Ammonia, as a carbonless carrier of energy, presents considerable potential for hydrogen storage and production, as well as for power generation, thanks to its high energy density and relatively easy transportability. However, the practical adoption of ammonia in combustion systems faces major stability challenges—chiefly its low reactivity, slow laminar burning velocity, narrow flammability envelope, and high ignition temperature. These attributes increase the risks of flame instability, misfire, and incomplete combustion, which, in turn, can elevate levels of unburned ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions such as NOx—posing significant health and climate concerns. Stable ammonia combustion demands optimization of several interrelated factors: the air–fuel equivalence ratio, flame temperature, flow regime, and combustor design are critical for maintaining reliable operation. Particularly pivotal is the control of the air–fuel equivalence ratio; excessively lean conditions can trigger flameout. Modern systems utilize real-time monitoring of flame and exhaust properties to diagnose and prevent instabilities. Advanced combustion strategies, such as transitioning to diffusion or flameless (MILD) regimes, substantially expand the stable operating window, especially under lean conditions. Overall, sustaining stable ammonia combustion is essential for maximizing efficiency and emission control, and integrating aftertreatment (deNOx) technologies is crucial for sustainable, clean-energy implementation.

This study presents an experimental performance evaluation of an oil-based indirect solar fryer system designed for injera baking. The system consists of a receiver vessel, a closed-loop delivery and return pipe network, and a 60 cm diameter aluminum baking plate with spiral grooves on its bottom surface. Heat transfer oil circulates within the closed loop to transfer thermal energy from the receiver to the baking plate. The system was experimentally investigated under controlled electrical heating conditions using input power levels of 1.0, 1.3, 1.6, 1.75, 2.0, and 2.4 kW, representing equivalent solar thermal input scenarios with varying intensity. The results confirmed the technical feasibility of the system for injera baking across all tested conditions, with performance strongly dependent on input power. At higher input levels (≥2.0 kW), faster heating and shorter baking cycles of approximately 2.5–3 min were achieved; however, increased oil temperatures and thermal instability were observed due to limited heat redistribution within the fixed low-flow circulation system. At lower input levels (≤1.3 kW), the system remained thermally stable but exhibited long initial heating times (up to approximately 85 min) and reduced operational efficiency, limiting its practical applicability. The most balanced performance was observed at intermediate input power levels of 1.6–1.75 kW, where the system achieved approximately 45–60 min initial heating time, stable temperature behavior during operation, and consistent baking cycles of about 3 min with 1 min reheating time. This range provided an optimal compromise between thermal efficiency, operational stability, and energy utilization under the present configuration. Overall, the study demonstrates that the indirect solar fryer system is a promising alternative for energy-efficient injera baking; however, performance is strongly influenced by thermal input and circulation conditions, highlighting the need for further optimization and validation under real solar operating environments.

Against the backdrop of China’s dual carbon goals (carbon peaking and carbon neutrality), hydrogen energy has emerged as a key strategic priority for Shanxi’s energy transformation. Understanding the carbon emission characteristics and mitigation potential of typical hydrogen production routes is essential for guiding the low-carbon development of the local hydrogen industry. This study applies a unified life cycle assessment (LCA) framework to evaluate five representative hydrogen production routes in Shanxi. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to assess the robustness of the results. The results show marked differences in carbon intensity across routes: large-scale integrated coal gasification hydrogen production (LICGHP, 10.02 kg CO2e/kg-H2) > commercial coal gasification hydrogen production (CCGHP, 9.35 kg CO2e/kg-H2) > photovoltaic hydrogen production (PHP, 6.17 kg CO2e/kg-H2) > coke oven gas hydrogen production (COGHP, 3.83 kg CO2e/kg-H2) > wind power hydrogen production (WPHP, 1.57 kg CO2e/kg-H2). For coal-based routes, emissions are concentrated in the operational phase, whereas for renewable routes, emissions are concentrated in the construction phase with near-zero emissions during operation. COGHP (61.78% mitigation rate) serves as an effective transitional pathway, and WPHP (84.33% mitigation rate) represents the best low-carbon option. Mitigation strategies vary by route: coal-based routes prioritize CCS and process optimization, while renewable energy routes focus on supply chain decarbonization and green construction. These findings offer scientific support for Shanxi’s hydrogen energy technology selection and low-carbon strategy formulation. Full article

