Abstract: A method of making a CsSnI3 perovskite thermoelectric (TE) material including mixing a fatty acid, a fatty amine, a C8-C30 hydrocarbon, and CsCO3 in a vessel to form a cesium mixture; heating the cesium mixture to a temperature of 400-450 K to form a heated mixture; dissolving SnI2 in an organophosphine to form a tin solution; mixing the tin solution and the heated mixture to form a reaction mixture; cooling the reaction mixture to form a precipitate comprising a CsSnI3 perovskite; enclosing the CsSnI3 perovskite in a chamber; pressurizing the chamber to a hydrostatic pressure of at least 0.1 GPa; and heating the chamber to a temperature of 300-1,000 K to form the CsSnI3 perovskite TE material having a ZT that is at least 0.1.

Abstract: A universal, scalable, solvent-free, one-step method for thermal annealing a stainless steel membrane to create a superhydrophilic surface. The superhydrophilic membrane itself, and methods for using it to separate oil and water in an oil and water mixture or for photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and other organic contaminants.

Abstract: An oil-water separation membrane is described. The oil-water separation membrane comprises a porous metal sheet with a photocatalyst layer on one side and a layer of nanoparticles and a surfactant on the other side. The layer of nanoparticles and surfactant create a superoleophobic and superhydrophilic coating that allows passage of an aqueous phase and rejection of an oil phase. The photocatalyst layer, combined with UV irradiation, enables degradation of organic contaminants in the aqueous phase. The oil-water separation membrane may be used as part of an oil-water separation system, and a filtered water product may be recycled through the membrane to increase the removal of organic contaminants.

Abstract: Alumina/NiO/ZnO and Alumina/ZnO are synthesized via a novel modified hydrothermal method and investigated for the desulfurization activities. Sulfur compounds such as thiophene, benzothiophene (BT) and dibenzothiophene (DBT) are tested for their removal from model diesel fuel. The prepared composite materials were examined by the means of N2-adsorption, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
