Monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions and compost quality during olive mill waste co-composting at industrial scale: The effect of N and C sources.

Olive mill wastes (OMW) management by composting allows to obtain valuable fertilizing products, but also implies significant fluxes of greenhouse gases (GHG). For a proper OMW composting, high C- and N co-substrates are necessary, but little is known concerning their effect on GHG emissions in OMW-industrial scale composting. In this study, different co-composting agents (cattle manure (CM), poultry manure (PM), sheep manure (SM) and pig slurry solid fraction (PSSF) as N sources and olive leaves (OLW) and urban pruning residues (UPR) as bulking agents and C sources) were used for OMW composting at industrial scale.

Anion Coordination Chemistry: An Expedition Towards Designing of Functional Materials.

This review highlights important research on anion coordination chemistry for materials applications over the last decade. This field has numerous applications in various areas, such as the environment, industry, and medicine. Despite its enormous potential, real-world applicability is still pending.

Exploring the gelation and AIE properties of a tripodal acylhydrazone-based probe: turn-on Zn(II) sensing in HEPES buffer.

Two -symmetric acylhydrazone-based AIE active probes, TRI-QUI and TRI-NAP, were synthesized with different peripheral substituents. The probe containing a quinoline moiety in the periphery displayed a selective turn-on response towards Zn in HEPES buffer, with a calculated detection limit of 6.45 μM.

2D Phase Formation on 3D Perovskite: Insights from Molecular Stiffness.

Several studies have demonstrated that low-dimensional structures (., two-dimensional (2D)) associated with three-dimensional (3D) perovskite films enhance the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. Here, we aim to track the formation sites of the 2D phase on top of the 3D perovskite and to establish correlations between molecular stiffness and steric hindrance of the organic cations and their influence on the formation and crystallization of 2D/3D.

Factorial Optimization of CoCuFe-LDH/Graphene Ternary Composites as Electrocatalysts for Water Splitting.

The layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have demonstrated significant potential as non-noble-metal electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Their unique compositional and structural properties contribute to their efficiency and stability as catalysts. In this study, CoCuFe-LDH composites were grown on graphene (G) via a cost-effective and straightforward one-step hydrothermal process.
