Spartina Invasion Boosts Sediment N-Loss, Lowers N Retention in Mangroves
Wide and rapid Spartina alterniflora invasion has threatened the sustainability of coastal wetlands of China, and has a significant impact on...
Real-Time Gas Analysis of Li-ion Battery Failure
The failure of lithium-ion batteries can be partly defined by the release of toxic and flammable gases. The composition and volume of these gases...
RF plasma sputtering in an ITER-relevant first mirror unit
Metallic first mirrors (FMs) make up important components in many of the optical diagnostic systems in the fusion reactor ITER. They are responsible...
LaNiO3-Derived Catalysts for CO2 Capture & Methane Conversion
Integrated cyclic CO2 capture and in-situ hydrogenation to CH4 on dual function materials (DFMs) has attracted increasing interest in recent years,...
Potassium Additives for Dendrite Control in Li-Ion Battery Anodes
Fast charging of present-day graphite anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is essential to effectively decrease the charging time of electric...
Organic vs. Conventional Foods: How to Distinguish Bio from Non-Bio
There is an ever-increasing need for real time and onsite detection for risk related substances (e.g. pesticides, bacteria and antibiotics) and...
Influence of plasma ionization on the elastic modulus and tribology behavior of carbon films deposited by the HiPIMS technique
Obtaining carbon films deposited by physical vapor deposition that improve the mechanical and tribological properties of a film-substrate system...
An Ammonia-powered Fuel Cell Electric Golf Cart System
Ammonia (NH3) is a carbon-free hydrogen (H2) carrier, which enables liquid-phase H2 storage and transport under mild conditions. Although the...
