Sustainable scale resistance on a bioinspired synergistic microspine coating with a collectible liquid barrier

Abstract

Scale deposition, especially in the petroleum industry, has always been a serious issue because of its potential safety hazards and huge economic cost. However, conventional scale-resistant strategies based on mechanical...

Photothermal Mineralization of Polyolefin Microplastics via TiO2 Hierarchical Porous Layer‐Based Semiwetting Air‐Plastic‐Solid Interfaces

“…Triphase interface engineering has emerged as an effective approach to address diffusion and mass transfer challenges across various fields such as collection, [ 12 ] sensing, [ 13 ] separation, [ 14 ] and catalysis. [ 15 ] Photocatalysis at gas‐liquid‐solid interfaces has demonstrated significant potential for enhancing reaction rates and product selectivity in the reduction of gas molecules with liquid water.…”

“…However, the low solubility and diffusivity of polyolefins and oxygen in the water phase hinder their interfacial mass transfer in both systems, severely constraining the efficiency of polyolefin photomineralization.
