Airborne transmission of exhaled virus can rapidly spread, thereby increasing disease progression from local incidents to pandemics. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, states and local governments have enforced the use of protective masks in public and work areas to minimize the disease spread. Here, we have leveraged the function of protective face cov...

Redox-active sites present at large concentrations as part of a solid support or dissolved as molecules in fluid solutions undergo reversible self-exchange electron-transfer reactions. These processes can be monitored using a variety of techniques. Chronoamperometry and cyclic voltammetry are common techniques used to interrogate this behavior for ...

Based on dissolution/deposition chemistry, together with multielectron redox reactions, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been demonstrated as a promising energy storage system. However, the diffusion of soluble lithium polysulfide intermediates (LiPSs) to bulk electrolyte results in the fast capacity fade of a Li-S cell. How to confine the LiPS...

Desalination of seawater through solar-driven interfacial evaporation is an efficient approach to solve the freshwater resource shortage problem. However, the salt formation and crystallization during interfacial evaporation limit the long-term stability of the solar evaporator. To further improve the salt-rejecting capability of the solar evaporat...

Solar-driven evaporation is promising in oily wastewater treatment, in particular for emulsions, but conventional evaporators suffer from pore blocking by residual oil or contamination by volatile oil compounds in the condensed water. In the current research, we develop a suspended membrane evaporator integrating solar evaporation with oil-in-water...

Shuttle effect has always been a critical obstacle to the application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries for leading to unstable cycle performance and a short lifespan. To solve this problem, a particular strategy is put up to relieve shuttle effect by capturing soluble polysulfides through a three-dimensional interconnected carbon network. Due to ...
