T1 - Gas solubility in ionic liquids: Mixed gases in pure ionic liquids and single gases in binary liquid mixtures N2 - In the last two decades, the solubility of gases in ionic liquids has attracted a lot of attention. While at the beginning most publications dealt with the solubility of a single gas in a pure ionic liquid, recently the interest starts to shift to the – from an application-oriented point of view – more challenging area of the simultaneous solubility of several gases in an ionic liquid and/or the solubility of a single gas in solvent mixtures with ionic liquids. The current state of information on experimental data (and the phenomena encountered) in such systems is summarized and discussed.

This project was carried out without adding impurities to the gas used for this comparison, and is therefore more representative to evaluate the analysis of CO, CO2, CH4, O2, Ar and H2O impurities in high purity nitrogen. The analysis of the amount–of–substance fraction water was optional. Two 50 litre high purity nitrogen cylinders were purchased from a well-qualified supplier of specialty gases. The listed components were expected to be present in the pure nitrogen at the target levels as a result of the purification of the nitrogen. From the start of this comparison it was clear that the comparison may not lead to reference values for the constituents analysed. The results indicate that analyses of high purity gases are often limited by the limits of detection of analytical equipment used. The reports of the participating laboratories also indicate that there is no agreed method of determination of the uncertainty on a detection Limit value. The results provide useful information on the Performance of participants. For all analysed components there is reasonable agreement in results for LNE, VSL, Metas and NPL. For BAM only the Argon result is in agreement.

T1 - International Comparison Euramet.QM-K111 – Propane in Nitrogen N2 - This key comparison aims to assess the core capabilities of the participants in gas analysis. Such competences include, among others, the capabilities to prepare Primary Standard gas Mixtures (PSMs), perform the necessary purity analysis on the materials used in the gas mixture preparation, the verification of the composition of newly prepared PSMs against existing ones, and the capability of calibrating the composition of a gas mixture. According to the Strategy for Key Comparisons of the Gas Analysis Working Group, this key comparison is classified as an RMO track A key comparison. The artefacts were binary mixtures of propane in nitrogen at a nominal amount-of-substance fraction level of 1000 μmol/mol. The values and uncertainties from the gravimetric gas mixture preparation were used as key comparison reference values (KCRVs). Each transfer standard had its own KCRV. The results are generally good. All results are within ± 1 % of the KCRV.

T1 - Simultaneous solubility of carbon dioxide and hydrogen in the ionic liquid [hmim][Tf2N]: experimental results and correlation N2 - The solubility of a single gas as well as the simultaneous solubility of several gases in an ionic liquid is of great interest in many areas of chemical engineering, particularly in heterogeneous catalysis. One of the most interesting features involved in the study of the simultaneous solubility of several gases in a pure ionic liquid is the difference between experimental data and predictions for the simultaneous solubility (based on experimental data for the solubility of the single gases). The well soluble gas might act as a cosolvent or as an antisolvent for a sparsely soluble second gas. New experimental results and a correlation are presented for the simultaneous solubility of hydrogen (i.e., a sparsely soluble gas) and carbon dioxide (a well soluble gas) in the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([hmim][Tf2N]) at temperatures between 293 K and 373 K and pressures up to about 9.2 MPa. The experimental results reveal that carbon dioxide acts as a cosolvent for hydrogen in that particular ionic liquid. A correlation shows that the cosolvency effect can be modeled by considering interaction parameters between hydrogen and carbon dioxide in liquid [hmim][Tf2N]. The correlation can also be used to quantify that cosolvency effect: one mole of carbon dioxide in 1000 g of [hmim][Tf2N] increases the solubility of (small amounts of) hydrogen by about 20%.

T1 - Facile synthesis of poly(p-phenylenediamine)/MWCNT nanocomposites and characterization for investigation of structural effects of carbon nanotubes N2 - Poly(p-phenylenediamine) (PpPD)/carboxylic acid-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (c-MWCNTs) nanocomposites were prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization using potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) as an oxidant. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE–SEM) and field-emission Transmission electron microscopy (FE–TEM) showed that a tubular layer of PpPD was coated on the surface of carbon nanotubes with a thickness of 10–20 nm. FT–IR analysis provided an evidence for the formation of nanocomposites. The thermal stability of nanocomposites was improved by addition of c-MWCNTs as confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). XRD spectra showed that the crystalline nature of PpPD was not affected much by the addition of c-MWCNTs. As the content of c-MWCNTs was increased, the electrical conductivity of the nanocomposites increased due to the interaction between polymer and nanotubes that enhances electron delocalization.

