文摘As one of the most promising new energy sources,hydrogen energy is expected to usher in a full-fledged“hydrogen economy”in the 21st century.Compared with traditional high-pressure gaseous and cryogenic liquid hydrogen storage methods,solid-state chemical hydrogen storage shows significant advantages in safety,high efficiency,and cost-effectiveness.Magnesium-based lightweight hydrogen storage materials have attracted widespread attention due to their high gravimetric hydrogen storage density(7.6%)and favorable reversibility.However,their sluggish reaction kinetics and stringent operating conditions(with H2 release temperatures exceeding 350°C and H2 absorption pressures above 4 MPa)pose major challenges for practical applications.Domestic and international researchers have conducted in-depth studies to address these issues,achieving substantial progress in the modification of magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloys.This paper systematically elaborates on major modification techniques such as alloying,nanostructuring,and catalytic material doping,providing a comprehensive analysis of the strengths and limitations of each approach.Furthermore,it offers prospects for the future development of magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials by integrating current theoretical and experimental research findings.
文摘Pitch is an excellent precursor for the production of hard carbon,with pre-oxidation crucial process in the fabrication.The structural changes in the different molecular components of pitch during thermochemical treatment are a key factor in determining the sodium-ion storage of pitchbased hard carbon anodes.We investigated the effects of the different molecular structures in the asphaltene precursor,including aromatic rings and aliphatic chains,on the sodiumion storage behavior of the resulting carbon.We found that polar oxygen functional groups limit the steric hindrance caused by the aromatic rings in pitch,and thus facilitate the introduction of cross-linked structures.During high-temperature carbonization,aromatic rings form a rigid carbon framework that prevents the rearrangement of ordered carbon layers,leading to a short-range disordered carbon structure and promotes the production of closed pores.For example,a material prepared from asphaltene,which contains a large number of oxygen-containing functional groups and macromolecular aromatic rings,using pre-oxidation at 300℃ and carbonization at 1200℃ had a reversible capacity of 316.7 mAh g^(−1) when used as the anode for sodium ion batteries.Our research provides a theoretical basis for the selection of raw materials for the development of high-quality pitch-based hard carbons.

文摘The energy transition increasingly requires holistic approaches that integrate electricity,heating and cooling,water management,industrial processes,transport,and environmental considerations within coherent system frameworks.Such integration is essential for achieving deep decarbonisation while maintaining reliability,affordability,and resource efficiency across diverse regional and sectoral contexts.This Special Issue of Energy Engineering presents selected contributions from the 2024 Conferences on Sustainable Development of Energy,Water and Environment Systems(SDEWES),reflecting recent advances in modelling,system integration,and technology deployment.The included papers address a broad spectrum of challenges relevant to integrated energy–water–environment systems.These include building-sector decarbonisation through hybrid heat pump configurations,geothermal revitalisation of existing oil and gas wells via deep borehole heat exchangers,and techno-economic comparisons of electrochemical batteries and supercapacitors for island energy systems.Further contributions investigate decentralised micro-hydropower solutions tailored to Amazonian conditions,advanced modelling of seepage characteristics in deep tight reservoirs accounting for creep effects,and multi-physical thermal modelling of lithium iron phosphate batteries for residential applications.In addition,hydrogen storage-supported energy system planning using detailed regional housing datasets and retrofit solutions for load balancing in legacy drilling-rig mud pump drives are explored.Collectively,the papers demonstrate how component-level innovation,data-driven planning,and system-level integration can jointly support flexible,resilient,and sustainable energy transitions.By covering diverse applications and geographical contexts,this Special Issue highlights the breadth of the SDEWES research community and provides insights that are relevant for researchers,system planners,and decision-makers working toward integrated energy–water–environment systems.
文摘Lysosomal storage disorders and their impact upon the central nervous system:Lysosomal storage disorders(LSDs)are a group of over 70 rare inherited metabolic disorders(Platt et al.,2018).They are caused by dysfunction of lysosomes,organelles that contain enzymes responsible for digesting macromolecules.In functional lysosomes,these enzymes break down complex substrates,and the resulting fragments are recycled.Individual LSDs are caused by mutations in genes that encode lysosomal enzymes or other proteins crucial for lysosome function(Platt et al.,2018).

