Perovskite materials are widely studied as cathode materials for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFC) for their relevant properties regarding electrocatalytic activity or stability. Nevertheless, a material that combines both it is not yet available. Among them, La1-XSrxMnO3 (LSM), La1-xSrxCo1-yFeyO3 (LSCF),...

Electro-Fenton is a promising game-changer for distributed wastewater treatments for the removal of recalcitrant compounds that it is possible to find in industrial effluent and looking for a water reuse approach. This electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOPs) is able to provide fast removal of organic compounds, like dyes, due to the...

Oxidative electrochemical technologies offer an alternative solution to many environmental problems in the process industry, because electrons provide a versatile, efficient, cost-effective, easily automatable, and clean reagent. In electro-oxidation, organic pollutants can be removed by different methods: (i) Direct electrolysis: the...

Groundwater represents one of the primary freshwater sources, but their pollution is rapidly increasing, and the development of tailored processes is mandatory. In this scenario, electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) represent a promising alternative to face this issue. Their application to groundwater is limited by low...

This mini-review supplies current opinion about the most recent works, which have been carried out toward the electrochemical treatment of organic compounds spike in low conductive solution. In particular, the first section is focused on the use of a solid polymer electrolyte in order to allow current flux with a low cell voltage even in a...

The treatment of Erythrosine B, selected as a model compound, has been comparatively studied by electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) such as electro-Fenton, UVA photoelectro-Fenton and solar photoelectro-Fenton at constant current density. Experiments are performed in a one-compartment cell with a BDD anode, and a commercial...

With rising concerns about the amount of pollutant emissions generated by shipping and the consequent pressure to curb the environmental impact of shipping activities, fuel cells are expected to take an important role in ship propulsion. In particular, Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are envisaged to provide high electrical efficiency and offer...

Progressing limits on pollutant emissions force ship owners to reduce the environmental impact of their operations. Fuel cells may provide a suitable solution especially when compared with emissions from diesel engines in line with a more sustainable development in the shipping industry. This work deals with the safety issues related to the use...

Classification Society and ISO standard regulate the design of cathodic protection (CP) plans of ships and superyachts. However, due to shipyards' long experience, the hull vessel protection plans often rely on an adaptation of previous CP designs for similar ships. This simple practice could expose ships to low protection or overprotection....

Degradation of terbuthylazine can be achieved by BDD anode and solid polymer electrolyte, with negligible conversion in minor metabolites. No chemicals are needed, no sludge is produced.

Despite the remarkable reduction of carbon emissions due to COVID-19 pandemic during 2020, a reckless energy demand has compromised the 2050 agenda. In this scenario, reversible Solid Oxide Cells (rSOCs) could play a key-role due to their high fuel flexibility and versatility but there is still room for electrode stability and performance...
