The global potentiostat market covers electronic instruments that are used for controlling the voltage difference between working and reference electrodes contained in electrochemical cells. These instruments are used for performing electrochemical experiments. The potentiostat injects current into the cell using an auxiliary or counter electrode, which helps in controlling the difference in voltage.

A powersport battery is a kind of specific category high-performance battery that is used for certain powersport applications such as motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, and scooters, among others. These batteries are built strong for long-lasting use and typically require little to no maintenance, depending on the specific battery type.

Coal gasification is a thermochemical process in which coal is subject to heat and pressure in a gasifier to break it down into its chemical constituents. The resulting product, known as syngas, primarily comprises carbon monoxide and hydrogen and, occasionally, other gaseous compounds. Syngas can be used for electricity generation, as a fuel in energy-efficient fuel cell technology, and even as a chemical building block in industrial applications. Moreover, hydrogen can be extracted for use as fuel in a hydrogen economy. Also, syngas can be used to produce transportation fuels that can be a substitute for gasoline in vehicles.

Ultrapure water is the water treated to obtain the highest purity levels for use in critical cleaning and process feed applications. Ultrapure water is primarily used in the semiconductor industry, power plants, and the healthcare sector. It is obtained by combining several filtering techniques, including reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and ion exchange. The processes for obtaining ultrapure water are monitored by stringent specifications and standards formulated by regulatory bodies.

Combined heat and power, also known as cogeneration, is an efficient process that generates electricity and captures and utilizes the waste heat produced simultaneously. It involves using a single fuel source, such as natural gas or biomass, to generate electricity through a generator or turbine. The waste heat generated during this process is recovered and utilized for heating, cooling, or other thermal energy applications. Combined heat and power systems offer higher energy efficiency, typically exceeding 80%, compared to separate production of electricity and heat. They provide cost savings, reduce fuel consumption, and contribute to environmental sustainability by maximizing the use of energy resources. Combined heat and power find applications in various sectors, including industrial, commercial, and residential settings.

Rugged handheld devices are portable electronic devices that can withstand difficult climatic and environmental conditions. Rugged handheld devices are water- and dust-resistant and have shockproof features. These devices have a battery life of more than ten hours.

Shale gas is a type of natural gas that is trapped within shale rock formations deep beneath the Earth's surface. It is a fossil fuel, like conventional natural gas, primarily composed of methane with small amounts of other hydrocarbons and trace impurities.

A heating and cooling system known as an air source heat pump pulls heat from the outside air and transfers it inside a building for space heating or cooling. It functions as an energy-efficient substitute for conventional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems by compressing refrigerant gas to absorb and release heat. Owing to their adaptability and suitability for use in commercial, industrial, and residential settings, air source heat pumps help save energy and have a smaller negative environmental impact.

NGLs are a group of hydrocarbons that are typically found in natural gas streams but exist in a liquid state at atmospheric pressure and temperature. They are often produced in conjunction with natural gas and crude oil.
