Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) pose a threat to humanity, which motivates research focused on their destruction.

This work summarizes the research progress of double perovskite oxides toward oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts and supercapacitors, which covers their synthesis, electrochemical properties, structural characterization and applications.

Filiform corrosion is the dominant underpaint corrosion form on aluminium alloys. The state of knowledge of filiform corrosion specifically on aluminium is reviewed in this article.

Surface microtopography of μNDs (roughness, area, porosity) affects coating characteristics, impacting drug delivery efficacy. Coating methods influence drug deposition efficiency on μNDs. Surface wetting, energy, and adhesion depend on the coating.

This review focuses on developments at the complex cathode–electrolyte interface (CEI) for garnet Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ (LLZO)-based all solid state batteries.

Due to exposure risks and health concerns, global limitations on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have become increasingly restrictive. Light-driven technologies can potentially destroy and detect PFAS, addressing these limitations.

A novel class of crosslinked materials known as “vitrimers” has recently bridged the real-time gap between the limitations of thermoplastics and thermoset materials for great possibilities of real-world application.

Surfaces act as reservoirs for the proliferation of microorganisms, including bacteria and viruses, that can be transmitted to individuals who come into contact with them.

This review highlights the importance of MnO₂ & biomass-derived carbon materials and composites made from them for energy storage applications.