文摘The irrigation districts of northern China face issues such as water scarcity,inability to effectively utilize flood resources,and groundwater overexploitation.In view of these challenges,this study proposes a new concept of deep storage irrigation through flood resources utilization.However,whether deep storage irrigation can recharge deep soil moisture and sustain crop production still requires further study.A two-year field experiment was conducted on summer maize in the Guanzhong Plain with five soil wetting layer depths(T1:60 cm;T2:90 cm;T3:120 cm;T4:150 cm;T5:180 cm)and soil saturation moisture content as the irrigation upper limit.The results presented that the ranges of deep soil moisture recharge in the100–200 cm soil profile(SMS_(100–200))was 73.34–267.42 and 0–150.03 mm in 2021(wet season)and 2022(normal season).When the effective precipitation and irrigation exceeded 390 mm,the SMS_(100–200)began to linearly increase.The highest grain yield(GY)were observed at T2 and T3 treatments in 2021(11.44 t ha^(-1))and 2022(11.25 t ha^(-1)),respectively.The maize GY of T4 in 2021 and T5 in 2022 were only 3.9 and 5.7%lower than the maximize GY,respectively.However,the SMS_(100–200)for T4 and T5 were 2.4 and 5.0 times that of T2 and T3 treatments in 2021 and 2022,respectively.Overall,the further increase in irrigation amounts induced only a slight decrease in grain yield,but it significantly increased deep soil moisture recharge.Therefore,the deep storage irrigation breaks through the traditional idea of water-saving irrigation with limited water resources,which can be utilized as an effective alternative to address the issues of water scarcity,low flood resources utilization,and groundwater level declines in the irrigation districts of northern China.

文摘Unsecured legacy wells pose significant risks to carbon capture and storage(CCS)as they present potential leakage pathways for stored CO_(2) to return to the atmosphere.In the UK,legacy wells must be assessed for a carbon storage permit to be granted and high-risk wells require costly remediation.We use a well risk assessment scheme to evaluate the risk of wells in the Southern North Sea.We then combine our well risk assessment with investigation using the analytical tool CO2BLOCK,which relies on a gravity current model to estimate pressure and plume migration distances.We evaluate the Viking,Camelot and Poseidon projects,which plan to inject CO_(2) into the depleted reservoirs of Southern North Sea gas fields.Carbon dioxide plumes are typically several kilometers wide,and it should be possible to avoid plume migration to high-risk legacy wells.In contrast,pressure fields produced by CO_(2) injection are tens of kilometers wide and low magnitude pressure increases frequently extend beyond the bounds of storage licence areas.The pressure fields encounter hundreds of wells and in the cases of the Camelot and Poseidon projects,interact with each other.
文摘Further investigation is warranted into the collaborative function of carbon capture and electrolysis-to-gas conversion technologies within integrated electro-gas energy systems,as well as optimized scheduling that addresses the variability of wind and solar energy,to promote multi-energy complementarity and energy decarbonization while enhancing the capacity to absorb new energy.This work presents an optimized scheduling model for electro-gas integrated energy systems that include hydrogen storage,utilizing information gap decision theory(IGDT).A model is constructed that integrates the synergistic functions of carbon capture and storage(CCS),power-to-gas(P2G),and gas turbine units through electrical coupling.A carbon ladder trading mechanism is implemented to mitigate carbon emissions inside the system.A day-ahead optimization scheduling model is subsequently built to maximize system operational profit and ensure hydrogen storage safety,while considering economic viability,low-carbon performance,and safety.Secondly,the trinitrotoluene(TNT)equivalent approach and the half-lethal range were employed to quantify the safety concerns associated with hydrogen storage tanks,offering the model optimization guidance and conservative management.Ultimately,the CCS-P2G integrated operation accounted for the unpredictability in wind and solar energy production through the application of information gap decision theory.The model was solved using the GUROBI solver.The findings indicate that the proposed approach diminishes system carbon emissions by 66%,attains complete integration of wind and solar energy,and eliminates hazardous working time for hydrogen storage tanks,reducing it from 10 h to zero.It ensures system safety while guaranteeing profits of at least 90%of the anticipated value,accounting for changes in wind and solar output within±14%.This confirms the model’s efficacy in improving renewable energy integration rates,facilitating low-carbon,cost-effective,and secure system operation,while mitigating the unpredictability of renewable energy production.

