Enhanced electrosorption selectivity of phosphate using an anion-exchange resin-coated activated carbon electrode.

Regenerable methods for phosphate (P) recycling have received intense attention due to their potential environmental and economic benefits. In this study, to improve the electrosorptive removal of P in membrane capacitive deionization, an activated carbon (AC) electrode was coated with a heterogeneous anion-exchange resin layer, and named the AE-AC composite electrode. It was shown that the AE-AC electrode exhibited a good capacitive behavior for electrical double-layer charging.

Microwave Annealing for NiSiGe Schottky Junction on SiGe P-Channel.

In this paper, we demonstrated the shallow NiSiGe Schottky junction on the SiGe P-channel by using low-temperature microwave annealing. The NiSiGe/n-Si Schottky junction was formed for the Si-capped/SiGe multi-layer structure on an n-Si substrate (Si/SiGe/Si) through microwave annealing (MWA) ranging from 200 to 470 °C for 150 s in N₂ ambient. MWA has the advantage of being diffusion-less during activation, having a low-temperature process, have a lower junction leakage current, and having low sheet resistance (Rs) and contact resistivity.
