This work presents the potential application of organic-resistant screen-printed graphitic electrodes (SPGEs) for fuel analysis. The required analysis of the antioxidant 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol (2,6-DTBP) in biodiesel and jet fuel is demonstrated as a proof-of-concept. The screen-printing of graphite, Ag/AgCl and insulator inks on a polyester substrate (250 μm thickness) resulted in SPGEs highly compatible with liquid fuels. SPGEs were placed on a batch-injection analysis (BIA) cell, which was filled with a hydroethanolic solution containing 99% v/v ethanol and 0.1 mol L(-1) HClO4 (electrolyte). An electronic micropipette was connected to the cell to perform injections (100 μL) of sample or standard solutions. Over 200 injections can be injected continuously without replacing electrolyte and SPGE strip. Amperometric detection (+1.1 V vs. Ag/AgCl) of 2,6-DTBP provided fast (around 8 s) and precise (RSD = 0.7%, n = 12) determinations using an external calibration curve. The method was applied for the analysis of biodiesel and aviation jet fuel samples and comparable results with liquid and gas chromatographic analyses, typically required for biodiesel and jet fuel samples, were obtained. Hence, these SPGE strips are completely compatible with organic samples and their combination with the BIA cell shows great promise for routine and portable analysis of fuels and other organic liquid samples without requiring sophisticated sample treatments.

Plastic mulching film is ubiquitous in modern agriculture for its heat preservation and moisture retention functions. However, plastic mulching film waste accumulated on land results in microplastic pollution, posing potential hazards as these micro and nanoplastics can enter the food chain. Chemical upcycling of waste mulching film is an emerging strategy to realize sustainable development and circular economy.

Ladderane lipids synthesised by anammox bacteria hold significant potential for applications in jet fuel, drug delivery, and optoelectronics. Despite the widespread use of anammox bacteria in nitrogen removal from wastewater, the optimal conditions for maximising ladderane production remain unclear, limiting their broader application. To address this, we operated a fed-batch bioreactor with anammox bacteria, gradually adjusting the pH from 6.

Article Synopsis
- The pyrolysis coking of hydrocarbon fuels during cooling affects engine performance, and introducing a passivation layer with a high aspect ratio is a promising strategy.
- A dense hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) film was deposited on nickel using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) as an effective anti-coking coating.
- The study showcased that the hBN coating significantly inhibits coking by achieving coking inhibition rates of over 83% at various temperatures, highlighting its potential for improving engine reliability.