T1 - Phase equilibria and partitioning of L-histidine and three pharmaceuticals to pH-adjusted high-pressure liquid phases of the ternary system (ethene + water + 2-propanol) N2 - Adding some salt to a homogeneous aqueous liquid solution of an organic solvent often results in a liquid–liquid phase split. However, such a phase split can also be achieved by charging such a liquid with a gas, in particular when the temperature is close to the critical temperature of that specific gas. This phenomenon is called 'salting out by a near-critical gas'. It might be applied in a high-pressure extraction process, for example, to separate and recover valuable biomolecules from aqueous phases. Using a neutral gas like, for example, ethene for pressurizing additionally allows to adjust the pH of the coexisting liquid phases and to influence the partitioning of biomolecules when they change their electric net charge with the pH of the solution. The design of such separation processes requires not only reliable information on the phase forming system, that is, the ternary system (near-critical gas + water + organic solvent), but also on the partitioning of typical solutes to the coexisting phases. The present publication reports data (from an experimental study with a static-analytical device) for the partitioning of four biomolecules, that is, L-histidine, Aspirin, cimetidine, and 4-dimethylaminoantipyrine (at nearly infinite dilution) to coexisting liquid phases of the high-pressure three-phase liquid–liquid–vapor (L1L2V) equilibrium of the ternary system (ethene + water + 2-propanol) at (293 and 333) K and pressures from about (5.5 to 17) MPa. The coexisting liquid phases are characterized by distinctly different compositions, the aqueous phase being more hydrophilic than the alkanol-rich phase. Moreover, electrolytes were additionally added to adjust the pH conditions in the liquid phases. The pH-dependent dissociation equilibrium and the related net charge of the biomolecules primarily determine the partitioning behavior: The pH effect is stronger than the impact of varying pressure or temperature. For example, a switch from basic to acidic conditions can invert the partitioning, if that switch at the same time effects a change in the net charge of the solute, for example, from an ionic to a neutral molecule (or vice versa). The ionic solute is more hydrophilic (and thus prefers the aqueous phase), whereas the neutral or zwitterionic solute is less hydrophilic (i.e., more lipophilic) and consequently prefers the propanol-rich liquid phase.

T1 - Solubility of carbon dioxide in liquid mixtures of water + [bmim][CH3SO4] N2 - Experimental results are reported for the solubility of carbon dioxide in liquid mixtures of water and the ionic liquid 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ([bmim][CH3SO4]). Three (gas-free) solvent compositions were considered with mass fractions of [bmim][CH3SO4] of w' ≈ 0.15, 0.50, and 0.87 (mole fractions x' ≈ 0.013, 0.066, and 0.33). In the isothermal experimental series, the temperature was about (293, 333, and 373) K. The total pressure ranged up to about 10 MPa. The molality of carbon dioxide in the solvent mixture of (water + [bmim][CH3SO4]) (the mole fraction of carbon dioxide in the liquid) ranged up to approximately 1.64 mol·kg–1 (about 0.0332). The experimental results are used to determine Henry's constant of carbon dioxide in the liquid mixtures of (water + [bmim][CH3SO4]) as well as the partial molar volume of that gas at infinite dilution in those solvent mixtures. The phase equilibrium is described by applying an extension (to solvent mixtures) of Pitzer's molality scale-based equation for the Gibbs excess energy.

