A lignocellulosic ethanol strategy via nonenzymatic sugar production: Process synthesis and analysis

The work develops a strategy for the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. In this strategy, the cellulose and hemicellulose fractions are simultaneously converted to sugars using a γ-valerolactone (GVL) solvent containing a dilute acid catal ...

Round-the-clock power supply and a sustainable economy via synergistic integration of solar thermal power and hydrogen processes

François Maréchal, Rakesh Agrawal

We introduce a paradigm-"hydricity"-that involves the coproduction of hydrogen and electricity from solar thermal energy and their judicious use to enable a sustainable economy. We identify and implement synergistic integrations while improving each of the ...

Prediction of vehicle activity for emissions estimation under oversaturated conditions along signalized arterials

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Eleni Christofa

The traditional methodology for estimating vehicle emissions based on vehicle miles traveled and average speed is not reliable because it does not consider the effects of congestion, control devices, and driving mode (cruise, acceleration, deceleration, an ...

Neodymium-deficient nickelate oxide Nd1.95NiO4+ı as cathode material for anode-supported intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells

Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm

The neodymium-deficient nickelate Nd1.95NiO4+ı, mixed conducting K2NiF4-type oxide, was evaluated as cathode for solid oxide fuel cells. The electrochemical properties were investigated on planar Ni–YSZ anode-supported SOFC based on co-tape casted and co-f ...
