Proteins in hydrothermal carbonization liquor of sewage sludge interfere with vivianite crystallization for phosphorus recovery

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) liquor of waste activated sludge generated during urban sewage biotreatment contains high concentrations of phosphate and thus is an appropriate resource for phosphorus recovery. The influence of proteins in the HTC liquor on vivianite crystallization, as a promising phosphorus recovery method, was...

Conductive Co-based metal organic framework nanostructures for excellent potassium- and lithium-ion storage: Kinetics and mechanism studies

Thanks to the low cost and earth's abundant potassium resources, potassium ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted much interest as alternative energy storage devices. However, there is still a great challenge to develop suitable anode materials for PIBs with high specific capacity, fast charge/discharge and stable ion storage. Nowadays,...
