. These fluids, with increased surface tension at higher temperatures, are expected to provide enhanced evaporative cooling performance. However, the mechanism behind these improvements is not fully understood. Through studying the flow within evaporating drops of 1pentanol-water mixtures, researchers have observed three stages in the evaporation process. These stages involve the formation of a toroidal vortex, pulsating vortex, and radial outward flow.

Summary: The density, viscosity and speed of sound of trimethoxylsilane derivatives with different alcohols were measured, and the calculated excess properties were discussed based on possible molecular interactions. The results showed that the excess molar volumes can be positive or negative depending on the composition and the temperature range, and hydrogen bond fracture may play a role in the process.

Summary: The study found that incorporating long-chain alcohols in fuel can significantly reduce particulate matter mass and number, and decrease NOx emissions in stationary operation of diesel engines, but exhibit an opposite trend under WLTP cycle conditions. Noise levels appear to slightly increase, and overall, the utilization of higher alcohol/ULSD fuel blends seems to be a favorable substitute to straight ULSD fuel.

Summary: This study measured the liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for ternary systems of water + 1,6-hexanediol + 1-pentanol/ 3-methyl-1-butanol/ 2-methyl-2-butanol at different temperatures under certain pressure conditions. The distribution coefficient and separation factors for 1,6-hexanediol were calculated to evaluate the extraction effect of alcohols. The NRTL and UNIQUAC models could fit the experimental data very well, indicating their reliability in correlating the measured data.

Summary: The present paper presents data on the density, sound velocity, and specific heat capacity of the mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide + 1-butanol (DMF + BuOH) within the entire concentration range and temperature range. Thermodynamic functions and excess functions were analyzed to understand the changes in the mixture structure. The scarcity of information in the literature regarding the heat capacity of this widely used mixture also motivated this thorough examination.

Summary: In this study, alkanols were used as solvents to recover isopropanol from its aqueous solution. The extraction performance of three solvents were evaluated and compared, and 1-heptanol was found to have better performance. Regression parameters were obtained using NRTL and UNIQUAC models, and the LLE binodal curve for the ternary systems were predicted using UNIFAC and COSMO-UNIFAC models.

Summary: The mathematical representations of the modified NIBS/Redlich-Kister model by Liu et al. were carefully examined in predicting the solubility of 4-NP in binary aqueous mixtures of various alcohols. The model constants provided by Liu et al. were found to lead to large back-calculation errors in calculated mole fraction solubilities.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This study presents a novel heterojunction structure (SrTiO3/CN-TAL10.0) for enhanced photocatalytic water splitting (PWS). The incorporation of thiophenedicarboxaldehyde (TAL) through copolymerization significantly improves the photocatalytic activity of carbon nitride (CN) while maintaining its photostability performance. The optimized composition allows efficient isolation of photoinduced charge carriers and enhanced charge transport, resulting in a remarkable increase in overall photocatalytic efficiency.

Summary: Understanding the interactions between polymers and surfactants is crucial for optimizing commercial systems. This study tested the behavior of polymer-surfactant systems, revealing that they do not behave like polyelectrolytes in the presence of salt. Additionally, the structure of polymer-surfactant complexes under confinement differs from that of polyelectrolytes.

Summary: This research developed an effective approach to enhance the charging rates of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) by strategically incorporating carbon nanotube (CNT) conductivity boosters into Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) electrodes. Multi-layer architectures comprising CNT-rich and CNT-free LTO electrode layers were manufactured using a layer-by-layer spray coating method to promote charge transfer kinetics of high mass loading electrodes. The best performing multi-layer was paired with a spray-coated LiFePO4 (LFP) positive electrode, resulting in attractive power performance that outperformed conventional LTO || LFP combinations.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
