The intrinsic properties of initially p-type doped graphene (grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD)) can be recovered by buffered oxide etch (BOE) treatment, and the dominant factor governing p-type doping is identified as the H(2)O/O(2) redox system. Semi-ionic C-F bonding prevents the reaction between the products of the H(2)O/O(2) redox system and graphene. BOE-treated graphene field effect transistors (FETs) subsequently exposed to air, became p-type doped due to recovery of the H(2)O/O(2) redox system. In comparison, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-coated graphene FETs had improved stability for maintaining the intrinsic graphene electronic properties.

In an in-depth investigation of membraneless hydrogen peroxide-based fuel cells (H2O2 FCs), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a carbon-neutral compound, is demonstrated to undergo electrochemical decomposition to produce H2O, O2, and electrical energy. The unique redox properties of H2O2 position it as a viable candidate for sustainable energy applications. The proposed membraneless design addresses the limitations of conventional fuel cells, including fabrication complexities and design challenges.

High-concentration CaO particles and gas compositions have a significant influence on NO reduction by selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) in cement precalciners. The effect of gas composition on NO reduction by SNCR with NH₃ was studied in a cement precalciner atmosphere with and without CaO at 700-1100 °C. It was found that CaO significantly lowers NO reduction efficiency between 750 °C and 1000 °C, which is attributed to the catalytic oxidation of NH₃ to NO.

Due to their redox capabilities, thiols have an important role in biological oxidative/reductive processes through the formation of disulfides or their oxidation to into sulfenic, sulfinic, or sulfonic derivatives being also relevant for specific enzyme activities. The mechanisms of these biological pathways often involve metal ion(s). In this case, deciphering metal-assisted transformation of the S-S bond is of primary interest.

The effects of gas compositions on NOx reduction and NH3 slip by selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) with NH3 were investigated in a simulated cement precalciner atmosphere. The results show that the presence of H2O improves NOx reduction and widens the reduction temperature window significantly. O2 is indispensable for reducing NOx.

Hysteresis in the current-voltage characteristics is one of the major obstacles to the implementation of organic thin-film transistors in large-area integrated circuits. The hysteresis has been correlated either extrinsically to various charge-trapping/transfer mechanisms arising from gate dielectrics or surrounding ambience or intrinsically to the polaron-bipolaron reaction in low-mobility conjugated polymer thin-film transistors. However, a comprehensive understanding essential for developing viable solutions to eliminate hysteresis is yet to be established.