T1 - Accurate experimental (p, rho, T) data for the introduction of hydrogen into the natural gas grid: Thermodynamic characterization of the nitrogen−hydrogen binary system from 240 to 350 K and pressures up to 20 MPa N2 - The experimental density data of the binary System nitrogen−hydrogen available at the time of the development of the equation of state for natural gases and related mixtures, GERG-2008, were limited to hydrogen contents higher than 0.15 (amount-of-substance fraction) and temperatures above 270 K. This work provides accurate experimental (p, ρ, T) data for three binary mixtures of nitrogen and hydrogen: (0.95 N2 + 0.05 H2), (0.90 N2 + 0.10 H2), and (0.50 N2 + 0.50 H2) at temperatures of 240, 250, 260, 275, 300, 325, and 350 K, thus extending the range of available experimental data to low hydrogen contents and low temperatures. The density measurements were performed by using a single-sinker densimeter with magnetic suspension coupling at pressures up to 20 MPa. Experimental data were compared with the corresponding densities calculated from the GERG-2008 and the AGA8-DC92 equations of state. The relative deviations of the experimental data from both equations of state were within the estimated uncertainty value of the equations. Therefore, the experimental data agree very well with the values estimated from the equations. The virial coefficients B(T,x), C(T,x), and D(T,x) as well as the second interaction virial coefficient B12(T) for the nitrogen−hydrogen binary system were also calculated from the experimental data set at temperatures from 240 to 350 K. The resulting values agree with those from literature.

T1 - High-pressure phase behavior of ternary systems (carbon dioxide + alkanol + hydrophobic ionic liquid) N2 - Some homogeneous liquid mixtures of an ionic liquid and a lower alkanol (e.g., methanol) can be forced to undergo a liquid–liquid phase split (resulting in a three-phase liquid–liquid–vapor (L1L2V) equilibrium) by pressurization with a gas. Such systems exhibit the phenomenon of "salting out by a nearcritical gas". That phenomenon is often observed at temperatures around the critical temperature of the gas in liquid mixtures where at least one of the liquid components is a good solvent for that gas. New experimental results for both the L1L2V equilibrium and the corresponding critical endpoint lines of the two ternary systems (carbon dioxide + methanol + 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [bmim][PF6]) and (carbon dioxide + 1-butanol + 1-n-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide [hmim][Tf2N]) at temperatures between 293 and 333 K are reported. The experiments were performed with an "analytical method". The liquid–liquid phase split exists only at pressures between a lower critical endpoint line (where both liquid phases become critical and coexist with a vapor phase) and an upper critical endpoint line (where one of the phases becomes critical with the vapor phase while the critical phases coexist with another liquid phase). The compositions of the coexisting three phases L1, L2, and V differ considerably; a high-density, ionic liquid-rich liquid phase (L1) coexists with an alkanol-rich liquid phase (L2) of lower density and a vapor phase (V) that is virtually ionic liquid-free. For both systems, it was observed that, at constant temperature, increasing pressure shifts the L1 phase towards higher contents of ionic liquid and gas and less alkanol, whereas in the L2 phase the mole fractions of ionic liquid and alkanol decrease. Higher temperatures result in a smaller difference between the pressures of both critical endpoint lines. Experimental results for both critical endpoint lines and for the compositions of the coexisting liquid phases are reported.

T1 - Ionic liquid mediated synthesis of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-block-methyl methacrylate)/Fe3O4 core–shell structured nanocomposite by ATRP method N2 - A hybrid nanocomposite of magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) and poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-blockpoly(methyl methacrylate) (PHEMA-b-PMMA) was synthesized successfully by the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in an ionic liquid (IL), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim]PF6). Fe3O4 nanoparticles were first surface-modified with the initiator, 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BiBBr), in dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent, which produced the macro-initiator, Fe3O4-BiB, to initiate the polymerization reactions for the synthesis of the block polymer, PHEMA-b-PMMA. After immobilizing the Initiator on the surface of Fe3O4, the block polymer chains were grafted successfully onto the Fe3O4 surface, causing the Formation of a core-shell nanostructure. The incorporation of Fe3O4 in the nanocomposite was confirmed by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The thermal stability and magnetic properties increased with increasing amount of Fe3O4 in the nanocomposite.

T1 - Properties of chitosan/magnetite nanoparticles composites for efficient dye adsorption and antibacterial agent N2 - Chitosan (CS)/iron oxide (Fe3O4) composites were prepared using a chemical precipitation method. The CS/Fe3O4 composite was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and zeta-potential measurements. The Composite was used to remove methyl orange (MO) dye from an aqueous solution. The factors affecting the adsorption capacity, such as adsorption time, absorbent dosage and solution pH were investigated. The results suggested that the composite was an effective adsorbent for the removal of MO dye from its aqueous solution. Kinetics studies showed that the adsorption process was consistent with a pseudo-second-order model.

