Molecular Inhibition for Selective CO2 Conversion

Electrochemical CO2 reduction presents a sustainable route to the production of chemicals and fuels. Achieving a narrow product distribution with copper catalysts is challenging and conventional material modifications offer limited control over selectivity. Here, we show that the mild cathodic potentials required to reach high currents in an alkaline gas-fed flow cell permits retention of a surface-bound thiol (4-mercaptopyridine), enabling molecule-directed selective formate generation at high reaction rates. Combined experimental and computational results showed that formate production is favoured due to the inhibition of a CO producing pathway caused by destabilising interactions with the anchored molecule. The immobilisation of molecules to inhibit specific carbon-based products therefore offers a novel approach to rationally tune the selectivity of heterogeneous catalysts.

Saluran Distribusi Pemasaran Asuransi

Product distribution is one of the marketing process's activities. Many product manufacturers do not sell to end users directly. This is due to the fact that cost distribution is typically the primary reason corporations do not sell items to end customers. The marketing channel is in charge of getting the product from the manufacturer (the insurance company) to the consumer/customer. This can overcome the owner of a product or service's isolation from the people who require it in terms of time, location, and property. This marketing channel, in reality, necessitates product marketing channel management in compliance with OJK standards. In addition, any rivalry that emerges in the marketing channel while selling insurance goods. As a result, the goal of this article is to go into detail about the marketing channels for insurance products in public marketing. Keywords: Marketing Channels, Distribution, Insurance

User Centered Design Method for Developing a Mobile-Based Product Distribution Application

Anyelir Cake And Bakery is the largest cake shop in Purwakarta which is engaged in the production of various kinds of cakes. In the process of distributing products from the central store to branch stores, they still use WhatsApp to place orders. This causes frequent discrepancies in the number of products requested and the number of products received due to an error in reading the message. In this study, a mobile-based application will be built that is able to manage order data more accurately. The development of this application uses the User Centered Design (UCD). This is a design method that focuses on user needs so that the final result of this application does not need to change user behavior when using the application. The UCD method consists of four stages, namely plan the human centered design, specify user and organizational requirements, product design solutions, and evaluate design against user requirements. In the development process, application testing was carried out to get feedback from users with good scores, namely an average of 4 (agree) and 5 (strongly agree). This shows that the application is in accordance with the needs of the user.

Green House Smart Farming Echosystem

The future of farming has been one of the most talked-about issues on world forums, with the world population increasing yearly there is a special need to develop more efficient ways to grow food and distribute them effectively. This work discusses the design and implementation of a greenhouse smart farming echo system for the cultivation and distribution of plants using mushrooms as a focused product, linking a farm environment to a business market (cultivation processes and supply chain). A greenhouse farm smartly monitored with embedded devices, a control interface for these devices, and a web platform for product distribution and consumer management platform was developed to create a unified smart agricultural echo system. The embedded system has sensors that monitor the levels of light, temperature, soil moisture and humidity and automatically open the tap to water the farm. In addition, the supply chain was designed for the distribution of farm products. The prototype was fabricated and tested. The results showed that both the electronic part and the supply chain are working as proposed.

Design of an IoT System for the Palletized Distribution Supply Chain with Model-Based Systems Engineering Tools

In recent years, Internet-of-Things technology (IoT) has been the subject of research in diverse fields of applications. IoT plays an essential role in transitioning enterprises towards a more interconnected paradigm of manufacturing, logistics, services, and business, known as Industry 4.0. This paper presents an operational concept for a system that implements IoT technology in pallets, which are used to move products along supply chains. These sensors will help us gain insight into the conditions experienced by products and unit loads. Having this capability will allow us to obtain the information necessary for better control of product distribution along the supply chain, and to design packaging that is more efficient and effective in protecting products during distribution. In this paper, we show how Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) can be leveraged to create models that capture the required system behaviors, and we address the complexity of an IoT system within the domain of packaging and logistics applications.

Probing electrolyte influence on CO2 reduction in aprotic solvents

Selective CO2 capture and electrochemical conversion is an important tool in the fight against climate change. Industrially, CO2 is captured using a variety of aprotic solvents due to their high CO2 solubility. However, most research efforts on electrochemical CO2 conversion use aqueous media and are plagued by competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) from water breakdown. Fortunately, aprotic solvents can circumvent HER; making it important to develop strategies that enable integrated CO2 capture and conversion in an aprotic solvent. However, the influence of ion solvation and solvent selection within nonaqueous electrolytes for efficient and selective CO2 reduction is unclear. In this work, we show that bulk solvation behavior within the nonaqueous electrolyte can control the CO2 reduction reaction and product distribution occurring at the catalyst-electrolyte interface. We study different TBA (tetrabutylammonium) salts in two electrolyte systems with glyme-ethers (e.g., 1,2 dimethoxyethane or DME) and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) as a low and high dielectric constant medium, respectively. Using spectroscopic tools, we quantify the fraction of ion pairs that form within the electrolyte and show how ion-pair formation is prevalent in DME electrolytes and is dependent on anion type. More importantly, we show as ion-pair formation decreases within the electrolyte, CO2 current densities increases, and a higher CO Faradaic efficiency is observed at low overpotentials. Meanwhile, in an electrolyte medium where ion-pair fraction does not change with anion type (such as in DMSO), a smaller influence of solvation was observed on CO2 current densities and product distribution. By directly coupling bulk solvation to interfacial reactions and product distribution, we showcase the importance and utility of controlling the reaction microenvironment in tuning electrocatalytic reaction pathways. Insights gained from this work will enable novel electrolyte design for efficient and selective CO2 conversion to desired fuels and chemicals
