We propose a representation of initial adsorption kinetic constant as a function of convection in a slit flow cell device, averaged over some restricted length of a wall acting as a sensor. The complete domain from transport-control to surface reaction control is included. The intercepts with axes give access to adsorption constant and solute diffusion coefficient. It is shown that, provided the close entrance is avoided, the function for the restricted length is very close to the function for local values.

Environmental pollution, stemming from the disposal of contaminants, poses severe threats to ecosystems and human health. The emergence of a new class of pollutants, termed emerging contaminants (ECs), in soil, water, and air has raised global concerns, aligning with the UN 2030 Agenda's Sustainable Development Goals. Aerogels, three-dimensional structures with high porosity and low density, offer promise in addressing this issue.

Low-power gas sensors that can be used in IoT (Internet of Things) systems, consumer devices, and point-of-care devices will enable new applications in environmental monitoring and health protection. We fabricated a monolithic chemiresistive gas sensor by integrating a micro-lightplate with a 2D sensing material composed of single-layer graphene and monolayer-thick TiO. Applying ultraviolet (380 nm) light with quantum energy above the TiO bandgap effectively enhanced the sensor responses.

The corrosion of low-alloy steel in ethanolamine solution, simulating steam generator chemistry, is studied by in situ chronopotentiometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy combined with ex situ analysis of the obtained oxide films and model calculations. Hydrodynamic calculations of the proposed setup to study flow-assisted corrosion demonstrate that turbulent conditions are achieved. Quantum chemical calculations indicate the adsorption orientation of ethanolamine on the oxide surface.

The design and screening of low cost and high efficiency oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts is vital in the realms of fuel cells and metal-air batteries. Existing studies largely rely on the calculation of absorption free energy, a method established 20 years ago by Jens K. Nørskov.
