Anomalous thermo-osmotic conversion performance of ionic covalent-organic-framework membranes in response to charge variations

Authors of the article systematically investigated how the membrane charge populations affect permselectivity by decoupling their effects from the impact of the pore structure using a multivariate strategy for constructing covalent-organic-framework membranes. The complex interplay between pore-pore interactions in response to charge variations for ion transport across the upscaled nanoporous membranes helps explain the obtained results. This study has far-reaching implications for the rational design of ionic membranes to augment energy extraction rather than intuitively focusing on achieving high densities.

Participation of alkali and sulfur in ammonia combustion chemistry: Investigation for ammonia/solid fuel co-firing applications (open access)

Participation of alkali and sulfur in ammonia combustion chemistry: Investigation for ammonia/solid fuel co-firing applications

Article asserts that ammonia (NH3) is a promising carbon-free energy carrier. The authors used experimental characterization and modeling to study the participation of alkali and sulfur species in ammonia conversion in a post-flame environment, focusing on the characteristics of NO emissions and NH3 slip.
