A structural mechanics and energy storage difunctional supercapacitor based on a geopolymer membrane injected with a 0.5 M NaSO electrolyte and a pseudocapacitive electrode MnO is designed and assembled. The geopolymer membrane is prepared as a structural electrolyte with metakaolin and alkaline activator solution. The wide channels in the geopolymer matrix provide paths for ion movement. The MnO electrode is prepared by different hydrothermal treatments at different temperatures and times, and assembled with activated carbon and a geopolymer with different moduli to form a difunctional supercapacitor. The results show that the electrode sample annealed at 300 °C for 45 min after hydrothermal treatment at 160 °C for 24 h exhibits the best comprehensive performance. The specific capacitance of the electrode is 175.5 F g (2392.6 F m) at 1 A g, and the specific capacitance of the difunctional structure supercapacitor assembled with a geopolymer with a modulus of 1.2 and cured for 28 days is 144.12 F g (1960.0F m) at 1 A g under 15 MPa.

The carbonation reaction is essential in the global carbon cycle and in the carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. In oceans (pH 8.1) or in synthetic materials such as cement or geopolymers (pH over 12), the basic pH conditions affect the reaction rate of carbonation.

The increasing global demand for cement significantly impacts greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption, necessitating sustainable alternatives. This study investigates fresh geopolymer (GP) pastes incorporating 20 wt.% of five industrial wastes-suction dust, red mud from alumina production, electro-filter dust, and extraction sludges from food supplement production and from partially stabilized industrial waste-as potential replacements for traditional cement.

Forward Osmosis (FO) is a promising separation technology with a wide range of applications in water and wastewater treatment. FO membrane is the core of the forward osmosis process. Recently, the organic membrane has been widely used for forward osmosis applications even though inorganic membrane has excellent mechanical properties, decent chemical resistance, high durability, high porosity, and good hydrophilicity.

This is part 2 of the research on pervaporation membranes for seawater desalination based on Geo-rGO-TiO nanocomposite. The quality of the Geo-rGO-TiO pervaporation membranes (PV), as well as the suitability of the built pervaporation system, is thoroughly discussed. The four membranes described in detail in the first article were tested for their capabilities using the parameters turbidity, salinity, total suspended solids (TSS), and electrical conductivity (EC).
