Li adsorption and diffusion on the surfaces of molybdenum dichalcogenides MoX (X = S, Se, Te) monolayers for lithium-ion batteries application: a DFT study.

Context: We study some of the most high performance electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. These comprise molybdenum dichalcogenide MoX (molybdenum disulfide MoS, molybdenum diselenide MoSe, molybdenum ditelluride MoTe). The stability is studied by calculating cohesive energy and formation energy.

Kinetic control concept for the diffusion processes of paracetamol active molecules across affinity polymer membranes from acidic solutions.

Background: Paracetamol compound remains the most used pharmaceutical as an analgesic and antipyretic for pain and fever, often identified in aquatic environments. The elimination of this compound from wastewater is one of the critical operations carried out by advanced industries. Our work objective was to assess studies based on membrane processes by using two membranes, polymer inclusion membrane and grafted polymer membrane containing gluconic acid as an extractive agent for extracting and recovering paracetamol compound from aqueous solutions.
