Electrocatalytic Glycerol Conversion: A Low-Voltage Pathway to Efficient Carbon-Negative Green Hydrogen and Value-Added Chemical Production.

Electrochemical glycerol oxidation reaction (GLYOR) could be a promising way to use the abundantly available glycerol for production of value-added chemicals and fuels. Completely avoiding the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with GLYOR is an evolving strategy to reduce the overall cell potential and generate value-added chemicals and fuels on both the anode and cathode. We demonstrate the morphology-controlled palladium nanocrystals, afforded by colloidal chemistry, and their established morphology-dependent GLYOR performance.

X-ray radiation shielding and microscopic studies of flexible and moldable bandage by synthesized cerium oxide nanoparticles/MWCNTS nanocomposite for healthcare applications.

This research reports a robust method for developing advanced flexible and moldable X-ray shielding bandages by harnessing an synthesized polygonal cerium oxide nanoparticles/MWCNTs nanocomposite. The developed advanced hybrid nanocomposite was thoroughly blended with silicone rubber, namely polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to form an advanced hybrid gel which was then coated on a conventional cotton bandage to develop an advanced flexible, moldable X-ray shielding bandage. The combined effects were analyzed to determine their unique X-ray reduction properties and were very effective.

Nanostructured Co-doped BiVO for efficient and sustainable photoelectrochemical chlorine evolution from simulated sea-water.

The co-production of hydrogen and chlorine from sea-water splitting could be a potential, sustainable and attractive route by any method. However, challenges to overcome are many, and critically, the sustainability and operating potential of the electrocatalyst are important. In this work, we report on Co-doping in the BiVO (Co-BV) crystal lattice and employed the same as the photoanode; Co-BV exhibits a photocurrent of 190 μA cm at 1.
