AbstractThis work explores the use of ultrasound (US) as a means of intensifying the impregnation of apple cubes with vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin). The effect of different US power densities (90 and 200 WL−1) and treatment times (5, 10, and 15 min) was evaluated, on vitamin load, vitamin stability, and physicochemical and microstructural properties of the fruit matrix. The US enhanced the impregnation producing high cyanocobalamin content products (0.12–0.19 mg vitamin/g db.). Vitamin losses in the sonication medium due to US application were not significant. Impregnated samples exhibited higher moisture and lower soluble solids with respect to the untreated fruit. Changes in chromatic coordinates were well correlated to vitamin uptake. Only at the highest treatment intensities (200 WL−1, 10, and 15 min) was a marked softening observed, which agreed with the microstructural changes observed in fruit tissues. Results permit US-assisted impregnation to be considered a promising technology in the preparation of vitamin B12 fortified apple cubes.

AbstractVanadium bronzes have been well-demonstrated as promising cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries. However, conventional single-ion pre-intercalated V2O5 nearly reached its energy/power ceiling due to the nature of micro/electronic structures and unfavourable phase transition during Zn2+ storage processes. Here, a simple and universal in-situ anodic oxidation method of quasi-layered CaV4O9 in a tailored electrolyte was developed to introduce dual ions (Ca2+ and Zn2+) into bilayer δ-V2O5 frameworks forming crystallographic ultra-thin vanadium bronzes, Ca0.12Zn0.12V2O5·nH2O. The materials deliver transcendental maximum energy and power densities of 366 W h kg−1 (478 mA h g−1 @ 0.2 A g−1) and 6627 W kg−1 (245 mA h g−1 @ 10 A g−1), respectively, and the long cycling stability with a high specific capacity up to 205 mA h g−1 after 3000 cycles at 10 A g−1. The synergistic contributions of dual ions and Ca2+ electrolyte additives on battery performances were systematically investigated by multiple in-/ex-situ characterisations to reveal reversible structural/chemical evolutions and enhanced electrochemical kinetics, highlighting the significance of electrolyte-governed conversion reaction process. Through the computational approach, reinforced “pillar” effects, charge screening effects and regulated electronic structures derived from pre-intercalated dual ions were elucidated for contributing to boosted charge storage properties.

Soil microbial fuel cell (SMFC) is a carbon-neutral energy harvesting technology that exploits the use of electroactive bacteria naturally present in soil to directly generate electricity from organic compounds. Given the simplicity of the system design, SMFCs have great potential to be used for decentralised solutions, especially in areas where access to conventional energy sources is limited. Yet, the high cost to power ratio severely limits the translation of this technology into the market. With the aim of reducing the capital cost, in this study we explore the effect of decreasing the amounts of current collector (CC) on the performance. The results demonstrate that increasing the amount of current collector per surface area of the electrode is not a feasible way of enhancing power densities, as to increase the performance by 20% and 35%, the amount of current collector would have to be increased by 150% and 300%, respectively. This highlights the importance of economic evaluations when optimising the design of a SMFC.

GaInP-based laser power converters (LPC) structure grown by MOVPE and device chip design have been optimized for operation under high-power lasers of the green-red spectral range. Light IV curves records have shown the performance of the LPC up to 40-50 W/cm2 of incident power densities. The highest level data were obtained for 532 nm, 600 nm, and 633 nm power laser lines: 44.3%, 46.7%, and 40.6% under 13-16 W/cm2, respectively. LPC demonstrated an efficiency of more than 40% at elevated up to 40-50 W/cm2 of the incident laser power density.

Abstract Bare PbS QDs and PbS-GQDs nanocomposite were prepared by chemical methods for supercapattery application and characterized by suitable analytical techniques confirming the formation of PbS-GQDs nanocomposite. The electrochemical performance of the fabricated electrodes showed that the PbS-GQDs nanocomposite exhibited high specific capacity, energy and power densities of 577.94 C g-1 , 166.45 Wh kg-1 and 576.01 W kg-1 respectively at 2 A g-1 compared to that of bare PbS QDs. The enhanced electrochemical performance of PbS-GQDs can be associated with the conductive platform provided by synergistic effect of GQDs. The nonlinearity in charge and discharge curves confirms the supercapattery behaviour of the nanocomposite. Also, PbS-G QDs nanocomposite electrode showed highly cyclic stability compared to bare PbS QDs after 5000 cycles. The results emphasize the potential of PbS-G QDs nanocomposite as a stable active electrode material for energy storage application.

Hydrogen-powered airplanes have recently attracted a revitalized push in the aviation sector to combat CO2 emissions. However, to also reduce, or even eliminate, non-CO2 emissions and contrails, the combination of hydrogen with all-electric solutions is undoubtedly the best option to move toward the ambitious goal of climate-neutral aviation. Another important design choice is to store hydrogen cryogenically in its liquid form (LH2) to reduce space occupation compared to storage as compressed gas. However, the LH2 fuels cannot be utilized directly in fuel cells. It needs to be brought from liquid to a gas at about 350 K, where large amounts of heat must be added. Thus, a synergy can be made from this otherwise wasted cryogenic refrigeration power where superconducting machines (SCMs) and cold power electronics (CPE) are low-hanging fruits that could lead to radical space and weight reductions onboard the aircraft. These opportunities can be realized without having to pay the price, nor the volume occupation and mass needed for the cooling ability usually needed to achieve these extraordinary performances. In fact, this ground-breaking synergy makes cryogenic energy conversion relevant in a whole new way for aviation. The SCMs’ more than five times higher power densities than their conventional counterparts are exceptionally significant. This article introduces the recently proposed cryo-electric drivetrain initiatives and explores the opportunities of using direct hydrogen cooling as a potential heating solution to enhance the overall performance and scalability of zero-emission propulsion systems in future regional aircraft.