文摘Magnesium hydride(MgH_(2)) demonstrates immense potential as a solid-state hydrogen storage material,while its commercial utilization is impeded by the elevated operating temperature and sluggish reaction kinetics.Herein,a MOF derived multi-phase FeNi_(3)-S catalyst was specially designed for efficient hydrogen storage in MgH_(2).Experiments confirmed that the incorporation of FeNi_(3)-S into MgH_(2) significantly lowered the desorption temperature and accelerated the kinetics of hydrogen desorption and reabsorption.The initial dehydrogenation temperature of the MgH_(2)+10 wt% FeNi_(3)-S composite was 202 ℃,which was 123 ℃ lower than that of pure MgH_(2).At 325 ℃,the MgH_(2)+10 wt% FeNi_(3)-S composite released 6.57 wt% H_(2)(fully dehydrogenated) within 1000 s.Remarkably,MgH_(2)+ 10 wt% FeNi_(3)-S composite initiated rehydrogenation at room temperature and rapidly absorbed 2.49 wt% H_(2) within 30 min at 100 ℃.Moreover,6.3 wt% H_(2) was still retained after 20 cycles at 300 ℃,demonstrating the superior cycling performance of the MgH_(2)+10 wt% FeNi_(3)-S composite.The activation energy fitting calculations further evidenced the addition of FeNi_(3)-S enhanced the de/resorption kinetics of MgH_(2)(E_(a)= 98.6 k J/mol and 43.3 k J/mol,respectively).Through phase and microstructural analysis,it was determined that the exceptional hydrogen storage performance of the composite was attributed to the in-situ formation of Mg/Mg_(2)Ni + Fe/MgS and MgH_(2)/Mg_(2)NiH_(4)+Fe/MgS hydrogen storage systems.Further mechanistic analysis revealed that Mg_(2)Ni/Mg_(2)NiH_(4) served as “hydrogen pump” and Fe/Mg S served as “hydrogen diffusion channel”,thus accelerating the dissociation and recombination of hydrogen molecules.In conclusion,this work offers insight into catalysts combining transition metal alloys and transition metal sulfide for exerting muti-phase synergistic effect on boosting the dehydrogenation/hydrogenation reactions of MgH_(2),which can also inspire future pioneering work on designing and fabricating high efficient catalysts in other energy storage related areas.

文摘In response to the actual demands of the energy storage type organic Rankine power generation cycle,this study proposes a new type of jacketed shell and tube heat exchanger with integrated cold storage and heat exchange.N-tedecane is selected as the phase change material for cold storage,low-temperature water as the cold source,and R134a as the heat source.The phase change material for cold storage is filled inside the jacket tube of the heat exchanger.Cold fluid is introduced into the inner tube to cause the phase change material to condense and store cold.After the cold storage is completed,R134a flows in from the shell side and condenses through heat exchange with the solidified phase change material for energy storage.This study discusses the influence laws of different cold water mass flow rates and temperatures on the cold storage performance of this heat exchanger,and analyzes the condensation effect of R134a.The results show that when the mass flow rate is 0.5 kg/s and the cold water temperature is between 3 and 4℃,the average power of the energy storage heat exchanger in the condensation experiment is 80W,and the average convective heat transfer coefficient is 110.73 W/(m^(2)⋅K).This research provides an experimental basis for the development of energy storage organic Rankine power generation cycles.

文摘Sichuan sausages with moisture contents of 40%,45%,50%,and 60% were stored at-18℃for durations of 0,2,4,6,and 8 weeks to evaluate the effect of moisture content on the quality attributes of Sichuan sausages during frozen storage.Product indicators including pH,colour,thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS),total volatile basic nitrogen(TVB-N),texture,electronic nose(E-nose)response,and water-holding capacity(thawing and cooking losses)were determined.The results indicated that as storage time increased,water retention in Sichuan sausages with different moisture contents decreased,while the degree of protein and lipid oxidation increased.This led to an increase in pH value,a colour shift from red-bright to grey-brown,and a deterioration in palatability.Among the samples,sausages with 50% moisture content exhibited the lowest thawing and cooking losses,indicating superior water-holding capacity.After 8 weeks of storage,TBARS and TVB-N values for the 50% moisture group were 19.5%and 2.5%lower,respectively,than those of the 40%and 45%moisture groups,indicating a reduced degree of oxidation.Furthermore,Sichuan sausage with 50%moisture content demonstrated an appropriate pH and colour difference,along with excellent texture and flavour,as evidenced by its higher toughness and satisfactory hardness.In conclusion,Sichuan sausage with 50% moisture content demonstrated the highest overall quality under frozen storage conditions.

文摘The pursuit of high energy density and sustainable energy storage devices has been the target of many researchers.However,safety issues such as the susceptibility of conventional liquid electrolytes to leakage and flammability,as well as performance degradation due to uncontrollable dendrite growth in liquid electrolytes,have been limiting the further development of energy storage devices.In this regard,gel polymer electrolytes(GPEs)based on lignocellulosic(cellulose,hemicellulose,lignin)have attracted great interest due to their high thermal stability,excellent electrolyte wettability,and natural abundance.Therefore,in this critical review,a comprehensive overview of the current challenges faced by GPEs is presented,followed by a detailed description of the opportunities and advantages of lignocellulosic materials for the fabrication of GPEs for energy storage devices.Notably,the key properties and corresponding construction strategies of GPEs for energy storage are analyzed and discussed from the perspective of lignocellulose for the first time.Moreover,the future challenges and prospects of lignocellulose-mediated GPEs in energy storage applications are also critically reviewed and discussed.We sincerely hope this review will stimulate further research on lignocellulose-mediated GPEs in energy storage and provide meaningful directions for the strategy of designing advanced GPEs.

