Solar-driven interfacial evaporation technology is regarded as a promising strategy for global freshwater shortage owing to its green and sustainable desalination process. Graphene aerogel (GA) is widely utilized in the design of solar-driven steam generation systems due to its excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and broad spectral absorption. Given the significant impact of hydrophilicity and thermal insulation on the performance of evaporators, nitrogen doping in the graphene structure not only effectively enhances its wettability but also allows for moderate tuning of its thermal conductivity, thereby optimizing the overall performance of the evaporator.

Epididymal bull sperm selection by Percoll® density-gradient centrifugation prior to conventional or ultra-rapid freezing enhances post-thaw sperm quality.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of Percoll® density gradient centrifugation (Percoll-DGC) for selecting bull epididymal sperm prior to conventional slow (CS) or ultra-rapid (UR) freezing and its effects on sperm quality. Fifteen pooled samples from 30 epididymides (2 different samples/pool) of 15 bulls were split into two aliquots assigned to either CS or UR freezing. Samples were either selected using Percoll-DGC (40/80 %) or left non-selected (control), resulting in four pre-freezing treatments: Percoll-CS, Control-CS, Percoll-UR, and Control-UR.

Herein, using 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and 4,4',4″-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl) tris(1,1'-biphenyl) trianiline (Ttba) as ligands, nitrogen-rich triazine unit-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with a suitable pore size, named TpTtba-COFs, were synthesized, and they were employed as adsorbents for the extraction and detection of three bisphenols (BPs)-BP A (BPA), BP B (BPB), and BP S (BPS)-in water. Using 2,4,6-tris(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (Tapt) and 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene (Tapb) ligands as substitutes for Ttba, nitrogen-rich triazine unit-based COFs with a smaller pore size and nitrogen-poor triazine unit-based COFs, named TpTapt-COFs and TpTapb-COFs, respectively, were also prepared for comparison. The adsorption performances of the three COF adsorbents with regard to the three BPs were tested.

In various applications, the pore structure of a porous medium must be controlled to facilitate heat and mass transfer, which considerably influence the system performance. Freeze-casting is a versatile technique for creating aligned pores; However, because of the complexity of the associated equipment and the energy inefficiency of liquid-nitrogen-based cooling in a room-temperature environment, limits scalability for industrial applications. This study is aimed at establishing a novel freeze-casting strategy with a simple mold design combining heat-conductive and insulating materials for long-range pore alignment via directional ice growth under deep-freezing conditions, rendering it feasible for large-scale production.
