Molybdenum oxide catalyst for wastewater treatment studied by faradaic efficiency

Highlights Faradaic efficiency calculations to diversify between two and four-electron water oxidation. Molybdenum (VI) oxide as a promising catalyst towards two-electron water oxidation. In-situ tracking of wastewater analogue (methylene blue) concentration during electrolysis process. Abstract The measurements of gas volumes evolved during electrochemical wastewater treatment provide the information on the process faradaic efficiency. This work demonstrates […]

Social Life Cycle Assessment. Survey Part 1.

Introduction. The United Nations (UN) developed the action plan ‘Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’ at the General Assembly on September 25, 2015, which encompasses 17 integrated goals that combine three dimensions: economic, social, and environmental [1]. According to the goals of the 2030 Agenda, regulating the social and socioeconomic impacts of consumer

The Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment in the MacGhyver Project

Introduction Emerging technologies are expected to contribute to environmentally sustainable development. However, it is not known how emerging technologies could reduce environmental impacts to the same potential as a mature technology, considering the possibility of improving or replacing it [1]. In addition, in December 2019, the European Commission presented the European Green Deal to achieve

Revolutionizing Hydrogen Production with High-Throughput Microfluidic Electrolyzer: A new paradigm

Origins of Microfluidics Microfluidics is the study and manipulation of fluids in very small channels with dimensions on the order of tens to hundreds of micrometers. George M. Whitesides, often regarded as the “father of microfluidics,” suggests that the field has its origins in four key areas: molecular analysis, biodefense, molecular biology, and microelectronics1.  Microfluidics

Microfluidic Wastewater Treatment and Creation of Green Hydrogen Via Electrochemical Reactions (MacGhyver)

MacGhyver is an EU-funded project focused on advancing sustainable hydrogen production by developing a cutting-edge microfluidic electrolyzer. This groundbreaking initiative has received funding from the European Innovation Council (EIC) under the Pathfinder Challenge program. The primary goal of the project is to create an electrolyzer that can efficiently treat wastewater while simultaneously producing hydrogen, in
