  • Publication number: 20240278186
    Abstract: Disclosed are a preparation method, a product and an application of a hydrophobically modified membrane based on multi-effect thermal energy conversion, the preparation method includes the steps: S1. dispersing carbon nanotubes with surfaces carboxylated in a solvent to form a dispersion; S2. applying the dispersion evenly on a PVDF membrane, and drying to form a ready-to-use membrane; S3. performing thermo-mechanical pressure treatment of the ready-to-use membrane to form a functional membrane with strong robustness; and S4. placing the functional membrane with strong robustness in an alkane solution of PDMS containing a silane coupling agent, and then taking it out for drying.

  • Publication number: 20240166987
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bioelectrode for increasing abundance of cable bacteria, including an anode, a cathode, and a partition. The anode is horizontally disposed, and the cathode is disposed perpendicular to the anode. The anode and the cathode are separated by using the partition. An objective of the present invention is to provide a method for keeping a high abundance of the cable bacteria in sediments when oxygen content of overlying water is low and even in an anaerobic environment. The method can be further performed in a self-starting manner, and has a potential application prospect in ecological remediation of sediments.