文摘Underground hydrogen storage has gained interest in recent years due to the enormous demand for clean energy.Hydrogen is more diffusive than air,with a smaller density and lower viscosity.These unique properties introduce distinctive hydrodynamic phenomena in hydrogen storage,one of which is fingering.Fingering could induce the fluid trapped in small clusters of pores,leading to a dramatic decrease in hydrogen saturation and a lower recovery rate.In this study,numerical simulations are performed at the microscopic scale to understand the evolution of hydrogen saturation and the impacts of injection and withdrawal cycles.Two sets of micromodels with different porosity(0.362 and 0.426)and minimum sizes of pore throats(0.362 mm and 0.181 mm)are developed in the numerical model.A parameter analysis is then conducted to understand the influence of injection velocity(in the range of 10^(-2)m/s to 10^(-5)m/s)and porous structure on the fingering pattern,followed by an image analysis to capture the evolution of the fingering pattern.Viscous fingering,capillary fingering,and crossover fingering are observed and identified under different boundary conditions.The fractal dimension,specific area,mean angle,and entropy of fingers are proposed as geometric descriptors to characterize the shape of the fingering pattern.When porosity increases from 0.362 to 0.426,the saturation of hydrogen increases by 26.2%.Narrower pore throats elevate capillary resistance,which hinders fluid invasion.These results underscore the importance of pore structures and the interaction between viscous and capillary forces for hydrogen recovery efficiency.This work illuminates the influence of the pore structures and the fluid properties on the immiscible displacement of hydrogen and can be further extended to optimize the injection strategy of hydrogen in underground hydrogen storage.

文摘Hard carbon(HC)remains a leading anode candidate for sodium-ion storage,yet its application is hindered by low initial Coulombic efficiency(ICE)and limited plateau capacity due to uncontrolled defect density and open porosity.Here,we propose a scalable dual-regulation strategy that simultaneously tunes pore mouth size and defect chemistry to enhance sodium storage performance.Using phenol-formaldehyde resin as the carbon precursor and phosphorus pentoxide(P_(2)O_(5))as a bifunctional sacrificial template and dopant source,we synthesize phosphorus-functionalized hard carbon(PF-PHC)featuring a high density of closed pores with well-confined sub-nanometer pore entrances.The in-situ sublimation of P_(2)O_(5) during pyrolysis promotes the formation of closed-pore architectures,while residual phosphorus atoms effectively passivate vacancy-type defects,thereby reducing irreversible Na+adsorption and mitigating excessive solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)formation.As a result,PF-PHC achieves an ICE of 89.3%and a plateau capacity of 289 mAh g^(−1).In-situ characterizations reveal that regulating pore mouth dimensions decouples Na+and solvent access,enabling highly selective ion transport and stable interfacial chemistry.Sodium-ion hybrid capacitors(SIHCs)assembled based on PF-PHC deliver exceptional rate performance and outstanding long-term cycling stability,retaining 98.2%after 10,000 cycles at 2 A g^(−1).This study establishes pore mouth engineering as a robust and scalable design principle for advancing next-generation HC-based sodium storage materials.
文摘Laser-induced graphene(LIG)has emerged as a versatile,sustainable material for advanced energy technologies,offering a scalable,catalyst-free,and programmable method to directly convert carbon-rich substrates into porous,conductive graphene.This single-step laser writing approach enables flexible,patternable electrodes without complex post-processing.With its high conductivity,large surface area,and tunable chemistry,LIG is well-suited for diverse applications including batteries,supercapacitors,dyesensitized solar cells(DSSCs),dual cells,water-splitting electrocatalysis,and triboelectric nanogenerators(TENGs).In energy storage,LIG improves charge transport,buffer volume changes,and provides a robust framework,enhancing capacitance,cycling stability,and rate capability.Its catalytic activity is further boosted through heteroatom doping or transition-metal incorporation,achieving HER/OER performance comparable to noble metals.In DSSCs,LIG functions as a flexible,low-cost alternative to platinum counter electrodes,while in TENGs,its strong triboelectric response and mechanical durability enable integration into self-powered,wearable systems.Despite the immense recent progress in this field,challenges remain regarding the scalability,long-term operational stability,and interfacial engineering of LIGbased composites.Further exploration into multi-laser systems,substrate diversity,and synergistic composite architectures will be crucial to optimizing device performance and reliability.Nevertheless,the green,cost-efficient,rapid,and programmable synthesis of LIG poses it as a cornerstone potential building block material in the development of future sustainable and multifunctional energy systems.Throughout the review we compare fabrication strategies,summarize performance metrics against relevant benchmarks,and identifying common mechanistic advantages conferred by the laser writing process.Remaining challenges-such as scale-up,precursor diversity,long-term environmental stability,and integration into complex device architectures-are outlined alongside prospective research directions.Collectively,this review article provides an in-depth perspective on the multifunctional nature of LIG,underscoring its promise in next-generation energy storage,conversion,harvesting applications,and laying the groundwork for future research directions.

