The Nernst effect enables the conversion of a temperature gradient into a transverse electrical voltage and provides a planar approach to thermoelectric energy conversion. Here, we report an enhanced transverse Nernst response in Pt/graphene (Gr)/Y

(GGG) heterostructures at room temperature. Systematic comparisons with Pt/TiSe
/Gr/YIG/GGG, Pt/ZrSe
/Gr/YIG/GGG, Pt/YIG/GGG, Pt/Gr/GGG, and Pt/GGG show that the pronounced interface-associated contribution requires the combined Pt/Gr/YIG architecture. The control structures further demonstrate that neither the Pt/Gr conducting channel in the absence of YIG nor direct Pt/YIG contact reproduces the enhanced response. First-principles model calculations show that the graphene-derived electronic structure is sensitive to direct Pt-Gr hybridization, interfacial separation, spacer insertion, and an imposed magnetic exchange perturbation. These findings support an interface-engineered anomalous thermoelectric response and suggest that spin-orbit-coupled interfacial band reconstruction may provide a possible microscopic pathway toward Berry-curvature-related transverse transport.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Engineering, Environmental)This study presents an in-situ, liquid phase catalytic exchange (LPCE)-based process-intensification approach for hydrogen-isotope separation in proton-exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEM-WE). Supplying water directly to the cathode enables deliberate tuning of the local isotopic composition at the catalyst surface, which in turn enhances both the separation factor and the deuterium enrichment efficiency. A chemical-equilibrium model reproduces these trends by attributing the gain to a thermodynamic shift of the LPCE toward the liquid phase at the cathode. The effectiveness of the method was validated across a wide range of initial deuterium concentrations in the anode feedwater and under high current densities, indicating its versatility. This approach offers a promising and practical strategy for efficient hydrogen isotope separation using PEM-WE.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:17.69(Engineering, Environmental)In this study, we achieved pH control (up to 7) of phosphate-based geopolymer hardened bodies by reacting metakaolinite with a mixed aqueous solution of phosphoric acid and a soluble phosphate salt. This pH control was achieved by adjusting the total amount of phosphate ions and varying the molar ratio of phosphoric acid to phosphate salt. The hardened body with a neutral pH of 6.0 displayed mechanical and spectroscopic characteristics considerably similar to those of conventional phosphoric acid geopolymer hardened bodies with a pH below 3. To evaluate its potential application as a radioactive waste solidifier, a Sr-doped hardened body with a neutral pH (using an SrCl
aqueous solution as a simulant of
Sr) was subjected to static leaching testing. The Sr-doped hardened body demonstrated high resistance to Sr leaching. Sr K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy of the Sr-doped hardened body revealed that its high Sr confinement capability was primarily due to inner-sphere complexation of Sr with the phosphate groups bridging metakaolinite particles.

被引用回数:3 パーセンタイル:33.72(Engineering, Environmental)The humidity dependence of the structure of catalyst-coated membranes in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) was investigated using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The results showed that the water volume in the ionomer linearly increases with humidity from an intermediate humidity (50% RH), reaching values similar to those observed in the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) at 80% RH. Time-resolved SANS reveals that the catalyst layer binds water more strongly than the PEM. Water distribution in the ionomers within the catalyst layers of an operating PEFC (80 degree, 80% RH) increased with the increase in the current density, affecting its PEFC performance. The behavior of the water distribution in the catalyst layers was closer to that of the water distribution in the gas diffusion layers than that in the PEM.

Thus, in this work detailed investigation was conducted on the injection of magnesium hydroxide encapsulated iron nanoparticles (nFe
@Mg(OH)
) into a 3-D bench-scale groundwater treatment system for Cr(VI) removal. Cr(VI) and total iron concentration profiles were determined for the injection of both nFe
and nFe
@Mg(OH)
into porous media. The results indicated the expected poor mobility of nFe
, which caused the accumulation of the injected mass within the injection zone and the low spreading range along the length of the aquifer. The injection of nFe
@Mg(OH)
into the groundwater treatment system for 80 consecutive cycles resulted in a clear enhancement in preventing the rapid corrosion of the iron core and around twenty percent improvement in the final Cr(VI) removal efficiency compared with that of nFe
. The injected nFe
@Mg(OH)
maintained the full Cr(VI) removal efficiency for 30 post-injection cycles. Such a promising potential of the nFe
@Mg(OH)
, proposed it as one of the perfect candidates for in-situ water treatment applications, as a reactive nanomaterial with enhanced features, in terms of the prolonged reactive performance and the widespread of the injection zone to cover a larger contaminated area within the porous media.

