Abstract Architectural windows that smartly regulate indoor solar radiation by changing their optical transmittance in response to thermostimuli are developed as a promising solution toward reducing the energy consumption of buildings. Recently, energy‐efficient smart window technology has attracted increasing scientific interest, with exploration novel materials well integration practical techniques generate various desired multifunctionalities. This review systematically summarizes...
This review focuses on the mechanisms of CO<sub>2</sub> and CO methanation, catalysts' deactivation.
The conversion of CO2 into fuels and useful chemicals has been intensively pursued for renewable, sustainable green energy. However, due to the negative adiabatic electron affinity (EA) large ionization potential (IP), molecule is chemically inert, thus making difficult under normal conditions. Novel catalysts, which have high stability, superior efficiency low cost, are urgently needed facilitate conversion. As first step design such understanding mechanisms involved in absolutely...
Amino acid functionalized Cu nanowire (NW) film electrode exhibits remarkably enhanced selectivity of hydrocarbons during CO<sub>2</sub>electroreduction, by stabilizing the key intermediate CHO.
Abstract Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are highly efficient energy conversion devices with the advantage of directly utilizing hydrocarbon fuels. Starting a short introduction about challenges and early achievements in this field, review paper focuses on advances oxygen‐ion conducting electrolyte‐based SOFC during last 15 years. Robust anodes immune to carbon deposition prerequisite for direct SOFC. In paper, anode materials classified into three general categories: Ni‐cermet, Cu‐cermet,...
This communication describes the exploitation of Prussian Blue, ferric ferrocyanide (Fe4III[FeII(CN)6]3), for cathode side in a single-chamber membraneless fuel cell running on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as both and oxidant. An open-circuit voltage (OCV) 0.6 V has been obtained, which could be highest OCV with H2O2 ever reported. The maximum power density was 1.55 mW cm−2 showed stable long-term operation acidic media.
We present a novel approach to the fabrication of advanced polymeric nanocomposites from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) by incorporation PVA-grafted graphene oxide. In this work, we have synthesized oxide (PVA-g-GO) for strong interfacial adhesion (GO) PVA matrix. It was found that mechanical properties were greatly improved incorporating PVA-g-GO. For example, tensile strength and Young's modulus nanocomposite films containing 1 wt % net GO in PVA-g-GO significantly increased 88 150%,...
Graphene-based materials are being hotly pursued for energy and environment applications. Inspired by the recent experimental synthesis of Fe2 dimer supported on graphene (He, Z.; He, K.; Robertson, A. W.; Kirkland, I.; Kim, D.; Ihm, J.; Yoon, E.; Lee, G.-D.; Warner, J. H. Nano Lett. 2014, 14, 3766–3772), here using large-scale screening-based density functional theory microkinetics modeling, we have identified that some transition metal dimers (Cu2, CuMn, CuNi), when with adjacent single...
Due to its zero emissions, high efficiency and low noise, proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is full of potential for the application vehicle power source. Nonetheless, lifespan durability remain multiple obstacles be solved before widespread commercialization. Frequent exposure non-rated operating conditions could considerably accelerate degradation PEMFC in various forms, thus reducing durability. This paper first analyses mechanisms PEMFCs under typical automotive conditions,...
This study investigates the effectiveness of catalytic decomposition methane for producing turquoise hydrogen and solid carbon nanomaterials. The focus is on developing cost-effective high-performance Nickel (Ni)-promoted perovskite oxide catalysts. A series transition metal, Ni-promoted (La0.75Ca0.25)(Cr0.5Mn0.5)O3-δ (LCCM) catalysts have been successfully prepared using water-based gel-casting technology. These are designed to decompose into nanomaterials, achieving negligible CO2...