T1 - Accurate experimental (p, rho, T) values and virial coefficients for the (methane and helium) binary system N2 - This work provides accurate experimental (p, rho, T) values for three binary mixtures of methane with helium: (0.95 (amount-of-substance fraction) CH₄+ 0.05 He) and (0.90 CH₄+ 0.10 He) at temperatures of (240, 250, and 260) K and (0.50 CH₄+ 0.50 He) from (240 to 400) K. This work is a continuation of a previous one which reported accurate experimental (p, rho, T) values for the (0.95 CH₄+ 0.05 He) and the (0.90 CH₄+ 0.10 He) binary mixtures over the temperature range from (250 to 400) K. All density measurements were performed by using a single-sinker densimeter with magnetic suspension coupling at pressures up to 20 MPa. Experimental values were compared with the corresponding densities calculated from the GERG-2008 and the AGA8-DC92 equations of state, respectively. Deviations from the GERG-2008 are much larger than from the AGA8-DC92 (up to -6.5%). These deviations increase with decreasing temperature, with increasing pressure, and with increasing helium fraction. In contrast, deviations from the AGA8-DC92 are within the 0.5% band. The experimental values were also used to calculate the second and the third virial coefficients, B(T,x) and C(T,x), as well as the second interaction virial coefficient B12(T) for this mixture.

T1 - Evaluation of Reference Equations of State for Density Prediction in Regasified LNG Mixtures Using High-Precision Experimental Data N2 - This study evaluates the performance of three reference equations of state (EoS), AGA8-DC92, GERG-2008, and SGERG-88, in predicting the density of regasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) mixtures. A synthetic nine-component RLNG mixture was gravimetrically prepared. High-precision density measurements were obtained using a single-sinker magnetic suspension densimeter over a temperature range of (250 to 350) K and pressures up to 20 MPa. The experimental data were compared with EoS predictions to evaluate their accuracy. AGA8-DC92 and GERG-2008 showed excellent agreement with the experimental data, with deviations within their stated uncertainty. In contrast, SGERG-88 exhibited significantly larger deviations for this RLNG mixture, particularly at low temperatures of (250 to 260) K, where discrepancies reached up to 3 %. Even at 300 K, deviations larger than 0.4 % were observed at high pressures, within the model’s uncertainty, but notably higher than those of the other two EoSs. The analysis was extended to three conventional 11-component natural gas mixtures (labeled G420 NG, G431 NG, and G432 NG), previously studied by our group using the same methodology. While SGERG-88 showed reduced accuracy for the RLNG mixture, it performed reasonably well for these three mixtures, despite two of them have a very similar composition to the RLNG. This discrepancy is attributed to the lower CO2 and N2 content typical in RLNG mixtures, demonstrating the sensitivity of EoS performance to minor differences in composition. These findings highlight the importance of selecting appropriate EoS models for accurate density prediction in RLNG applications.

T1 - Modified chemical synthesis of MnS nanoclusters on nickel foam for high performance all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors N2 - Novel MnS nanoclusters were synthesized on nickel foam (NF) using a successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. MnS nanoclusters with different sizes were obtained by varying the number of deposition cycles. The crystal structure, chemical composition, and surface microstructure of the electrodes were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field Emission scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical behavior of the MnS nanoclusters was examined by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge–discharge, cycling test, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The MnS nanoclusters prepared with 90 SILAR cycles showed the best supercapacitance in a 6 M KOH aqueous electrolyte with a specific capacitance of 828 F/g at a scan rate of 5 mV/s and cycling stability of 85.2 % after 5000 charge–discharge cycles. Moreover, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) was assembled with the as-prepared MnS electrode on NF as the positive electrode, hydrothermally prepared reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on NF as the negative electrode, and PVA–KOH gel as the electrolyte. The MnS@NF//rGO@NF ASC showed excellent electrochemical performance with maximum energy and power densities of 34.1 Wh/kg and 12.8 kW/kg, respectively. The ASC also showed a capacitive retention of 86.5 % after 2000 charge–discharge cycles, highlighting its practical application for energy storage.

