Electrokinetically-delivered persulfate and pulsed direct current electric field induced transport, mixing and thermally activated in situ for remediation of PAHs contaminated soil.

Herein, we proposed and proved a novel strategy that enhanced the delivery of persulfate (PS) to soil by electrokinetics (EK), and then applying a pulsed direct current (DC) electric field thermally activated the PS in situ, and synchronously promoted PS plume mixing, contaminants-free radicals reaction and continued to replenish PS to the soil, to achieve efficient degradation of contaminants in low permeability zones. Results showed that transport rate of PS in tested soil by EK was approximately 12.3 times than diffusion.

Facile Construction of Novel 3-Dimensional Graphene/Amorphous Porous Carbon Hybrids with Enhanced Lithium Storage Properties.

Presently, porous materials have become essential to many technological applications. In this account, 3-dimensional skeleton composite materials consisting of a core-shell amorphous porous carbon/multilayer graphene are synthesized by chemical vapor deposition on Ni foam using a facile one-step growth method. The data suggest that these composites have not only outstanding electrical and mechanical properties of the multilayer graphene but also the mesoporous characteristics of the amorphous carbon.
