Electrocatalytic conversion of methane is an efficient and green pathway proceeding under mild conditions. However, the low solubility of methane in aqueous electrolytes imposes mass transfer limitations, leading to low current densities in electrocatalytic reactions and hindering large-scale production. This paper discusses the recent progress in quite a few aspects of electrocatalytic conversion of methane. Firstly, the reaction mechanisms involved in methane electrocatalysis are summarized, including dehydrogenation and C–H bond cleavage mediated by the active species. Next, we discuss how to promote electrochemical methane conversion regarding both the reaction process and mass transfer from the perspective of chemical engineering. Considerable efforts have been done to enhance the reaction process, including developing efficient electrocatalysts and devices. Meanwhile, the enhancement of transport processes via, e.g. improving the solubility of methane and modification on the transport area and distance, also facilitates more efficient methane conversion.

Consequently, it becomes imperative to explore advanced anode materials exhibiting high electrochemical activity and robust structural stability. In this regard, the present review focuses on recent progress in metal-organic compounds (MOCs) as anode materials for potassium-ion batteries, systematically discussing their outstanding merits from the perspective of metal speciation. Additionally, the principal mechanism of K ion storage within relevant MOCs is presented.

While fixed-bottom wind turbines are typically used in water depths less than 50 ​m, the utilization of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) becomes essential for deeper waters. Secure and effective mooring systems play a crucial role in making FOWTs commercially viable. The concept of a shared mooring system offers an innovative solution for deploying floating wind farms in clusters or arrays, which can reduce overall construction costs for large-scale floating wind farms. It is imperative to optimize the shared mooring arrangement for maximum cost-effectiveness and wind farm stability. However, implementing a shared mooring system introduces complexity to the dynamics of FOWTs, requiring the development of advanced simulation tools to meet modelling requirements. Under the shared mooring arrangement, mooring lines and anchors face more significant challenges, such as chain-seabed interactions, soil cyclic weakening, and anchor out-of-plane loading, which underscore the need for innovative, reliable, and efficient shared anchor designs.

Despite their challenges, such as low permeability, complex fluid storage, and flow mechanisms, hydraulic fracturing technology has underpinned the development of unconventional reservoirs. Consequently, this has brought about a shift in the sequence of flow regimes, e.g., the transient radial flow regime has been largely shortened by the lengthy transient linear flow regime due to the low permeability of unconventional reservoirs. Moreover, straight-line analysis (SLA), the simplest technique in rate transient analysis (RTA), is a fundamental and potent tool for swiftly extracting reservoir and hydraulic fracture information, estimating oil and gas reserves, and furnishing crucial initial data for subsequent historical matching processes. However, there is currently a dearth of review papers pertaining to a necessary guide of applying SLA in various transient linear flow (TLF) regimes and different unconventional reservoirs. Hence, this paper commences by elucidating the classification of TLF regimes, commonly used methods for recognizing flow regimes, and the diverse SLA methods used for different TLF regimes. Subsequently, it delves into a discussion of different modification techniques for variable rate/flowing pressure, gas phase, complex reservoir characteristics in unconventional reservoirs, and dynamic drainage area concepts etc. Furthermore, the application of SLA in specific domains, namely core analysis and the flowback period, is described. It culminates by surveying the advancements through an integration of novel technologies to enhance estimation accuracy. The paper also highlights certain drawbacks of current SLA technology and proposes new research directions. Ultimately, this paper would serve as an indispensable resource, offering foundational knowledge for the application of SLA in TLF to promote the production of global unconventional resources in a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable fashion in the face of a climate-resilient world.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100471,"journal":{"name":"Energy Reviews","volume":"3 1","pages":"Article 100056"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772970223000433/pdfft?md5=181fdc37e0c182930ca80c79566f5d95&pid=1-s2.0-S2772970223000433-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135670148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of photosynthetic microorganisms is a potential alternative to energy generation from fossil fuels because they efficiently produce hydrogen (H₂). Immobilization of photosynthetic microorganisms is used for many biotechnological applications such as H₂ production. This method appears attractive because it restricts cell movement in an entrapped matrix. Immobilization of <em>Rhodopseudomonas</em> sp. S16-VOGS3 cells is a promising way to improve H₂ production. In this work, the ability of immobilized <em>Rhodopseudomonas</em> sp. S16-VOGS3 cells to produce H₂ was investigated in two types of PBRs. The PBRs used in this work were a cylindrical one with 0.2 ​L working volume (C-PBR) and a flat Roux type with 0.6 ​L working volume (FRT-PBR). The calcium alginate beads prepared were resistant to culture mixing and showed little leakage of cells, and the immobilized cells continued the photofermentation process in both PBRs. The immobilized cells in the C-PBR produced 936.8 ​mL of H₂ with an average H₂ production rate of 2.99 ​mL/h. The average productivity was 126.4 ​μL (H₂)/mg (cells)/h or 14.96 ​mL (H₂)/L (culture)/h, and the light conversion efficiency was 2.37 ​%. The immobilized cells in the FRT-PBR produced a total of 662.2 ​mL of H₂ with an average H₂ production rate of 1.55 ​mL/h. The average productivity was 31.1 ​μL (H₂)/mg (cells)/h or 2.58 ​mL (H₂)/L (culture)/h, and the light conversion efficiency was 0.52 ​%. The more uniform and therefore more efficient degree of bacterial cell mixing achieved in the C-PBR with cylindrical configuration played an important role compared to the FRT-PBR. In the FRT-PBR, the beads were aggregated at the bottom, which limited light penetration and resulted in low H₂ production efficiency.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100471,"journal":{"name":"Energy Reviews","volume":"3 1","pages":"Article 100055"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772970223000421/pdfft?md5=295433349f13fe5fac46492c4785107b&pid=1-s2.0-S2772970223000421-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134688281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