T1 - Solvent-driven morphology-controlled synthesis of highly efficient long-life ZnO/graphene nanocomposite photocatalysts for the practical degradation of organic wastewater under solar light N2 - Metal oxide/graphene photocatalysts have been attracting considerable attention in solving environmental pollution problems because of the limitations of the semiconductor-based photocatalysts. In this study, highly efficient and inexpensive zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles with three different morphologies, such as nanospheres, nanodisks, and nanorods, anchored on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were synthesized in solvent mixtures with different ethanol to water ratios. Among the three morphologies, the nanospherical ZnO/RGO (sZG) Composite exhibited the highest methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B removal efficiencies at 99% and 98%, respectively, after only 60 min under low-power (40 W) ultraviolet irradiation at a low catalyst loading of 0.1 g L−1. This nanocomposite also showed excellent photocatalytic stability under UV irradiation, retaining 96% Efficiency even after 15 cycles of MB degradation. Moreover, the sZG composite exhibited a high MB degradation Efficiency of approximately 99% after 100 min at a low catalyst loading of 0.2 g L−1 under solar light illumination. The excellent photocatalytic performance and high stability of this low-cost nanospherical ZnO/RGO Composite exemplarily highlights the potential of sustainable next-generation photocatalysis for treating wastewater containing organic pollutants.

T1 - Heterogeneous activation of peroxymonosulfate by a novel magnetic 3D gamma- MnO2@ZnFe2O4/rGO nanohybrid as a robust catalyst for phenol degradation N2 - Three-dimensional (3D) γ-MnO2@ZnFe2O4/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanohybrids were synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal self-assembly method. The morphology and properties of the nanohybrids were investigated. The synergistic interactions among γ-MnO2, ZnFe2O4, and rGO resulted in 3D nanoflakes distributed uniformly in the rGO structure with a thickness of approximately 2–5 nm, leading to a high surface area. The nanohybrid containing 10 wt. % rGO exhibited superior catalytic activities for phenol degradation through the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to generate active sulfate radicals (SO4 •–). Typically, 50 mL of a 20 ppm phenol solution was degraded completely and 85% of the carbon content had been mineralized in 30 min at 25 °C using 10 mg of the nanohybrid. The nanohybrid could be recovered easily using a magnet and reused, maintaining high stability during catalytic oxidation. The 3D γ-MnO2@ZnFe2O4/rGO nanohybrid catalyst could be applied to the removal of hard-to-degrade waste materials owing to its high efficiency and excellent reusability.

T1 - Sensoren und Analytik für Sicherheit und Prozesskontrolle in Wasserstofftechnologien N2 - Die Nutzung von Sensortechnologien, insbesondere im Bereich der Gasdetektion mit einem Schwerpunkt auf Wasserstoff, spielt eine entscheidende Rolle in verschiedenen Anwendungsbereichen der Wasserstofftechnologie. Sicherheitsüberwachung, Leckdetektion und Prozesskontrolle gehören zu den prominenten Anwendungsgebieten dieser Sensortechnologien. Ein zentrales Ziel ist die Erkennung von freigesetztem Wasserstoff sowie die genaue Bestimmung des Wasserstoff-Luftverhältnisses mithilfe von Gassensoren. Dies ist von entscheidender Bedeutung, um potenzielle Gefahren frühzeitig zu erkennen und angemessene Maßnahmen zu ergreifen. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt dieses Beitrags liegt auf der Analytik und der Verwendung zertifizierter Referenzmaterialien in Verbindung mit Metrologie für die Wasserstoffspeicherung. Dies gewährleistet eine präzise und zuverlässige Charakterisierung von Wasserstoff und unterstützt die Entwicklung sicherer Speichertechnologien. Im Rahmen des Euramet-Vorhabens Metrology for Advanced Hydrogen Storage Solutions (MefHySto) wird eine Kurzvorstellung präsentiert. Der Vortrag stellt zwei zerstörungsfreie Prüfverfahren zum strukturellen Zustandsüberwachung (Structural Health Monitoring, SHM) für Wasserstofftechnologien vor. Insbesondere die Fehlstellenerkennung mittels geführter Ultraschallwellen spielt eine bedeutende Rolle bei der Lebensdauerüberwachung von Wasserstoffspeichern. Ein weiterer Aspekt ist die Anwendung faseroptischer Sensorik zur Schadensfrüherkennung von Wasserstoffspeichern. Diese zerstörungsfreien Prüfverfahren ermöglichen eine präzise und frühzeitige Identifizierung von Schäden, was die Sicherheit und Effizienz von Wasserstoffspeichersystemen entscheidend verbessert.

