Machine learning photodynamics decode multiple singlet fission channels in pentacene crystal by Zhendong Li, Federico J. Hernández, Christian Salguero, Steven A. Lopez, Rachel Crespo-Otero, Jingbai Li

“…Abstract Crystalline pentacene is a model solid-state light-harvesting material because its quantum efficiencies exceed 100% via ultrafast singlet fission. The singlet fission mechanism in pentacene crystals is disputed due to insufficient electronic information in time-resolved experiments and intractable quantum mechanical calculations for simulating realistic crystal dynamics. …”

Removal of Sulfur Dioxide from Flue Gas Using the Sludge Sodium Humate by Yu Zhao, Guoxin Hu

“…Experiments were conducted to examine the effect of various operating parameters, like the inlet SO2 concentration or temperature or O2, on the SO2 absorption efficiency and desulfurization time in a lab-scale bubbling reactor. The sludge sodium humate in the supernatant after alkaline sludge treatment shows great performance in SO2 absorption, and such efficiency can be maintained above 98% with 100 mL of this absorption solution at 298 K (flue gas rate of 0.12 m3/h). …”