被引用回数:58 パーセンタイル:91.08(Engineering, Environmental)In this study, the reactive performance of magnesium hydroxide-coated iron nanoparticles was investigated for the removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions. Short- and long-term progressive-release of reactivity was evaluated through several batch tests. The Multi-functional effect of the environmentally-friendly magnesium hydroxide coating shell was represented by the progressive shell-dissolution in water and preventing the rapid corrosion of the iron core, which resulted in a controlled release of reactivity towards hexavalent chromium. Magnesium hydroxide-coated iron nanoparticles showed good performance in preserving the long-term reactivity within a wide ranges of pH and temperature. The long-term investigation of magnesium hydroxide-coated iron nanoparticles performance towards hexavalent chromium removal confirmed the progressive and maintained reactivity, represented by the continuous release of iron core electrons, to achieve full removal over 50 days reaction time, to be reported for the first time in the literature. The material showed high regeneration abilities up to 5 cycles with 1.36 times average enhancement in hexavalent chromium removal efficiency compared to that of iron. Moreover, it achieved an increase in the shelf-live longevity performance up to 30 days without any storing solution with considerable removal efficiency after 180 min reaction time.

被引用回数:256 パーセンタイル:99.06(Engineering, Environmental)A novel macrocyclic ligand of di-o-benzo-p-xylyl-28-crown-8-ether (DOBPX28C8) was prepared and successfully anchored onto the mesoporous silica for the fabrication of mesoporous hybrid adsorbent (MHA) using direct immobilization approach and serving as an efficient adsorbent for Cs removal. The high amount of K (7.69 mM) was slightly affected the Cs adsorption because the hydration radius of K is close to the Cs than that of the other cation of Na. Also the Cs adsorption efficiency was more higher even in the presence of 1,025 fold K and 1,739 fold Na, respectively. The functional group of DOBPX28C8 ligand embedded onto the mesoporous silica exhibited more conformational freedom, and the benzene ring in para position was consolidated for pai-electron orientation with expanding the ring size of DOBPX28C8 for easy capturing with high selectivity and adsorption ability towards the Cs.

腐植物質はサイズや官能基組成の点で不均質な天然有機物であり、幅広い金属イオンと結合し、動態を変化させる。本研究では、ナノメートルスケールの連続的なサイズ分画が可能な流動場分画法を用いて、腐植物質のサイズ分布に与える有機酸の影響、および、腐植物質の分子サイズに依存した金属イオンの結合量の比較を行った。通常、pH緩衝剤としてもちいられるTris, MES, MOPSの3種類の有機酸存在下でのAldrichフミン酸(PAHA)のサイズ分布を調べた結果、Tris, MESでは、それぞれ、サイズの増加と減少が見られ、MOPSでは、有機酸無しの場合と同様のサイズが得られた。これらの結果は、TrisおよびMESとの相互作用により、PAHAのサイズが変化したことを示唆する。MOPS存在下で、PAHAに結合したユーロピウムとウランのサイズ分布を調べたところ、これらの金属イオンが特定の5nmのサイズを持つPAHA分子に高い親和性を示すことが分かった。

被引用回数:264 パーセンタイル:99.03(Engineering, Environmental)A novel Schiff base ligand based nano-composite adsorbent (NCA) was prepared for the detection and removal of copper (Cu(II)) ions in wastewater samples. Upon the addition of Cu(II) ions to NCA at optimum conditions, the clear color was visible to the naked-eye in the detection system. This NCA exhibited an obvious color change from yellowish to dark green in the presence of Cu(II) ions in aqueous solution. The NCA could detect the Cu(II) ions over other foreign ions with high sensitivity and selectivity. For adsorption behaviour, influences several factors such as solution pH, contact time, concentration for Cu(II) ion adsorption was investigated by batch experiment in detail. The results showed that neutral solution pH was suitable to get optimum Cu(II) ions adsorption.

The interaction of this material with various metal ions was evaluated, and it exhibited distinct color change from whitish to green in the presence of Co(II) ions, detectable even to the naked-eye. The effects of solution pH, contact time, competing ions and initial concentration on Co(II) sorption on NCA were investigated under optimum conditions. The data also clarified that the NCA adsorbent is an efficient and eco-friendly adsorbent for Co(II) treatment. Therefore, the proposed adsorbent can be considered as a potential candidate for Co(II) ions monitoring and removal from wastewater in large-scale operations.

In this study, the organic ligand was densely anchored onto the mesoporous silica by the building-block approach as facial adsorbent, characterized and then examined for the cobalt (Co(II)) ion detection and removal from aqueous solutions. This study also examined the possibility of using facial adsorbent to remove low concentrations of Co(II) ions from water solution. The sorption isotherms fit the Langmuir sorption model well and the maximum Co(II) ion sorption capacity was 157.73 mg/g. The effective eluent of 0.20M HCl was used to elute the Co(II) from the facial adsorbent, and the adsorbent was simultaneously regenerated into the initial form after rinsing with water.

After fabrication, the ligand kept open functionality for capturing Pd(II) under optimum conditions. The adsorbent exhibited the distinct color formation after adding the Pd(II) ions both in solid and liquid states. The base metal of Cu(II) and Zn(II) did not hamper the Pd(II) sorption ability of adsorbent in the acidic pH region. Therefore, it was expected that the Pd(II) could be separated from other hard metal ions by the adsorbent. Therefore the proposed adsorbent can be considered as a potential candidate for Pd(II) capturing from waste samples.