Therefore, international standards (e.g., ISO 14687) set a stringent threshold of 100 nmol/mol. Furthermore, with the growing potential use of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier, its accurate quantification is becoming increasingly important. However, the presence of trace humidity poses analytical challenges, as ammonia may interact with water or interfaces, thereby affecting its detectability. Therefore, the goal of this work is to enable accurate trace ammonia quantification for hydrogen purity measurements through fundamental studies of the methodological challenges. Here, low-pressure sampling (ultra)long-path Optical-Feedback Cavity-Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy (OF-CEAS) was applied with an effective optical path length of approximately 6.17 km. We studied three average amounts of ammonia: (38.2 ± 0.8) nmol/mol, (74.8 ± 0.7) nmol/mol, and (112.1 ± 1.2) nmol/mol. Furthermore, these amounts were investigated at trace-humidity levels ranging from 0.8 to 8.5 ppmV. We observed a systematic, nonlinear, and humidity-dependent positive measurement bias of up to + (1.0 ± 0.2) nmol/mol at the maximum investigated trace-humidity volume fraction of 8.5 ppmV. This bias was not caused by spectral interference but rather by water-induced accumulation of ammonia within the optical cavity. Moreover, time-resolved measurements in the presence of trace ammonia showed that water desorption follows first-order kinetics, whereas water adsorption followed mixed-order kinetics with an apparent reaction order of 1.57 ± 0.03. Distinct hydration states of surface-bound ammonia were identified, whereas under dry conditions and with increasing amounts of ammonia, enhanced surface adhesion through intermolecular clustering was observed. In addition, the presence of ammonium species within the sorption layer was indirectly confirmed by our experiments. In conclusion, we provide a deeper insight into trace-level ammonia–water interactions and establish a framework for optimizing methodologies, particularly for (ultra)long-path optical gas measurement systems.

To address this, we report a hollow-structured NiTiO₃/C–Ag/Ag₃PO₄ (NT/C–AAP) photocatalyst—the first hollow-type nickel titanate—synthesized via a self-template solvothermal route followed by photodeposition. The catalyst integrates key design strategies—hollow architecture, oxygen vacancies, carbon coating, and an S-scheme heterojunction—to optimize photocatalytic performance. The hollow structure enhances light harvesting via internal scattering, oxygen vacancies facilitate O2 adsorption and superoxide (O₂•⁻) generation, and the S-scheme heterojunction effectively suppresses electron–hole recombination while preserving strong redox potential. NT/C–AAP achieved 96% TCH degradation within 1 h and 82% mineralization in 3 h under solar light, far exceeding core–shell (18%) and aggregated (47%) NiTiO₃-based catalysts. Complete removal was realized within 40 min under 400 W visible light. The catalyst maintained 96% activity after five cycles, confirming excellent durability. Compared with previously reported NiTiO₃ photocatalysts, NT/C–AAP delivered a 50–400% performance enhancement arising from its engineered hollow structure and improved electronic properties. Mechanistic studies identified O₂•⁻ and •OH radicals as dominant species, validating the role of morphology and interface engineering in directing charge separation and redox activity. Additionally, a catalyst performance index was proposed to facilitate comparison across diverse conditions. Overall, this work introduces a novel, durable photocatalyst that links structural design to functional performance and demonstrates strong potential for practical environmental remediation.

T1 - Primary gas standards for the determination of sulfur-based impurities at trace level in hydrogen N2 - Hydrogen fuel quality needs to comply with ISO 14687:2025 to avoid harmful impact on applications using proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. For total sulfur as one of the most impactful contaminants, an amount fraction of 4 nmol/mol has been set as threshold (so-called Grade D quality). In this study, novel gaseous primary gas standards (PGS) of seven sulfur compounds were prepared either gravimetrically at 1000 nmol/mol, 100 nmol/mol, and 10 nmol/mol, or dynamically diluted down to 4 nmol/mol in hydrogen and argon matrices with relative expanded uncertainties well below 10 % (k = 2) and proven stability of at least 9–12 months. Two different cylinder passivation treatments were compared, with one treatment identified as unsuitable since reactions took place within the mixture. By performing a cross-check study, equivalence between both sets of PGS could be demonstrated (≤ 5 % relative deviation for most of the sulfur species).