Ensuring the required microclimate parameters is the most critical task in hot climates. In pig farms, air cooling is provided by means of steam-compression chillers or evaporative cooling, which is the simplest way to cool the air. The implementation of evaporative cooling depends largely on the interaction of the media involved in this process. This paper considers the process of interaction of cooling water with the surface of a cellular polycarbonate heat exchanger. A mathematical model describing the process of wetting the sprayed surface of the heat exchanger is obtained. The authors determined the theoretical water flow rate required to provide air cooling for a given operation mode. Experimental trials of a recuperative heat recovery unit with a heat exchanger made of cellular polycarbonate equipped with a water evaporative cooling system were carried out. The authors conducted a comparative assessment to evaluate the effectiveness of evaporative cooling in a heat recovery unit equipped with a polycarbonate heat exchanger versus panel evaporative systems using wetted paper pads at pig farms in the Vladimir and Tambov regions of Russia. The panel evaporative coolers provided a temperature reduction of 11.3 °C without any splashing effect. Under the same operating conditions, the heat recovery unit achieved an inlet air temperature reduction of 10.5 °C, accompanied by splashing. When the water flow rate supplied for evaporation was reduced until the splashing ceased, the cooling temperature drop decreased to 10.1 °C, which is 11% lower, compared with the paper pads. The study revealed characteristic operating modes for the unit that ensure effective air cooling, depending on the cooling water flow rate. Since the prevailing temperature during the system’s main operating time is significantly lower than the design temperature (the absolute temperature maximum), to achieve effective cooling of the supply air without splashing or excessive water waste, the cooling circuit water should circulate at a flow rate within 40 to 63% of the maximum design value. Alternatively, an automated control system should be employed to regulate the water supply based on outdoor air temperature and humidity. Full article

Double complex salts (DCSs) of the composition [Co(NH3)6][Fe(CN)6] are a promising precursor for the preparation of catalysts for the hydrogenation of carbon oxides (CO and CO2) by Fischer–Tropsch synthesis. The specific surface area is an important parameter for catalysts. Our article investigates the influence of mechanochemical activation (MCA) on this DCS in order to determine the conditions for obtaining the largest specific surface area of the intermetallic compound, a product of the DCS thermolysis. In this work, the effect of MCA on the physicochemical properties of the DCS [Co(NH3)6][Fe(CN)6] and the products of its thermal decomposition in an argon atmosphere were investigated. It was shown that MCA leads to partial reduction of Fe+3 to Fe+2, changes in the coordination of ammonia, amorphization of the structure and a decrease in the thermal stability of DCS. Thermolysis at 650 °C of samples subjected to MCA for 10 min results in the formation of nanocrystalline intermetallic compound Co0.5Fe0.5. The results demonstrate the potential of using MCA to control the properties of functional materials based on DCS. Full article

The method of obtaining functional materials almost always influences the physicochemical properties of the resulting substances. The plasma treatment of solid materials is considered to be a more energy efficient method when compared with thermal destruction. Our work is the first to treat double complex salt (DCS) [Co(NH3)6][Fe(CN)6] with different plasma discharge modes. We have demonstrated the possibility of obtaining a single-phase spinel with a CoFe2O4 structure as a result of the calcination in air of the plasma destruction product. The crystallite sizes of the obtained spinel are 40 nm, with a lattice constant 8.38 Å. Full article

Hydrogen production through electrolysis of water can achieve efficient, stable and diversified utilization of renewable energy. To this end, a hybrid electrolyzer system for hydrogen production based on bi-layer optimization is constructed. Firstly, the wind and photovoltaic power is decomposed into high-frequency and low-frequency components by an adaptive wavelet packet. The low-frequency power is allocated to the alkaline electrolyzers (AWE) to ensure its stability, and the high-frequency power is allocated to the proton exchange membrane electrolyzers (PEM) with a faster response characteristic, thereby improving the energy utilization rate. This paper proposes a bi-layer optimization model, in which the upper-layer objective is to minimize the cost of mixed hydrogen production, and the lower-layer optimization objective is to maximize the utilization rate of renewable energy. The differential evolution algorithm optimizes the upper-layer objective, with results sent to the lower layer. Then, the YALMIP toolbox is used to solve the lower-layer objective. Through case analysis, the optimal proportion of AWE and PEM hydrogen electrolyzers obtained by this optimization method is 89.5 and 10.5, respectively. Compared with a single type of electrolyzer, the method proposed in this paper effectively improves the energy utilization efficiency and reduces the cost of hydrogen production. Full article

