The effect of a binary PtNi co-catalyst supported on graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets is studied in the photo-production of hydrogen from methanol:water mixtures. The physicochemical analysis provides evidence that the carbon nitride support allows the formation of highly dispersed PtNi nanoparticles with an average composition of Pt 85 % Ni 15 %. [...]

This paper introduces the Symbiotic Performance Indicator, a novel indicator aiming to quantify the environmental benefits generated by by-product exchanges in an industrial symbiosis network. Despite the significant advancements in assessing industrial symbiosis, the lack of indicators for individual entities involved in by-product exchanges hinders a comprehensive understanding of its environmental benefits. [...]

Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) are becoming popular technologies with a plethora of applications in the environmental field. However, research on the scale-up of these systems is scarce. To understand the limiting factors of hydrogen production in microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) at pilot-scale, a 135 L MEC was operated for six months under a wide range of operational conditions: applied potential [0.

The high processing cost, poor mechanical properties and moderate performance of BiTe-based alloys used in thermoelectric devices limit the cost-effectiveness of this energy conversion technology. Towards solving these current challenges, in the present work, we detail a low temperature solution-based approach to produce BiTe-CuTe nanocomposites with improved thermoelectric performance. [...]
