Catalysts featuring multiple active sites hold significant potential for CO2 photoconversion to multi-carbon products. However, multi-metal-site catalysts typically face challenges with low yields and selectivity for ethylene production, with a lack of def ...

The endeavor to drive CO2 photoreduction towards the synthesis of C2 products is largely thwarted by the colossal energy hurdle inherent in C−C coupling. Herein, we load active metal particles on metal oxide nanosheets to build the dual metal pair sites fo ...

The transition from fossil-based to renewable energy systems requires the integration of decentralized energy technologies such as solar photovoltaic (PV). Therefore, it is essential to evaluate multi-energy systems with different spatial and time resoluti ...

Oil -based polymeric resins are widely used in the manufacture of fibre -reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, contributing up to 70 % to their total weight. In an effort to reduce the dependence on oil -based feedstock, bio-based alternatives are being inc ...

Atmospheric Black Carbon (BC) is one of the absorbing components of solar radiation which potentially affects human health and regional climate. In the current study, BC mass concentrations were regularly observed for pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons using ...

Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is a promising technology to convert wet biomass to renewable natural gas. The present study sheds light on the chemical composition and the formation mechanism of coke deposits on a Ru/CNF catalyst during continuous ...

Annealing furnaces are critical for achieving the desired material properties in the production of high-quality aluminum products. In addition, energy efficiency has become more and more important in industrial processes due to increasing decarbonization r ...

Polycrystalline CuWO4 film is an emerging photoanode material for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting with a small bandgap to absorb visible light and excellent stability in a neutral electrolyte. However, its PEC performance is quite low mainly due ...

The use of renewable energy sources has been promoted with concern about limited fossil fuels and increased environmental impact. Empty fruit bunch (EFB), which is a valuable biomass residual from palm oil milling processes, is one of the most promising re ...

The solar thermochemical cycle based on ceria is a promising route for renewable fuel production. The solar-to-fuel efficiency of a thermochemical reactor is highly dependent on the oxygen removal during the reduction step. Conventional nitrogen sweeping ( ...

We describe the use of CO2 as a promising C1 source instead of CO in the tandem Pauson-Khand reaction. The reaction is achieved by combining the reduction of CO2 to CO using a metal organic framework (MOF) catalyst with homogeneous rhodium catalysts for th ...

The surge of Mobility on Demand (MoD) is largely attributed to advancements in mobile internet and technology. Ridesourcing platforms, among other solution services, offer convenience and flexibility when it comes to pick-up/drop-off time and location, all ...

In standard modelling of energy and climate policies, the speed and extent of energy efficiency improvements (EEIs) are usually assumed to be unaffected, even by policies designed to foster innovation. We model endogenous EEI in a model of the Swiss housin ...

Harvesting sunlight, the ultimate renewable power source, in a cost-effective way has been long recognized as a necessary route to meet the global energy challenges. Solar energy can be transformed into electricity by means of photovoltaic devices to suppl ...

Biogas upgrading technologies are crucial for the production of high-purity biomethane. Efficient CO2 removal methods that are currently commercialized rely on "catch-and-release" mechanisms, and the CO2 stream is usually discharged into the atmosphere wit ...

Grape pomace (GP) is a low-value by-product that contains a significant amount of high value-added products. The huge amount of non-edible residues of GP wastes (seeds, skins, leaves and, stems) pro-duced by wine industries causes & rsquo; environmental po ...

In the framework of the XFLEX HYDRO H2020 European Project, one of the demonstrators focuses on the implementation of the hydraulic short-circuit on the pump storage power plant of Grand-Maison owned by Electricite De France (EDF). The Grand-Maison power p ...

The feasibility of district cooling systems is linked to their efficiency, which is associated with their capital and operational costs. For reasons of ownership and maintenance, the piping network commonly follows the city's street layout. This paper exam ...
