Self-assembled membrane manufactured by metal-organic framework (UiO-66) coated γ-AlO for cleaning oily seawater.

In order to effectively clean oily seawater with anionic polyacrylamide (APAM), UiO-66 coated γ-AlO (UA) composites were firstly synthesized using γ-AlO as a template to induce the growth of high hydrophilic UiO-66 on its surface to form a uniform UA self-assembled membrane. The UA composites and self-assembled membrane were characterized and analyzed. Also, the membrane performance was investigated.

Highly pure green light emission of perovskite CsPbBr quantum dots and their application for green light-emitting diodes.

All-inorganic perovskite CsPbBr quantum dots (QDs) with an emission peak of around 520 nm were synthesized by a hot-injection method, and were systematically studied as green phosphor for light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Highly pure green light with an emission peak of 534 nm and a full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) about 20 nm was achieved using CsPbBr QDs and GaN LEDs. Commission Internationale Ed I'Eclairage coordinate of the fabricated green LEDs was (0.

A noncontact FMCW radar sensor for displacement measurement in structural health monitoring.

This paper investigates the Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar sensor for multi-target displacement measurement in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). The principle of three-dimensional (3-D) displacement measurement of civil infrastructures is analyzed. The requirements of high-accuracy displacement and multi-target identification for the measuring sensors are discussed.

Alkaline pretreatment and the synergic effect of water and tetralin enhances the liquefaction efficiency of bagasse.

Bagasse liquefaction (BL) in water, tetralin, and water/tetralin mixed solvents (WTMS) was investigated, and effects of tetralin content in WTMS, temperature, and alkaline pretreatment of bagasse on liquefaction efficiency were studied. At 300°C, bagasse conversion in WTMS with tetralin content higher than 50 wt% was 86-87 wt%, whereas bagasse conversion in water or tetralin was 67 wt% or 84 wt%, respectively. Because the solid conversion from liquefaction in WTMS with tetralin content higher than 50 wt% was always higher than that in water or tetralin at temperatures between 250 and 300°C, a synergic effect between water and tetralin is suggested.
