Numerical study on laminar burning velocity of ammonia flame with methanol addition

The combustion characteristics of ammonia/methanol mixtures were investigated numerically in this study. Methanol has a dramatic promotive effect on the laminar burning velocity (LBV) of ammonia. Three mechanisms from literature and another four self-developed mechanisms constructed in this study were evaluated using the measured laminar burning velocities of ammonia/methanol mixtures from Wang et al. (Combust.Flame. 2021). Generally, none of the selected mechanisms can precisely predict the measured laminar burning velocities at all conditions. Aiming to develop a simplified and reliable mechanism for ammonia/methanol mixtures, the constructed mechanism utilized NUI Galway mechanism (Combust.Flame. 2016) as methanol sub-mechanism and the Otomo mechanism (Int. J. Hydrogen. Energy. 2018) as ammonia sub-mechanism was optimized and reduced. The reduced mechanism entitled ‘DNO-NH3’, can accurately reproduce the measured laminar burning velocities of ammonia/methanol mixtures under all conditions. A reaction path analysis of the ammonia/methanol mixtures based on the DNO-NH3 mechanism shows that methanol is not directly involved in ammonia oxidation, instead, the produced methyl radicals from methanol oxidization contribute to the dehydrogenation of ammonia. Besides, NO_x emission analysis demonstrates that 60% methanol addition results in the highest NO_x emissions. The most important reactions dominating the NO_x consumption and production are identified in this study.     

Multi-skeletal PtPdNi nanodendrites as efficient electrocatalyst with high activity and durability towards oxygen reduction reaction

Engineering alloy nanostructures with a combination of highly active noble metals (Pt and Pd) and less electronegative non-noble metal (Ni) is found to be crucial for improving surface reactivity by enriching with active Pt sites. Herein, a multi-skeletal PtPdNi nanodendrites (NDs) was successfully formed by a simple one-pot method with structure directing agent. The modification of Pt electronic structure and their interaction due to compressive strain were explored using benchmark characterization techniques, which showed that the PtPdNi NDs possess Pt-enriched surface, corroborating to more active catalyst sites for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acidic medium. The PtPdNi NDs have a higher electrochemical surface area (63 m² g^?1) and an earlier onset potential (1.01 V) than PtPd NDs, PtNi NDs, and commercial Pt/C catalysts, indicating the outstanding ORR performance. The high mass and specific activities, as well as superior durability after accelerated degradation test (ADT), highlight the remarkable electrocatalytic performance of PtPdNi NDs over others. As a result, enhancing Pt utilization through the formation of PtPdNi NDs could be a reliable strategy to improve ORR electrocatalysis for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) applications.     

Multi-objective planning and optimization of microgrid lithium iron phosphate battery energy storage system consider power supply status and CCER transactions

Lithium iron phosphate battery (LIPB) is the key equipment of battery energy storage system (BESS), which plays a major role in promoting the economic and stable operation of microgrid. Based on the advancement of LIPB technology and efficient consumption of renewable energy, two power supply planning strategies and the china certified emission reduction (CCER) model are proposed respectively. Based on it, the multi-objective planning optimization model with economic benefits, environmental benefits and power supply stability as the objective function is established for the first time, and the Newton Weighted Sum Frisch method (NWSFA) solution model is adopted. In the planning process, rain flow counting method is used to research the life of BESS, which improves the accuracy of energy storage annual cost calculation. A park in northern China is taken as a case study to demonstrate the application of this model. The simulation results show that the annual economic operating cost of BESS is decreased by 18.81%, the energy supply reliability is increased by 0.15%, and the optimal electricity price adjustment ratio of the system is 15%.

Evaluation of a sulfidogenic system fed with microalgal biomass of Chlorella pyrenoidosa as an electron donor: Sulfate reduction kinetics

In this study, a sulfidogenic reactor fed with microalgal biomass of Chlorella pyrenoidosa as an electron donor was operated in a continuous mode. This study evaluated the influence of various initial sulfate concentration from 1.0 to 2.5 g/L on anaerobic sulfate reduction kinetics by a sulfidogenic enrichment culture predominantly Desulfovibrio sp. VSV2. It was observed that volumetric sulfate reduction rate (VSRR) was consistently increasing with an increase in volumetric sulfate loading rate (VSLR) across the retention time of 7–10 days. For a retention time of 7 days, the maximum VSRR was noted as 0.0050 g/(L.h) with a corresponding VSLR of 0.0089 g/(L.h). When retention time was maintained for 10 days, a maximum sulfate reduction of 65% and a maximum bacterial concentration of 1.632 g/L were achieved for an initial sulfate concentration of 1.5 g/L. It was concluded that VSLR facilitated through both dilution rate and initial sulfate concentration had a significant influence over sulfate reduction kinetics. The results of the study suggested that the microalgal-fed sulfidogenic system could be effectively employed for reduction of sulfate from sulfate-rich wastewater.     

