In electroplating, a thin layer of one metal is deposited onto the surface of another metal to make it shiny, smooth, and corrosion-resistant. With these practical applications, students can understand the relevance and significance of the subject in various industries and everyday life. This ...
electrolysis, fuel cells for converting hydrogen to electricity, and lithium-ion or metal-air batteries for energy storage have drawn a great deal of attention in recent decades [5]. For the battery-based energy storage, it is increasingly difficult to store excess electricity from a large-scale...
“I am very pleased that H-TEC SYSTEMS is at the forefront of this development. MAN Energy Solutions plans to invest 500 million euros in electrolyzer production during the next few years in order to make H-TEC SYSTEMS one of the world’s top 3 manufacturers.” New facility in Victoria Pa...
Thus, the awareness of climate change and the need to develop alternative energy sources have led to a significant growth of the RES. Currently, the largest amount of electric energy is produced in thermoelectric power plants using traditional resources. The world total primary energy supply (TPES...
Energy and environment are two key issues in modern society which are necessities for the economic and social sustainable development of the world [1,2]. In 2018, there is 79.5% energy economy that relies on conventional energy sources such as coal, petroleum oil, and natural gas, which are...
These studies predominantly analyze the greenhouse gas reduction effects of new materials and technologies in sectors known for high emissions, such as the construction, transportation, and steel industries. While there is extensive research on the greenhouse gas emissions and reduction effects of using ...
Currently, total global hydrogen production is about 500 billion cubic meters (bcm), with the produced hydrogen being extensively used in petroleum refining processes, in the petrochemical and chemical industries, in fuel cells, and in the fertilizer industry. Most of the hydrogen (about 96%) is...
