The development of energy storage devices providing high energy and power densities and long-term stability will play an important role in the future utilization of sustainable energy sources. Numerous efforts have been devoted to achieving these requirements, especially the design of advanced electrode materials. For this reason, there is growing interest in the innovation of new carbon-based materials with enhanced electrochemical performance. Nanostructured carbon spheres (CSs) have attracted significant attention due to their prominent properties, such as high surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, tunable porosity, and surface functionality. This review offers a comprehensive overview into the recent advances of nanostructured CSs within the last five years, focusing on synthetic strategies for producing carbon particles with precisely controlled morphologies and interior structures, as well as the potential applications of these particles as high-performance electrode materials in rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors. The challenges and perspectives on future research directions are highlighted, focusing on the controlled synthesis and functionalization of nanostructured CSs with tunable structures and properties that are well-suited to practical applications. This review is intended to serve as a helpful resource to researchers involved in the fabrication of new CS materials and the development of methods to control their structure and morphology.

Spray drying is gaining traction in the pharmaceutical industry as one of the processing methods of choice for the manufacture of solid dosage forms intended for pulmonary, oral, and parenteral delivery. This process is particularly advantageous because of its ability to produce engineered particles with improved efficacy and stability by combining active pharmaceutical ingredients or biologics with appropriate excipients. Moreover, due to its high throughput, continuous operation, and ability to produce thermostable solid powders, spray drying can be a manufacturing method of choice in the production of drugs and other formulations, including vaccines, for global distribution. Formulation design based on a mechanistic understanding of the different phenomena that occur during the spray drying of powders is complicated and can therefore make the use of available particle formation models difficult for the practitioner. This review aims to provide step-by-step guidance accompanied by critical background information for the successful formulation design of spray-dried microparticles. These include discussion of the tools needed to estimate the surface concentration of each solute during droplet drying, their times and modes of solidification, and the amount of glass stabilizers and shell formers required to produce stable and dispersible powders.

The aim of this theoretical investigation is to seek any similarities between the Austin model and the Kotake–Kanda (KK) model for the specific breakage rate function in the population balance model (PBM) used for tumbling ball milling and assess feasibility of the KK model for scale-up. For both models, the limiting behavior for small particle size-to-ball size ratio and the extremum behavior for a given ball size are described by “power-law.” Motivated by this similarity, specific breakage rate data were generated using the Austin model parameters obtained from the lab-scale ball milling of coal and fitted by the KK model successfully. Then, using the Austin’s scale-up methodology, the specific breakage rate was scaled-up numerically for various mill diameter scale-up ratios and ball sizes of 30–49 mm and coal particle sizes of 0.0106–30 mm. PBM simulations suggest that the KK model predicts identical evolution of the particle size distribution to that by the Austin model prior to scale-up. Upon scale-up, the differences are relatively small. Hence, modification of the exponents in the Austin’s scale-up methodology is not warranted for scale-up with the KK model. Overall, this study has established the similarity of both models for simulation and scale-up.
