Recent advances in the green synthesis of N i‐based catalysts for biomass hydrogenation: A review

Abstract To mitigate fossil energy depletion and environmental pollution, hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of biomass into hydrocarbon biofuels has emerged as a crucial pathway for energy transition. Ni‐based catalysts hold great promise for industrial applications owing to their abundan...

Phase-change-storage dual-heat-source thermoelectric system for photovoltaic-diesel waste-heat complementation

Photovoltaic (PV) modules suffer from efficiency losses of 0.4–0.5% per °C temperature rise, while diesel engines discharge approximately 30% of fuel energy as exhaust waste heat, both issues remaining largely unaddressed in standalone systems. This study designed a dual-heat-sou...

Design, simulation and experimental validation of a single-shot piston burner for adjustable diesel PM generation toward confined space deposition

Diesel combustion particulate matter (PM) poses severe environmental and health risks, but the laboratory-scale batch-type, quantitative, and stable generation of diesel PM remain challenging due to the lack of dedicated generators. Here a single-shot piston burner was proposed,...
