Carbon Quantum Dots‐Decorated Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S/BiOBr S‐Scheme Heterojunction With Interfacial Bi─S Bonding as an Efficient Piezocatalyst for Aqueous Cr(VI) Reduction

ABSTRACT Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is a serious environmental problem that needs to be removed efficiently from water without the need for reagents. A two‐step hydrothermal/solvothermal method was employed to synthesize a ternary piezocatalyst of carbon quantum dots (CDs) coup...

Enhancing Asphaltene Degradation Through the Piezocatalysis Process Using Cadmium Tin Oxides Rod-Like and Cubic-Like Ceramic Nanostructures

The study focused on achieving high rates of asphaltene degradation by controlling the morphology and composition of the cadmium tin oxide (CTO) piezocatalyst. A new, fast, and clean method for asphaltene degradation was employed using the piezo-catalytic process. The performance...

Data-driven optimization of a biomass–geothermal system for power and green ammonia production

This study presents a hybrid biomass–geothermal energy system for simultaneous power generation and ammonia production. The system integrates biomass conversion via gasification or anaerobic digestion, a gas turbine cycle, a geothermal-assisted organic Rankine cycle (ORC), thermo...

Case study of intelligent thermal performance optimization for hybrid battery thermal management systems through CFD-driven surrogate modeling and multi-criteria decision analysis

Battery thermal management systems (BTMSs) play a critical role in maintaining the safety, thermal uniformity, and energy efficiency of lithium-ion battery packs operating under demanding conditions. However, the coupled thermal interactions among multiple cooling technologies an...

The Right Key, the Wrong Lock: TIGIT Checkpoint Blockade and the Road to Precision Immunotherapy

T-cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) domains (TIGIT) emerged as one of the most promising next-generation immune checkpoint targets following the success of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), programmed death-lig...
