	abstract = {In this work, we engineered a pilot scale process for the prodn. of granulated org.- and organo-mineral fertilizers (OGF and OMF) from poultry manure.  We investigated the effects of moisture content in the manure, energy consumption during the three main stages of the process and the possibility to obtain nutrient balanced fertilizers using conventional straw drying and granulation equipment, common on the farms.  Poultry manure was dried and shredded to no less than 90\% of dry mass at 95 {\textdegree}C.  Granulation was performed via extrusion with and without mineral additives, such as diammonium phosphate (DAP) and potassium chloride (KCl).  This process was used to achieve 4-3-3 OGF, as well as tunable NPK content (4-4-2, 4-3-6 and 4-4-9) OMF.  Energy consumption as the manure dried was about 100 kWh/t of product.  This limiting step of the process suggests that the max. achievable drying of sub 10\% water currently commonly used is not necessarily economically optimal.  DAP was used to increase water-sol. phosphate concn. and was limited to 6\% of the total amt. by the emission of ammonia during the granulation process.  Addnl., the presence of hygroscopic KCl in combination with DAP resulted in significant moisture absorption and loss of the granulized pellet structural integrity after 72 h at 30 {\textdegree}C and 80\% RH.  Significant increases in yields of rapeseed and potato crops were obsd. with the 2 t/ha application of OGF or DAP/KCl enhanced OMF.  The engineered process will provide for sustainable prodn. of nutrient balanced organo-mineral fertilizers on the manure prodn. sites using conventional equipment already used for straw processing.

	abstract = {Semiconducting tin sulfide (SnS) was deposited electrochem. from electrolytes contg. Sn and S precursors and conditions optimized to maximize its performance as a photoelectrode.  Films composed of primarily orthorhombic SnS were electrodeposited on titanium substrates from electrolyte contg. 20 mM SnSO4 and 100 mM Na2S2O3 at pH 2.5.  For deposition a cathodic pulse of -1.25 V vs Ag/AgCl was applied for 2.75 s followed by a 0.25 s pulse of +0.25 V vs Ag/AgCl repeated for 30-45 min.  The films were annealed in argon at 300 {\textdegree}C for 3 h.  The addn. of SbCl3 (<5\%) to the electrolyte gave rise to doping of the SnS film with Sb which resulted in an increase in the photocurrent as well as a switch from p- to n-type semiconducting behavior in an acidified Na2S2O3 electrolyte.  Incorporation of p-type In into the films from addn. of In(NO3)3 had a smaller effect on the measured photocurrent, and at higher precursor concn. (>5\%) the dopants resulted in the formation of secondary phases of Sb and In oxides with redn. in the measured photocurrent.  This doped SnS material could potentially be used in systems for the photoelectrochem. prodn. of hydrogen and oxidn. of org. wastewater.  D. functional theory calcns. supported the exptl. obsd. cond. increase for photoelectrons as an Sb dopant induced curvature of the valence band.  These calcns. also provided an explanation to the previous exptl. work where Sb doping was used to decrease the resistivity of SnS films.  The combination of an automated electrodeposition of an earth abundant metal sulfide with the theor. calcns. to guide the synthesis is an exemplar of how to improve the efficiency of SnS-based solar energy conversion materials.

	abstract = {The oxygen evolution reaction on hydroxyl- and oxygen-terminated hematite was investigated using first-principle calcns. within a theor. electrochem. framework.  Both pristine hematite and hematite contg. oxygen vacancies were considered.  The onset potential was detd. to be 1.79 V and 2.09 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) for the pristine hydroxyl- and oxygen-terminated hematite, resp.  The presence of oxygen vacancies in the hematite surface resulted in pronounced shifts of the onset potential to 3.09 V and 1.83 V, resp.  Electrochem. oxidn. measurements conducted on thin-film hematite anodes, resulted in a measured onset potential of 1.66 V vs.  RHE.  Furthermore, the threshold potential between the hydroxyl- and oxygen-terminated hematite was detd. as a function of pH.  The results indicate that electrochem. water oxidn. on hematite occurs on the oxygen-terminated hematite, contg. oxygen vacancies. [on SciFinder(R)]},

	abstract = {The catalytic activity and hydrocarbon selectivity in electrochem. carbon dioxide (CO2) redn. on cuprous oxide (Cu2O) derived copper nanoparticles is discussed.  Cuprous oxide films with [100], [110] and [111] orientation and variable thickness were electrodeposited by redn. of copper(II) lactate on com. available copper plates.  After initiation of the electrochem. CO2 redn. by these oxide structures, the selectivity of the process largely depends on the parent Cu2O film thickness, rather than on the initial crystal orientation.  Starting with thin Cu2O films, besides CO and hydrogen, selective formation of ethylene is obsd. with very high ethylene-to-methane ratios (\~{}8 to 12).  In addn. to these products, thicker Cu2O films yield a remarkably large amt. of ethane.  Long term faradaic efficiency anal. of hydrocarbons shows no sign of deactivation of the electrodes after 5 h of continuous expt.  Online mass spectroscopy studies combined with x-ray diffraction data suggest the redn. of the Cu2O films in the presence of CO2, generating a nanoparticulate Cu morphol., prior to the prodn. of hydrogen, CO, and hydrocarbons.  Optimizing coverage, no. d. and size of the copper nanoparticles, as well as local surface pH, may allow highly selective formation of the industrially important product ethylene. [on SciFinder(R)]},

	abstract = {Ag3PO4 was synthesized by the pptn. method using three different types of phosphate salts (Na3PO4, Na2HPO4, and NaH2PO4) as a pptg. agent.  Hydrolysis of each phosphate salt gave a specific pH that affected the purity and morphol. of the prepd. Ag3PO4.  The Ag3PO4 prepd. from Na2HPO4 showed the best photocatalytic activity induced by visible light to degrade methylene blue dye.  During the photocatalytic process, Ag3PO4 decompd. and produced metallic Ag, and this evidence was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction technique and XPS.  The photocatalytic efficiency decreased with the no. of recycles used.  This Ag3PO4 photocatalyst also degraded another cationic dye, rhodamine B, but did not degrade reactive orange, an anionic dye.  The degraded products produced by the photocatalysis had lower toxicities than the untreated dyes using Chlorella vulgaris as a bioindicator. [on SciFinder(R)]},
