Conversion of biomass and plastic wastes into activated carbon with high specific surface area: a clean and promising carbon utilization strategy
Reducing CO2 emissions is an urgent requirement at present. Instead of the incineration and the landfill treatment, the conversion of biomass and plastic wastes into the activated carbon is capable of reducing CO

Cobalt carbide nanoprisms for direct production of lower olefins from syngas
Lower olefins are hydrocarbons that are widely used in the chemical industry, and can be generated from syngas by the ‘Fischer–Tropsch to olefins’ process; here, a new catalyst is described that can generate l...

Open AccessEvaluation of ablation differences in air and water for hard tissues using full-field optical coherence microscopy
To clarify the role of a natural or artificial liquid environment in the free-running infrared pulsed laser ablation of hard biological tissues, two- and three-dimensional morphologies of laser-induced craters...

Open AccessUnderwater holmium-laser-pulse-induced complete cavitation bubble movements and acoustic transients
The complete evolution of holmium-laser-pulse-induced cavitation bubble movements and acoustic transients underwater are investigated experimentally. The laser was single fiber-guided and had a 300 mJ pulse en...

Fabrication of short carbon fiber preforms coated with pyrocarbon/SiC for liquid metal infiltration
A novel method of fabricating short carbon fiber preforms was proposed for liquid metal infiltration. The preforms were shaped by wet forming and strengthened by pyrocarbon (PyC). SiC layers were prepared on c...
