A long-life fast charging lithium-ion energy storage device

A long cycle-life high-power energy storage device is prototyped where the fast charge capability is focused on rather than the fast discharge capability. Instead of using a supercapacitor device, the reworking and engineering of a Li-ion device is prototyped. The aim of the work...

Antibiotic-Loaded Porous Titanium Antibacterial Particle Coatings by High-Velocity Embedment into Silicone

Abstract Effective antimicrobial biomaterial surfaces are clinically beneficial as they can prevent infections caused by pathogens that are introduced during surgical procedures. Moreover, they can be advantageous for the long-term performance of medical devices. In the current s...

Synthesis and characterization of polymer networks obtained by conventional radical and RAFT copolymerization processes in supercritical carbon dioxide

Abstract The syntheses of net ‐poly((2‐hydroxyethylene methacrylate)‐ co ‐(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate)), abbreviated as net ‐poly(HEMA‐ co ‐EGDMA), by conventional (FRP) and reversible addition‐ fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical copolymerizations using supercritical...

How energy efficient is it? Making energy efficiency visible in property advertising: a content analysis of one million Australian residential listings

Residential energy efficiency plays a critical role in supporting the energy transition towards net zero. Policies aimed at the disclosure of residential energy efficiency information at the time of sale and/or lease often focus on the disclosure of home energy ratings and/or ene...

A necroptotic-to-apoptotic signaling axis underlies inflammatory bowel disease

ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition caused by altered cytokine signaling, maladaptive immunity, dysbiosis, and intestinal barrier dysfunction. Patients with IBD receive therapy to correct these imbalances and achieve remission. However, most patients...

Graphene‐Engineered Rear Interfaces Enable Efficient Flexible CZTSSe Solar Cells on Metal Foils

ABSTRACT Flexible kesterite (S,Se) (CZTSSe) solar cells on metal foils are attractive for lightweight and conformable photovoltaic applications, yet their efficiencies remain significantly lower than those of rigid devices due to severe foil‐induced rear‐interface losses during h...

TechnoeconomicViability of On-Farm Hydrogen Production:A Comparative Study of the Netherlands and Australia

Abstract Decarbonizing the energy system requires new applications for green hydrogen produced via electrolysis, especially in high-emission sectors. This study investigates the technoeconomic feasibility of off-grid on-farm hydrogen production integrated with intermittent renewa...