文摘As renewable energy penetration continues to rise,enhancing power system flexibility has become a critical requirement.Photovoltaic–storage–charging stations(PSCSs)are key components for enhancing local regulation capability and promoting renewable integration.However,evaluating the adjustable capability of such hybrid stations while considering security constraints remains a major challenge.This paper first analyzes the adjustable capabilities of all the resources within such a station based on the power-energy boundary(PEB)model.Then,an optimal formulation is proposed to obtain the adjusted parameters of the aggregate feasible region(AFR)model,which embeds low-dimensional linear models within high-dimensional linear models to improve the accuracy.To solve this formulation,it is transformed using duality theory and an alternating optimization algorithm is designed to obtain the solution.Finally,a multi-station adjustable capability aggregation method considering security constraints is introduced.Simulation results verify that the proposed method effectively reduces infeasible regions and improves smoothness of aggregated boundaries,providing an accurate and practical tool for flexibility evaluation in PSCSs and offering guidance for aggregators and system planners.

文摘Although wind energy is volatile,the output of a wind-storage plant is partially dispatchable,making it a promising paradigm on the generation side.A grid-friendly wind-storage plant ought to be able to continuously output the desired power over a certain period of time.This paper proposes a dependable dynamic capacity provision scheme of a wind-storage plant over a daily horizon.It stipulates a minimum number of periods during which the committed capacity must be fulfilled and a maximum mismatch during the remaining periods when the desired power output is not achievable.In the general case,the day-ahead piecewise constant capacity provision results in a two-stage stochastic program formulated as a mixed-integer linear program.Specifically,for constant capacity provision,a decomposition algorithm is developed to determine the global optimal solution,and the complexity grows linearly with the number of scenarios.Given the committed capacity trajectory,the real-time operation problem is modeled as a four-state stochastic dynamic program.The discrete state-action values are derived recursively via the principle of optimality.Real-time dispatch actions are generated by using the action-value tabular leveraging inexact ultra-short-term forecasts.Numerical tests over one year demonstrate that the proposed method successfully fulfills reliable operation on 355 days and achieve an optimality gap of 9.47%compared with the ex-post optimum,which is comparable to model predictive control using exact 2–3-hour-ahead wind power forecasts.

文摘This paper investigates the detection and mitigation of coordinated cyberattacks on Load Frequency Control(LFC)systems integrated with Battery Energy Storage Systems(BESS).As renewable energy sources gain greater penetration,power grids are becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats,potentially leading to frequency instability and widespread disruptions.We model two significant attack vectors:load-altering attacks(LAAs)and false data injection attacks(FDIAs)that corrupt frequency measurements.These are analyzed for their impact on grid frequency stability in both linear and nonlinear LFC models,incorporating generation rate constraints and nonlinear loads.A coordinated attack strategy is presented,combining LAAs and FDIAs to achieve stealthiness by concealing frequency deviations from system operators,thereby maximizing disruption while evading traditional detection.To counteract these threats,we propose an Unknown Input Observer(UIO)-based detection framework for linear and nonlinear LFCs.The UIO is designed using linear matrix inequalities(LMIs)to estimate system states while isolating unknown attack inputs,enabling attack detection through monitoring measurement residuals against a predefined threshold.For mitigation,we leverage BESS capabilities with two adaptive strategies:dynamic mitigation for dynamic LAAs,which tunes BESS parameters to enhance the system’s stability margin and accelerate convergence to equilibrium;and staticmitigation for static LAAs and FDIAs.Simulations show that the UIO achieves high detection accuracy,with residuals exceeding thresholds promptly under coordinated attacks,even in nonlinear models.Mitigation strategies reduce frequency deviations by up to 80%compared to unmitigated cases,restoring stability within seconds.
