Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how cold plasma enhances the performance and efficiency of SAPO-34 membranes for separating CO and CH gases, aiming to determine its overall impact on membrane technology.
  • Results showed that treating SAPO-34 membranes with cold plasma improved their efficiency and structural integrity, making them more effective in separating gases due to factors like polarizability and strong electrostatic interactions.
  • Overall, the research suggests that cold plasma could be a valuable method for optimizing membrane technology in applications related to carbon capture and gas separation at atmospheric pressures.

Microporous crystals have emerged as highly appealing catalytic materials for the plasma catalytic synthesis of ammonia. Herein, we demonstrate that zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) can be employed as efficient catalysts for the cold plasma ammonia synthesis using an atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge reactor. We studied two prototypical ZIFs denoted as ZIF-8 and ZIF-67, with a uniform window pore aperture of 3.

The excess of mango peels is considered manufacturing waste in the sugar and juice industry. There is an increasing interest in looking for alternative ways to employ this waste to address this overload. Here, we show the efficient use of mango peels as a noncost carbon source for the synthesis of graphene.