Synthesis of hollow Fe,Co, and N-doped carbon catalysts from conducting polymer-metal-organic-frameworks core-shell particles for their application in an oxygen reduction reaction

Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), one of the key reactions for fuel cells and zinc-air batteries, should be improved for higher performance. Herein, we fabricated hollow Fe, Co, and nitrogen co-doped carbon (H-FeCo-NC) catalyst, which was prepared by carbonization of core-shell particles made of polypyrrole (PPy)-coated polystyrene (PS) spheres as cores and (Zn, Co) bimetallic-zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZnCoBZIFs) as shells. PPy was used as a nitrogen and a carbon source. The H-FeCo-NC catalyst had a high surface area of 324.08 m² g^?1 with uniformly distributed Fe and Co species, and excellent ORR performance with the half-wave potential of 0.888 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode in alkaline media. Furthermore, the H-FeCo-NC catalyst demonstrated exceptional stability, durability, and tolerance to methanol crossover.     

Morphological influence of graphitic carbon nanofibers by N–F dual-doping on Pt electrocatalytic activity and stability for oxygen reduction reaction in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells

Morphology of carbon nanofibers significantly effects Pt nanoparticles dispersion and specific interaction with the support, which is an important aspect in the fuel cell performance of the electrocatalysts. This study emphasizes, the defects creation and structural evolution comprised due to N–F co-doping on graphitic carbon nanofibers (GNFs) of different morphologies, viz. GNF-linearly aligned platelets (L), antlers (A), herringbone (H), and their specific interaction with Pt nanoparticle in enhancing the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). GNFs–NF–Pt catalysts exhibit better ORR electrocatalytic activity, superior durability that is solely ascribed to the morphological evolution and the doped N–F heteroatoms, prompting the charge density variations in the resultant carbon fiber matrices. Amongst, H–NF–Pt catalyst performed outstanding ORR activity with exceptional electrochemical stability, which shows only 20 mV loss in the half-wave potential whilst 100 mV loss for Pt/C catalyst on 20,000 potential cycling. The PEMFC comprising H–NF–Pt as cathode catalyst with minimum loading of 0.10 mg cm^?2, delivers power density of 0.942 W cm^?2 at current density of 2.50 A cm^?2 without backpressures in H₂–O₂ feeds. The H–NF–Pt catalyst owing to its hierarchical architectures, performs well in PEMFC at the minimized catalyst loading with outstanding stability that can significantly decrease total price for the fuel cell.     

A viable approach to prepare 3C-SiC coatings by thermal MOCVD using commercial grade precursors

A series of 3 C-SiC coatings were prepared by organometallic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using precursor solution containing a varying proportion of commercial-grade hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and n-hexane. The phase composition, bonding state, and microstructure of 3 C-SiC coatings were studied in detail by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microstructure and mechanical properties of the optimal 3 C-SiC coating were characterized by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and nanoindentation, respectively. Our results revealed that the amount of undesired graphite phase can be significantly reduced in the 3 C-SiC coating by introducing hydrogen gas in the reaction chamber alongside increasing the ratio of HMDSO/n-hexane in the precursor mixture. The STEM results revealed that the optimal coating was predominantly composed of nano-crystalline 3 C-SiC grains alongside a small amount of amorphous graphite. The hardness and elastic modulus of the optimal coating were 38.19 GPa and 363.2 GPa, respectively.     

Microscopic Methods for Identification of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria from Various Habitats

This paper is devoted to microscopic methods for the identification of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). In this context, it describes various habitats, morphology and techniques used for the detection and identification of this very heterogeneous group of anaerobic microorganisms. SRB are present in almost every habitat on Earth, including freshwater and marine water, soils, sediments or animals. In the oil, water and gas industries, they can cause considerable economic losses due to their hydrogen sulfide production; in periodontal lesions and the colon of humans, they can cause health complications. Although the role of these bacteria in inflammatory bowel diseases is not entirely known yet, their presence is increased in patients and produced hydrogen sulfide has a cytotoxic effect. For these reasons, methods for the detection of these microorganisms were described. Apart from selected molecular techniques, including metagenomics, fluorescence microscopy was one of the applied methods. Especially fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in various modifications was described. This method enables visual identification of SRB, determining their abundance and spatial distribution in environmental biofilms and gut samples.
