In operando-formed interface between silver and perovskite oxide for efficient electroreduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide

Electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO₂) reduction (ECR) is a promising technology to produce valuable fuels and feedstocks from CO₂. Despite large efforts to develop ECR catalysts, the investigation of the catalytic performance and electrochemical behavior of complex metal oxides, especially perovskite oxides, is rarely...

Thermodynamic modelling of the reactions of self-healing agents and the chemical binding of aggressive ions in seawater

In this study, a new concept on self healing of cracks that the ingressive ions in the crack is chemically bound to improve the self-healing efficiency was proposed for cracked cementitious materials in a marine environment. Thermodynamic modeling was performed to determine the appropriate masses and ratio of Ca2+ and Al3+ provided by chemical...

Reactions of self-healing agents and the chemical binding of aggressive ions in sea water: Thermodynamics and kinetics

New self-healing agents that can chemically bind seawater ions invading cracked cementitious materials were proposed. The potential of self-healing and binding of seawater ions were investigated by thermodynamic modeling. It was found that CaO-NaAlO₂ and CaO-metakaolin agents can have Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻ and...
