In this work, the influence of supporting electrolytes (sodium sulfate and sodium chloride) on the electrochemical oxidation of the antihypertensive drug losartan (LOS) was studied under different operating conditions such as current density (4.1-12.5 mA cm-2), electrolyte concentration (0.05-0.5 M), initial pollutant concentration (250-1000 mu g L...
The Daniell cell (Cu vs. Zn), was invented almost two centuries ago, but has been set aside due to its non-rechargeable nature and limited energy density. However, these cells are exceptionally sustainable because they do not require rare earth elements, are aqueous and easy to recycle. This work addresses key challenges in making Daniell cells rel...

The huge amount of degraded NCM (LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2) cathode materials from spent lithium-ion batteries is arising as a serious environmental issue as well as a severe waste of metal resources, and therefore, direct recycling of them toward usable electrode materials again is environmentally and economically more attractive in contrast to present ...

Novel electrolyte is being pursued toward exploring Zn chemistry in zinc ion batteries. Here, a fluorine-free liquid crystal (LC) ionomer-type zinc electrolyte is presented, achieving simultaneous regulated water activity and long-range ordering of conduction channels and SEI. Distinct from water network or local ordering in current advances, long-...

Newly designed all-electrochem-active thick electrode (similar to 500 mu m) with dual-continuous integrated skeletons of defective rutile-anatase TiO2 (D-R-A-TiO2) heterojunctions and carbon have been introduced to enhance efficient electron- ion transport for high-rate energy storage, which provides a new idea for low-temperature lithium storage. ...

Ultra-thin two-dimensional (2D) silicon nanosheets (SiNSs) have potential applications in electronic, energy storage, and energy conversion devices owing to their unique properties. However, high-yield and large-scale manufacturing of high-quality ultra-thin 2D SiNSs remains a great challenge. This report describes a simple, high-yield (> 98%), and...
