13+ hour, 42+ min ago   (430+ words) Accurate remaining useful life (RUL) prediction of lithium-ion batteries is critical for reliable operation of the system. The performance evolution of lithium-ion batteries shows long-range dependence and capacity regeneration. However, existing performance evolution models fail to properly consider the joint…...

1+ day, 14+ hour ago   (383+ words) This work presents an electrochemical, kinetic, and morphological study of iron electrodeposition on a glassy carbon electrode from an ammonium chloride-based electrolyte containing 0.01 M FeCl2 and 0.1 M NH4Cl at pH 6.0. Thermodynamic analysis identified [Fe(H2O)6]2+ as the predominant Fe(II) species under the investigated…...

2+ day, 15+ hour ago   (492+ words) Miniaturized spatial electric field sensors often exhibit insufficient front-end charge coupling because of their limited sensing area. To address this material-level bottleneck, KH550-functionalized graphene composite films were developed as candidate electrode materials for spatial electric-field sensing. Single-layer and multilayer graphene…...

3+ day, 12+ hour ago   (498+ words) Macadamia husk, a major by-product of the macadamia industry, represents an underutilised source of phenolic compounds with significant potential for value-added applications. This study aimed to investigate the effects of extraction methods (conventional solvent extraction, accelerated solvent extraction and ultrasonic…...

3+ day, 16+ hour ago   (394+ words) Accurate prediction of moisture transfer during drying processes remains challenging. In the present study, a progressive numerical framework was developed to investigate moisture diffusion in ethanol-pretreated beetroot by systematically incorporating increasing levels of physical complexity into Fick’s second law of…...

4+ day, 9+ hour ago   (541+ words) Vibration-based piezoelectric energy harvesting provides a potential power source for low-consumption devices; however, its prediction requires a consistent representation of localized structural properties and experimentally identified modal behavior. This study presents the structural and modal qualification of an analytical electromechanical…...

4+ day, 10+ hour ago   (445+ words) The increasing accumulation of pharmaceutical residues in water environments poses serious threats concerning environmental safety and public health, mainly due to their tenacity, continuous bio-activity, and resistance to traditional wastewater treatment processing. Although many nano-bio/chemosensor systems have been reported…...

4+ day, 13+ hour ago   (503+ words) Metal foams and nanofluids are recognized as attractive and effective heat transfer enhancement methods. This study numerically investigates forced convection heat transfer and second-law thermodynamic behavior of water and a 0.02% Cu–MXene/water hybrid nanofluid flowing through a tube partially…...

4+ day, 14+ hour ago   (440+ words) Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF) offer significant potential to enhance energy efficiency and reduce reliance on SO2 and other chemical preservatives, aligning with current sustainability and health demands. This work evaluates PEF industrial viability for wine stabilisation through a multidisciplinary pilot-scale approach…...

4+ day, 15+ hour ago   (483+ words) The moisture sorption isotherms of corn extrudates fortified with ultrafiltration (UF) concentrate derived from rose wastewater (RWW) were examined. Two formulations containing 4 g (sample S4) and 11 g (sample S11) of retentate, respectively, per 100 g of semolina were prepared and subsequently extruded. Adsorption…...
