Summary: In this study, cubic ternary metal oxides NiCo4MnO8.5 were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method for enhanced symmetrical capacitive deionization. Electrochemical measurements showed that the Ni-Co-Mn-O electrode had low internal resistance and ion diffusion impedance, leading to improved salt removal capacity and stable charge efficiency. After 20 cycles, the capacitance retention was 64.27%, attributed to the irreversible changes in metal oxidation states and the release of Ni3+ ions from the electrode.

Summary: This study reveals that the rate-limiting step in flow electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI) desalination is the electron transfer between the powdered activated carbon (PAC) and the current collector on the anode side. The desalination performance of FCDI significantly decreases when PAC with weak electron transfer ability is used as a flow electrode. The study demonstrates that increasing the graphitization degree of PAC improves its electron transfer capacity and enhances the desalination performance of FCDI.

Summary: This research investigates the effects of tilted channel configurations of CDI cells on desalination performance. The findings show that the titled convergent channels exhibit a higher average salt adsorption rate (ASAR) compared to regular straight geometries. The ASAR is 20% higher for convergent spacers with a slight slope of 1.5 degrees, and this gain increases with larger slope angles. The spacer geometry also affects the location of initial adsorption and the behavior during electrode starvation, offering insights into optimizing CDI performance.

Summary: This study investigates a novel nanocomposite material, ZnTiO@PANi, as a shielding film for carbon steel alloy in acidic chloride solution. The nanocomposite exhibits excellent corrosion inhibition properties, attributed to the functionalization of ZnO-TiO2 nanoparticles with polyaniline. Various characterization techniques and electrochemical methods were used to describe the preparation, characteristics, and corrosion inhibition mechanism of the films. The results demonstrate the significance of the nanocomposite in corrosion mitigation and propose the use of non-toxic polymeric materials as shielding layers in the oilfield sectors.

Summary: Natural chitosan-based films (CS) were prepared by changing the ingredient combinations of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), lithium oxide (Li2O), and graphene oxide (GO). The structural properties of the films were examined using XRD, FTIR, and EDX techniques. The results showed that Li2O@CS had the lowest contact angle of 70 +/- 4.6 degrees. SEM analysis revealed that the AuNPs were rod-shaped with an average length of 0.3 mm and an average width of 90 nm. The refractive index of CS was 2.142, which slightly decreased to 2.085 for AuNPs/Li2O/GO@CS. In terms of cell viability, AuNPs/Li2O/GO@CS showed a viability percentage of 98.91% for normal lung cells at a concentration of 156.25 mg/mL, while 9.77 mg/mL achieved 125.78%. Therefore, the combination of AuNPs, GO, and Li2O in the CS matrix enhances biocompatibility and has potential applications in medicine. (c) 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Summary: This study systematically investigates the effects of TiN, Ru, and RuO2 top electrodes on the ferroelectric properties of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO) films.

Summary: A Cu-deficient CuxInSe2 phase was successfully synthesized as a thin film using a two-step process. The study found that the loss of Cu in the compound resulted in changes in the chemical states and local structure of the Cu-Se-In tetrahedral networks, with a shorter In-Se bond and excessive oxidation of In ions. Furthermore, the narrowing of the bandgap was attributed to the reconstruction of the In3+ & delta; 5s orbital states, making the material suitable for photovoltaics.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
