CONSPECTUS: The total world energy demand is predicted to rise significantly over the next few decades, primarily driven by continuous growth of developing world. With rapid depletion nonrenewable traditional fossil fuels, which currently account for almost 86% worldwide output, search viable alternative resources becoming more important from a national security and economic development standpoint. Nuclear energy, an emission-free, high-energy-density source produced means controlled nuclear...

Abstract Low‐cost renewable lignin has been used as a precursor to produce porous carbons. However, date, it not easy obtain high surface area carbon without activation processes or templating agents. Here, we demonstrate that low molecular weight yields highly with more graphitization through direct carbonization additional We found and oxygen consumption during are critical factors area, graphitized This from low‐cost sources is good candidate for supercapacitor electrode materials.

Adsorption isotherms of pure gases present in flue gas including CO2, N2, SO2, NO, H2S, and water were studied using prussian blues chemical formula M3[Co(CN)6]2·nH2O (M = Co, Zn) an HPVA-100 volumetric analyzer other spectroscopic methods. All the samples characterized, microporous nature was BET isotherm. These materials adsorbed 8−10 wt % CO2 at room temperature 1 bar pressure with heats adsorption ranging from 200 to 300 Btu/lb which is lower than monoethanolamine (750 CO2) same mass...

Sealing of wellbores in geothermal and tight oil/gas reservoirs by filling the annulus with cement is a well-established practice. Failure as result physical and/or chemical stress common problem serious environmental financial consequences. Numerous alternative blends have been proposed for oil gas industry. Most these possess poor mechanical properties, or are not designed to work high temperature environments. This reports on novel polymer-cement composite remarkable self-healing ability...
