Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is a promising and versatile technology for the conversion of a variety of wet biomass streams into renewable natural gas. In this work, the focus was set on methane production with the help of an active and stable m ...
Photoelectrodes enable simultaneous light absorption and catalysis of water splitting reactions. Their performance is established using electrochemical characterisation methods. Besides basic characterisation techniques such as voltammetry and chronoampero ...
A varying degree of eccentricity always exists in the initial configuration of a nuclear fuel rod. Its impact on traditional LWR fuel is limited as the radial gap closes relatively early during irradiation. However, the effect of misalignment is expected t ...
With the future decarbonization of the electricity production, gas turbines will be an important tool for the stabilization of the electricity grid by meeting the peak of energy demand using zero-carbon fuels like synthetic gas and hydrogen.The combustion ...
The storage of renewable energy is crucial for the substitution of fossil fuels with renewable energy. Hydrogen is the first step in the conversion of electricity from renewable sources to an energy carrier. However, hydrogen is technically and economicall ...
In the present work, photocatalytic degradations of o-nitrophenol (ONP) and p-nitrophenol (PNP) were carried out using CoO-Fe2O3@SiO2@TiO2 nanocomposite as an efficient and cost-effective photocatalyst under simulated solar irradiation. Due to the acid-bas ...
Conversion of CO2 into valuable compounds, including fuels, with renewable energy sources and sustainable compounds is a challenge addressed by artificial photosynthesis research. In particular, the application of solar assisted electrochemical (EC) proces ...
Overall urea electrolysis has favorable thermodynamic properties and can complement traditional water splitting by simultaneously purifying urea-rich waste streams. However, the kinetics of the reaction is slow and more efficient catalysts are required. In ...
A "waste-valorization" approach was developed to transform recalcitrant hydrolysis lignin (HL) from secondgeneration bioethanol production into multifunctional bio-based products. The hydrolysis lignin (HL) was extracted with aqueous acetone, yielding two ...
Synthesis gas production through the catalytic reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction is an attractive option for the conversion of CO2 to fuels. Many metal-based catalysts have been introduced for this reaction in order to provide high activity, CO selec ...
