Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is an artificial chemical of global concern due to its high environmental persistence and potential human health risk. Electrochemical methods are promising technologies for water treatment because they efficient, cheap, scalable. The electrochemical reduction PFOA one the current methodologies. This process leads defluorination carbon chain hydrogenated products. Here, we describe a mechanistic study in gold electrodes. By using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV),...

Abstract This paper presents 3D printing of piezoelectric sensors using BaTiO 3 (BTO) filler in a poly(vinylidene) fluoride (PVDF) matrix through electric situ poling during the process. Several conventional methods require complicated and time‐consuming procedures. Recently developed poling‐assisted additive manufacturing (EPAM) process paves way for filaments by incorporating polarizing processes that include mechanical stretching, heat press, field simultaneously. However, this is limited...

Electron spin polarization is identified as a promising avenue for enhancing the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which bottleneck that limits energy efficiency of water-splitting. Here, we report both ferrimagnetic (f-Fe3O4) and superparamagnetic iron oxide (s-Fe3O4) catalysts can exhibit external magnetic field (Hext)-induced OER enhancement, activity proportional to their intrinsic moment. Additionally, chirality-induced selectivity (CISS) effect was utilized in synergy with Hext get...

Abstract Nano-sized hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) is not well suited for magnetic heating via an alternating field (AMF) because it superparamagnetic—at its best, weakly ferromagnetic. However, manipulating the properties of nano-sized (i.e., saturation (Ms), remanence (Mr), and coercivity (Hc)) can make them useful nanomedicine hyperthermia) nanoelectronics data storage). Herein we study effects size, shape, crystallinity on nanoparticles to experimentally determine most crucial variable leading...
