The richness of high-value bio-compounds derived from microalgae has made microalgae a promising and sustainable source of useful product. The present work starts with a review on the usage of open pond and photobioreactor in culturing various microalgae strains, followed by an in-depth evaluation on the common harvesting techniques used to collect...

It is highly desirable to develop reversible and easy-release adhesives with high bonding strength for a broad range of substrates, while the adhesion of low-surface-energy materials (e.g., polytetrafluoretyhylene, PTFE) is challenging. Herein, a substrate-independent ionogel adhesive is developed by blending an ionic liquid with the copolymer bear...

The goal of this work was to study the effect of graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) modified with ionic liquid (IL) on properties of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites. GnPs were decorated with IL or were modified in bulk directly during rubber mix preparation. The ionic liquid used was 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate (BMPFB). The te...
A measurement cell for the use of accurate conductivity measurements of corrosive ionic media is presented. Based on the concept of moving electrode electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, exceptional measurement accuracy is achieved in a large conductivity range. Extensive testing with corrosive ionic media demonstrated the robust operation of the...

The inner membranes of mitochondria contain several types of K+ channels, which modulate the membrane potential of the organelle and contribute in this way to cytoprotection and the regulation of cell death. To better study the causal relationship between K+ channel activity and physiological changes, we developed an optogenetic platform for a ligh...

Objectives α-amylases hydrolyze α-1,4 glycosidic bonds in starch. ILs used as co-solvent in different enzymatic reactions to improve activity, selectivity and stability of enzymes. In this study, fluorescence spectroscopy method was used to explain the effect of [emim][lactate] on kinetic and thermal stability of Aspergillus oryzae α-amylase. Metho...

Separation processes based on room temperature ionic liquids (RTIL) and electrochemical refining are promising strategies for the recovery of lanthanides from primary ores and electronic waste. However, they require the speciation of dissolved elements to be known with accuracy. In the present study, Eu coordination and EuIII /EuII electrochemical ...

The triphasic extraction system with two extract phases can be used to separate two materials simultaneously into each phase. In this article, a possible mutual separation of Fe(II) and Fe(III) was studied using the cyclohexane/water/ionic liquid (IL) triphasic extraction system for Fe speciation. For Fe(II) and Fe(III) extraction, 2,2'-bipyridine ...
The increasing interest in organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) for next-generation bioelectronic applications motivates the design of novel conjugated polymers with good electronic and ionic transport. Many conjugated polymers developed for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) exhibit high charge carrier mobilities but they are not suit...
