The cause of the Jones-Ray effect has been controversially debated for years. Ultrafine gas bubbles were employed to lessen the surface excess of the surface-active impurities adsorbing to the air/water interface of the salt solutions, which would lead to a direct shift in surface tension observable by the Wilhelmy plate method. It was concluded in this study that once the surface excess of the inevitable impurities in the salts is lessened by the introduction of ultrafine gas bubbles, which possess great air/water interfacial area, the Jones-Ray effect becomes nonobservable. Therefore, our finding hypothesized that the Jones-Ray effect might not originate from salts.

Cannabis smoke is a complex aerosol mixture, featuring characteristic monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes which are susceptible to reaction with ozone and other oxidants. These reactions form less-volatile species which can contribute to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) and ultrafine particle (UFP) formation. In this work, the reaction of ozone with cannabis smoke was observed in an environmental chamber.

The study examined the use of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/castor oil (CO) electrospun membranes, focusing on how CNCs influenced membrane properties for aerosol filtration applications. PET membranes were fabricated using 5 wt% and 10 wt% of CNCs and 2.5 wt% CO to assess its effectiveness as a compatibilizing agent, under a solution flow rate of 25.

The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) efficiency is highly dependent on the electrocatalysts microstructure and the macrostructure of the electrodes. Herein, the graphene aerogel microspheres loaded with well-dispersed ultrafine Ni/Co nanoparticles catalyst is prepared through electro-spraying, in-situ crosslinking, freeze-drying, and pyrolysis, and then is utilized to print the HER electrode via direct ink writing (DIW). The obtained graphene-based aerogel microspheres possess peculiar cabbage-like mesoporous structures which allow ready access of reaction species to active sites, optimal mass transfer, and proton diffusion within the microspheres.
