• Wastes as Aggregates, Binders or Additions in Mortars: Selecting Their Role Based on Characterization 

  Brazao Farinha, Catarina; Brito, Jorge de; Veiga, Rosário; Fernández, J.M.; Jiménez, José Ramón; Romero Esquinas, Álvaro (MDPI, 2018)

  The production of waste has increased over the years and, lacking a recycle or recovery solution, it is forwarded to landfill. The incorporation of wastes in cement-based materials is a solution to reduce waste deposition. ...

• Almond Shell as a Microporous Carbon Source for Sustainable Cathodes in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries 

  Benítez de la Torre, A.; González-Tejero, Marcos; Caballero Amores, Álvaro; Morales Palomino, Julián (MDPI, 2018)

  A microporous carbon derived from biomass (almond shells) and activated with phosphoric acid was analysed as a cathodic matrix in Li–S batteries. By studying the parameters of the carbonization process of this biomass ...

• On the Mechanism of Magnesium Storage in Microand Nano-Particulate Tin Battery Electrodes 

  Nacimiento-Cobos, Francisco José; Cabello, Marta; Pérez-Vicente, C.; Alcántara Román, Ricardo; Lavela Cabello, Pedro; Ortiz Jiménez, Gregorio F.; Tirado Coello, José Luis (MDPI, 2018)

  This study reports on the electrochemical alloying-dealloying properties of Mg2Sn intermetallic compounds. 119Sn Mössbauer spectra of -Sn powder, thermally alloyed cubic-Mg2Sn, and an intermediate MgSn nominal composition ...

• Experimental Characterization of the Self-Healing Capacity of Cement Based Materials: An Overview 

  Ferrara, Liberato; Cuenca Asensio, Estefania; Lo Monte, Francesco; Roig Flores, Marta; Sánchez Moreno, Mercedes; Snoeck, Didier; Van Mullem, Tim; Belie, Nele De (MDPI, 2018)

  This paper, prepared in the framework of the COST Action SARCOS WG2 activities (http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/ca/CA15202), provides an overview of the main concepts underlying the experimental characterization of the ...

• Promotion of Circular Economy: Steelwork Dusts as Secondary Raw Material in Conventional Mortars 

  Lozano Lunar, Angélica; Barbudo Muñoz, M. Auxiliadora; Fernández, J.M.; Jiménez, José Ramón (MDPI, 2018)

  Among the actions proposed by the European Union for the implementation of Circular Economy is the use of waste as a secondary raw material (SRM). During the fusion of the scrap, a steel dust is generated, named Electric ...
