Nano-Sized Boron-Doped Diamond-Enabled Electrodes for Water Treatment and Chemical Sensing
Background Electrochemical sensing is a compact process used to detect chemicals in aqueous solutions (e.g., water, bodily fluids, foods). It can also be used to treat pollutants in drinking and industrial wastewaters. Electrochemical oxidation can generate hydroxyl radicals, which are effective in degrading organic contaminants in water, including...

Electro-Regeneration of PFAS-Laden and Spent Sorbents for Reuse as Sustainable Water Treatment
Background Adsorption is the main water treatment technology that is commercially used to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. These substances are in thousands of everyday products due to their high stability and chemical resistance, but are non-biodegradable and can pose risks to human health. Current adsorption techniques...

Atomic Hydrogen Provision by Cobalt Sites for Superior Ammonia Production
Background Ammonia (NH3) is a valuable compound for industrial, agricultural, and water treatment applications. The typical method for large-scale production of ammonia is the Haber-Bosch (HB) process, which uses hydrogen and nitrogen as reagents under high pressure and temperature. However, this process generates over 450 million tons of CO2 annually,...

Mechanical Flexible Electrodes for Sensing: Self-Standing Conductive Polymer-Metal Nanocomposites
Background Electrochemical sensors offer many advantages over traditional analytical instruments and are widely used in biomedical, environmental, and industrial applications. Mechanically flexible electrodes in electrochemical sensors are designed to be conformable to the surface they are placed on, and ensure better contact and adaptability to challenging...
