A three-electrode system was used to study the effect of anode surface roughness on the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Two glassy carbon plates were polished to uniform roughness of the orders of magnitude of 10s of nm and 100s of nm. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to quantify the roughness as well as the 3D topography of the surfaces. Multiple electrochemical methods including potentiostatic tests, potentiodynamic tests, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were utilized to monitor the performance of the glassy carbon electrodes. After 275 hours of experimentation, the current density generated by the rough electrode was much higher than that generated by the smooth one. Furthermore, the charge-transfer resistance of the rough electrode was lower than that of the smooth one. The better electrochemical performance of the rough surface may be due to denser biofilm grown on the surface, which was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Cork flooring maintains the natural qualities of cork, showing the unique and elegant natural patterns, and also has series of advantages such as thermal insulation, sound insulation, moisture barrier, insulation, and no static. Ultraviolet (UV) curable coatings have no volatile organic compounds, little environmental pollution, fast curing, and are suitable for high speed automated production, which is the development of environmentally friendly wood floor coatings. In this paper, the UV-curable wooden coatings for floor were interfacially modified with nanosilica. The process parameters were optimized by orthogonal experiments, and the overall performance of wood flooring UV coating was obtained. The mechanical properties of the coating (hardness, adhesion and impact strength), resistance to liquid properties (resistance to aqueous sodium chloride solution, resistance to aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, resistance to alcohol, resistance to blue and black ink, resistance to sauce) and gloss were tested. It was found that wood flooring UV coating had good performance, hardness reached 3H, adhesion reached one grade, impact strength was 40 kgcm, and fluid-resistant performance (120 h) of coating reached one grade when the nanosilica content was 0.50%~0.70%, the drying time was 2 min, and medium pressure mercury UV lamp was 3. The gloss results showed that gloss of wood flooring UV coatings decreased with the increase of nanosilica content. When the nanosilica content was 0.50%~0.70%, the gloss value was in the vicinity of 35%, showing a matte gloss. This study provides new perspectives in wood flooring UV coating for industrial applications.

Alternating current impedance has been used to study effects of hydration stages and molar ratio on the pore structure and hydration characters of basic magnesium sulfate cement. The alternating current impedance spectra of at early hydration almost appears as a straight line because none crystal hydration phases form. And it appears high frequency semicircle at late hydration stage because of decreasing of porosity and amount of 5Mg (OH)2 ·MgSO4·7H2O gradually form with ages. Besides, alternating current impedance spectra differences among basic magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxysulfate and magnesium oxychloride cement have been studied. These differences indicate that additives such as citric acid may change the structure and charge characteristics of MgO hydration layer which make tends to form more 5Mg (OH)2 ·MgSO4·7H2O phase in basic magnesium sulfate cement than that in magnesium oxysulfate cement. The higher pore solution resistance of BMS cement is the main factor of better steel-protection.
