Electrospun Bi-layer Flexible & Self-floating Membrane with Ce-doped Cu-MOF/MWCNTs and PAN for Photothermal Seawater Desalination
Scalable electrospun self-floating bi-layer membrane incorporating Ce-doped Cu-MOF and MWCNTs.
Optimized 15% PVDF content enhances interfacial synergy, achieving a surface temperature of 61.4 °C under 1-sun irradiation with an evaporation rate of 1.98 kg·m⁻²·h⁻¹.
A cost-efficient, scalable platform utilizing readily available materials, providing an optimal balance among efficiency, mechanical stability, and manufacturability for seawater desalination applications.
Sustainable MXene-based Hybrid Sensor Reinforced with CMC for Human Motion Monitoring
Sustainable MXene-based Hybrid Sensor Reinforced with CMC for Human Motion Monitoring
A novel eco-friendly hydrogel sensor has been developed by integrating guar gum, glycerol, MXene, and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) extracted from discarded towels.
The hydrogel exhibited excellent tensile strength (269 kPa), stretchability (580%), electrical conductivity (1.49 mS/cm), exceptional functionality at -56°C, self-healing, and self-adhesion capability at the optimum concentration.
The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide cytotoxicity test confirmed its compatibility for human umbilical vein endothelial cells, with cell viability of 79%.