To explore the feasibility of renewable hybrid energy systems for expressway infrastructure, this study proposes a scenario-based design methodology integrating solar, wind, and hydropower resources within the expressway corridor. A case study was conducted on a highway service area located in southern China, where a solar/wind/hydro hybrid energy system was developed based on the proposed approach. Using the HOMER Pro 3.14 software platform, the system was simulated and optimized under off-grid conditions, and a sensitivity analysis was conducted to evaluate performance variability. The results demonstrate that the strategic integration of corridor-based natural resources—solar irradiance, wind energy, and hydrodynamic potential—enables the construction of a technically and economically viable hybrid energy system. The system includes 382 kW of PV, 210 kW of wind, 80 kW of hydrokinetic power, a 500 kW diesel generator, and 180 kWh of battery storage, forming a hybrid configuration for a stable and reliable energy supply. The optimized configuration can supply up to 1,095,920 kWh of electricity annually at a minimum levelized cost of energy of USD 0.22/kWh. This system reduces CO2 emissions by 23.2 tons/year and NOx emissions by 23 kg/year. demonstrating strong environmental performance and long-term sustainability potential. Full article

Renewable energy sources are critical to the global effort to achieve carbon neutrality. Alongside hydropower, wind and nuclear plants, the photovoltaic (PV) systems developed greatly, with new PV technologies emerging in recent years. Although the conversion efficiencies are improving and the materials used have a lower impact on the environment, the feasibility of these technologies is required to be assessed. This paper proposes a levelized cost of energy (LCOE) model to assess the feasibility of five PV technologies: high-efficiency silicon heterojunction cells (HJT), N-type monocrystalline silicon cells (N-type), P-type passivated emitter and rear contact cells (PERC), N-type tunnel oxide passivated contact cells (TOPCon) and bifacial TOPCon. The LCOE considers capital investment, government incentives, operation and maintenance costs, residual value of PV modules and total energy output during the PV system’s life span. To determine the influence of PV system’s capacity over the LCOE values, three systems are analyzed for each technology: 3 kW, 5 kW and 7 kW. The results show that the largest PV systems have the lowest LCOE values, ranging from 2.39 c€/kWh (TOPCon) to 2.92 c€/kWh (HJT) when incentives are accessed, and ranging from 6.05 c€/kWh (TOPCon) to 6.51 c€/kWh (HJT) without subsidies. The 3 kW and 5 kW PV systems have higher LCOE values due to lower energy output during lifetime. Full article

Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) represent a promising pathway for energy conversion, yet their reliance on platinum-group metal (PGM)-based anode catalysts poses critical sustainability challenges, which stem from finite mineral reserves, environmentally detrimental extraction processes, and prohibitive lifecycle costs. Current anode catalysts for DMFCs are dominated by platinum materials; therefore, this review systematically evaluates the following three emerging eco-efficient design paradigms using platinum materials as a starting point: (1) the atomic-level optimization of low-Pt alloy surfaces to maximize catalytic efficiency per metal atom, (2) Earth-abundant transition metal compounds (e.g., nitrides and sulfides) and coordination-tunable metal–organic frameworks as viable PGM-free alternatives, and (3) mechanically robust carbon architectures with engineered topological defects that enhance catalyst stability through covalent metal–carbon interactions. Through comparative analysis with pure Pt benchmarks, we critically examine how these strategic material innovations collectively mitigate CO intermediate poisoning risks and improve electrochemical durability. Such fundamental advances in catalyst design not only address immediate technical barriers, but also establish essential material foundations for the development of DMFC technologies compatible with circular economy frameworks and United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 7 targets.

To achieve the precise quantification and real-time monitoring of CO2 emissions from stationary sources, this study developed a Gaussian plume model-based dispersion framework incorporating emission characteristics. Critical factors affecting CO2 dispersion were systematically analyzed, with model optimization conducted through plume rise height adjustments and reflection coefficient calibrations. MATLAB-based simulations on an industrial park case study demonstrated that wind speed, atmospheric stability, and effective release height constituted pivotal determinants for enhancing CO2 dispersion modeling accuracy. Furthermore, the inverse estimation of source strength at emission terminals was implemented via particle swarm optimization, establishing both theoretical foundations and methodological frameworks for the precision monitoring and predictive dispersion analysis of stationary-source CO2 emissions.
