Development of efficient, cost‐effective, and multifunctional electrocatalysts is the key focus in renewable energy research. Cobalt‐based electrocatalysts are widely used in the electrochemical HER, OER, and ORR. In this study, we report a novel multifunctional electrocatalyst composed of polyaniline (PANI) decorated with cobalt nanoclusters, synthesized via a simple solvothermal method. The uniform distribution of amorphous cobalt nanoclusters within the PANI matrix provides abundant active sites, high electrical conductivity, and high surface area, resulting in excellent trifunctional electrocatalytic activity. The Co60@PANI catalyst exhibits a high half‐wave potential of 0.74 V versus RHE and limiting current density of −4.82 mA cm −2 in 0.1 M KOH for the ORR. The catalysts also achieve low overpotentials of 292 and 320 mV at 10 mA/cm 2 for HER and OER, respectively, in 1 M KOH. This finding provides a foundation for the development of highly efficient and multifunctional electrocatalysts toward energy conversion processes.

Separation Science and Technology Philadelphia, 2026
The current research investigated the adsorption of Cr6+ from aqueous medium using gelling based-composite materials in a batch mode method. The effects of different experimental parameters, such as pH, gelling-based composite dosage, experimental times, and adsorbate concentrations with constant room temperature were studied systematically to evaluate the removal efficiency. The residual composite materials after adsorption were characterized using different instrumental techniques. The removal mechanisms of Cr6+ ions were evaluated using isotherm, kinetic, and column studies. The maximum removal capacity by treated gelling-based composite was found to be 80 mg/g at the optimum conditions of pH 6.5, exposed time of 70 min, composite dosage of 7.0 gL−1 and temperature of 30°C. The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetic model provided best results in comparison with other models. Column method is performed to know the breakthrough point with specific bed height and initial concentration of chromium solution. Regeneration studies reveal that the adsorbent can be regenerated by using different concentration of H2SO4.

The widespread use of Bakelite, polystyrene (PS), and polymethylmethacralate (PMMA) has caused significant pollution, requiring advanced recycling methods. Pyrolysis, co‐pyrolysis, and catalytic co‐pyrolysis are key for recycling these wastes, necessitating kinetic studies and specific reactor designs of their thermal degradation. Isothermal thermogravimetric analysis at 300, 350, 400, 450, and 500°C was used to study thermal degradation kinetics, based on the non‐isothermal degradation zone of Bakelite. The batch pyrolysis of discarded Bakelite and PS/PMMA–Bakelite blends was conducted at 450°C. The thermal decomposition of Bakelite and its blends increases with higher isothermal pyrolytic temperatures. The addition of PS or PMMA to Bakelite substantially accelerates its thermal decomposition. The maximum weight loss of Bakelite, PS–Bakelite, and PMMA–Bakelite are 55%, 96.75%, and 89.51% at 500°C, respectively. The kinetic analysis is crucial for designing specific reactors, utilizing the D1‐diffusion‐based method for Bakelite, with an activation energy (Ea) of 17.178 kJ/mol and Arrhenius constant (A) of 0.095 min−1. The A2‐ and A3‐Avrami–Erofeyev methods explain the isothermal degradation of PS–Bakelite and PMMA–Bakelite blends, with activation energies of 9.031 and 12.59 kJ/mol, and Arrhenius constants of 0.056 and 0.075 min−1, respectively. The co‐pyrolysis of PS–Bakelite yields the highest condensable products (66.76%) and needs the longest reaction time (320 min). The Fourier transform Infrared (FTIR) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analyses confirm the presence of alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, cycloalkenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, and oxygenated compounds in the pyrolytic oils. This study provides unique kinetic parameters and product analyses, showing effects of blending on the decomposition rates and yields valuable compounds, advancing recycling technologies.
