A graphene-based Fabry-Pérot spectrometer in mid-infrared region.
TL;DR: A graphene-based ultra-compact spectrometer (several micrometers in size) that is compatible with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) processing and has potential applications in the graphene-silicon-based optoelectronic devices as it offers new possibilities for developing new ultra- Compound spectrometers and low-cost hyperspectral imaging sensors in mid-infrared region.
Design and optimization of an ammonia synthesis system for ammonia-based solar thermochemical energy storage
TL;DR: In this paper, a design for an entire ammonia synthesis system consisting of a heat recovery reactor to heat supercritical steam and a preconditioning system to preheat the feed gas to sufficiently high temperature was proposed.

Modeling of ammonia synthesis to produce supercritical steam for solar thermochemical energy storage
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional, steady-state, pseudo-homogeneous, packed bed reactor computational model is proposed to simulate heating of supercritical steam in an ammonia synthesis reactor.
