Hydrogen generation from photocatalytic hydrolysis of alkali‐metal borohydrides

Xi Lin, Qian Li, Yuepeng Pang

International Journal of Energy Research > 41 > 9 > 1342 - 1350

The controllable photocatalytic hydrolysis of alkali‐metal borohydrides is studied for hydrogen generation in this work. The results indicate that the photocatalysis of P25 TiO₂ controllably promotes the hydrogen generation rates from alkali‐metal borohydride hydrolysis. Its apparent activation energy is calculated to be reduced from 57.20 to 53.86 kJ mol⁻¹. This is due to the mechanism of photocatalytic...

Experimental study on hydrodynamic performance of a wave energy converter within multi‐heaving‐buoys

Zhen Liu, Na Qu, Hongda Shi

International Journal of Energy Research > 41 > 9 > 1351 - 1366

A compact buoy‐array‐type wave energy converter called multi‐heaving‐buoys (MHB) is introduced in this study. The hydrodynamic performance of MHB under regular wave conditions was first investigated experimentally in a wave tank located in Ocean University of China. It was found that a limited number of heaving buoys had little effect on the wave fields around the device. The small period of the incident...

A review on sediment microbial fuel cells as a new source of sustainable energy and heavy metal remediation: mechanisms and future prospective

Syed Zaghum Abbas, Mohd Rafatullah, Norli Ismail, Muhammad Izzuddin Syakir

International Journal of Energy Research > 41 > 9 > 1242 - 1264

Sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) are different from microbial fuel cells because they are completely anoxic and lack a membrane. SMFCs are a novel technology for the simultaneous production of renewable energy and bioremediation of heavy metals. Recently, SMFCs have attracted the attention of many researchers because of their moderate functioning parameters and ability to use a range of biodegradable...

Stability study of Bi‐2212 conductor based on perturbation spectrum for hybrid superconducting magnet

Rui Kang, Jinxing Zheng, Yuntao Song, Lei Wang, more

International Journal of Energy Research > 41 > 9 > 1277 - 1286

A hybrid superconducting central solenoid employs Bi‐2212 high‐temperature superconductors and Nb3Sn low‐temperature superconductors under the design of the Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy Of Science for further upgrade to CFETR, namely, the China Fusion Engineering Testing Reactor. The conductor type of both parts is cable‐in‐conduit conductors. This paper mainly focuses on stability...

Photoresponse of novel mixed metal chalcogenide MoSb_2‐xCu_xSe₄/CdS thin film solar cells fabricated by CBD method using citric acid

Joy Jeba Vijila J., Henry J., Daniel T., Mohanraj K., more

International Journal of Energy Research > 41 > 9 > 1295 - 1309

In this present work, novel MoSb_2‐xCu_xSe₄ thin films were prepared for different copper concentrations (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 M) by a simple chemical bath deposition method. XRD patterns revealed the phase conversion of orthorhombic Sb₂Se₃ into Cu₃SbSe₃ by the incorporation of copper content with successive peak shift towards higher angles. Average crystallite was found to be 8, 17 and 25 nm for...

Research on the influence of PV cell to thermal characteristics of photovoltaic/thermal solar system

Yongtai He, Lixian Xiao, Lei Li

International Journal of Energy Research > 41 > 9 > 1287 - 1294

In the paper, we analyzed internal thermal transmission characteristics of water‐heating photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) solar collector covered by photovoltaic (PV) cell, established photothermal conversion model of PV/T solar system, and analyzed the influence of PV cell coverage to photothermal characteristics of PV/T solar system. Results show that the thermal efficiency of PV/T solar system by optimizing...

Progress in high performance, low emissions, and exergy recovery in internal combustion engines

Plamen Punov, Teodossi Evtimov, Radu Chiriac, Adrian Clenci, more

International Journal of Energy Research > 41 > 9 > 1229 - 1241

This article first gives a brief review of thermal engines designed for terrestrial transportation since the 1900s. We then outline the main developments in the state of the art and knowledge about internal combustion engines, focusing on the increasingly stringent pollution constraints imposed since the 1990s. The general concept of high‐energy performance machines is analyzed from the energy, exergy,...

Reactor core transient analysis of an innovative high‐level nuclear waste transmuter with metal fuel

Youqi Zheng, Mingtao He, Liangzhi Cao, Hongchun Wu, more

International Journal of Energy Research > 41 > 9 > 1322 - 1334

For the sustainable development of nuclear energy, reducing high‐level nuclear wastes in spent fuels discharged from commercial nuclear power plants is very important. Partitioning and transmutation of minor actinides from these spent fuels are critical for the effective disposal of high‐level wastes. However, transmutation in current operational reactors is not efficient and brings some safety problems...

A new state‐of‐charge estimation method for electric vehicle lithium‐ion batteries based on multiple input parameter fitting model

Xintian Liu, Yao He, Xinxin Zheng, Jiangfeng Zhang, more

International Journal of Energy Research > 41 > 9 > 1265 - 1276

The estimation of state‐of‐charge (SOC) is crucial to determine the remaining capacity of the Lithium‐Ion battery, and thus plays an important role in many electric vehicle control and energy storage management problems. The accuracy of the estimated SOC depends mostly on the accuracy of the battery model, which is mainly affected by factors like temperature, State of Health (SOH), and chemical reactions...

Flexible sodium‐ion supercapacitor based on polypyrrole/carbon electrode by use of harmless aqueous electrolyte for wearable devices

Kyung‐Lyul Bae, Kyoungho Kim

International Journal of Energy Research > 41 > 9 > 1335 - 1341

With the emergence of various wearable devices, supercapacitors have gained immense attention because of their fast response rates. However, most supercapacitors use hazardous electrolyte materials, such as H₂SO₄, KOH, and acetonitrile. Leakage of these types of electrolytes during use would be very harmful to human skin. Therefore, a supercapacitor that does not employ hazardous materials is an attractive...
