Recent development shows that carbon-based composites are proving to be the most promising materials in hydrogen energy production storage and conversion applications. In this study composites of the copper-based metal-organic framework with different ratios of graphite oxide have been prepared for hydrogen storage application. The developed materials are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) gravimetric thermal analysis (TGA) scanning e Read More

Ammonia borane (AB) can be catalytically hydrolyzed to provide hydrogen at room temperature due to its high potentaial for hydrogen storage. Non-precious metal heterogeneous catalysts have broad application in the field of energy catalysis. In this article catalysts precursor is obtained from Co-Ti-resorcinol-formaldehyde resin by sol–gel method. Co/TiO2@N-C (CTC) catalyst is prepared by calcining the precursor under high temperature con Read More

Large-scale energy storage and the utilization of biomass as a sustainable carbon source are global challenges of this century. The reversible storage of hydrogen covalently bound in chemical compounds is a particularly promising energy storage technology. For this compounds that can be sustainably synthesized and that permit high-weight% hydrogen storage would be highly desirable. Herein we report that catalytically modified lignin an indige Read More

This paper presents a novel system design that considerably improves the entrapment of terrestrial ultraviolet (UV) irradiance in a customized honeycomb structure to produce hydrogen at a standard rate of 7.57 slpm for places with a UV index > 11. Thermolysis of high salinity water is done by employing a solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) which comprises three customized novel active optical subsystems to filter track and concentrate terrestrial UV sola Read More

Photocatalysts lead vitally to water purifications and decarbonise environment each by wastewater treatment and hydrogen (H2 ) production as a renewable energy source from waterphotolysis. This work deals with the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and H2 production by novel silver-nanoparticle (AgNPs) based ternary-nanocomposites of thiolated reducegraphene oxide graphitic carbon nitride (AgNPs-S-rGO2%@g-C3N4 ) material. Herein t Read More

Industrial sectors pivotal for the economic prosperity of nations rely heavily on affordable reliable and environmentally friendly energy sources. Industries like iron and steel oil refineries and coal-fired power plants while instrumental to national economies are also the most significant contributors to waste gases that contain substantial volumes of carbon monoxide (CO). CO can be converted to a highly efficient and carbon free fuel hydrogen (H2) through Read More

The environment is seriously threatened by the rising energy demand and the use of conventional energy sources. Renewable energy sources including hydro solar and wind have been the focus of extensive research due to the proliferation of energy demands and technological advancement. Wind energy is mostly harvested in coastal areas and little work has been done on energy extraction from winds in a suburban environment. The fickle behavior Read More

At present the energy shortage and environmental pollution are the burning global issues. For centuries fossil fuels have been used to meet worldwide energy demand. However thousands of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned contributing to global warming. Therefore green energy must replace fossil fuels and hydrogen is a prime choice. Photocatalytic water splitting (PWS) under solar irradiation could Read More

Rapid industrialization is consuming too much energy and non-renewable energy resources are currently supplying the world’s majority of energy requirements. As a result the global energy mix is being pushed towards renewable and sustainable energy sources by the world’s future energy plan and climate change. Thus hydrogen has been suggested as a potential energy source for sustainable development. Currently the production of hydrog Read More

To address climate change energy security and waste management new sustainable energy sources must be developed. This study uses Aspen Plus software to extract bio-H2 from food waste with the goal of efficiency and environmental sustainability. Anaerobic digestion optimised to operate at 20-25°C and keep ammonia at 3% greatly boosted biogas production. The solvent [Emim][FAP] which is based on imidazolium had excellent performance in purifyin Read More
