Extreme-Wettability Textured Materials for Water Collection from Aerosols
Abstract
Creation of methods for complete and cost-effective collection of water droplets from an aerosols arising as a by-product of the low-potential heat uptake from industrial equipment is one of the key tasks of rational use of water resources contributing to the improvement of the environment near large industrial enterprises. This paper shows how the application of materials with extreme wettability and a specific surface topography in spray separators can significantly increase the water collection efficiency.

Platinum Electrodeposition from a Carbon Dioxide-Based Supercritical Electrolyte
Abstract
The electrodeposition of platinum from a carbon dioxide-based supercritical electrolyte with the addition of acetonitrile as a cosolvent and tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate has been studied for the first time. Dimethyl(1,5-cyclooctadiene)platinum has been used as a precursor. It has been demonstrated that potentiostatic electrodeposition leads to the formation of agglomerates of densely packed platinum nanoparticles rather than to a continuous film.
