Due to the diversity of main components in oil shale and the complexity of the occurrence relationship between organic matter and minerals, the current understanding of the oil generation potential of oil shale and the dynamic process of organic matter pyrolysis is still unclear, leading to the relatively backward level of its development technology. The development of new theories and methods for efficient utilization of oil shale resources has great strategic significance. The rotation and vibration frequency of macromolecules in oil shale occur in the terahertz (THz) band, so the THz optical parameters of oil shale can reflect the physical properties of kerogen. In this review, the experimental work progress in THz spectroscopy for characterization and evaluation of oil shale is provided. Oil shale is high anisotropic, resulting that the anisotropy in THz optical parameters strongly depends on the oil yield which is an effective selection for evaluating the oil yield to avoid the problem of environmental pollution in traditional detection. The heterogeneous distributions of organics on the oil shale surface, e.g., the existence of kerogen-rich and kerogen-poor areas, was evaluated by THz amplitude imaging. In addition, the thermal THz analysis technology was developed to determine the pyrolysis process of kerogen and establish the pyrolysis model of kerogen, and the optimization of oil shale pyrolysis process was realized using THz parameters. Moreover, kerogen in oil shale displays a characteristic absorption peak in the THz range, which provides a new insight into the research of kerogen in the micro and nano scale. The pyrolysis oil shale at high temperature absorbs THz radiation strongly due to the decomposition of pyrite in oil shale. These recent works suggest that THz spectroscopy can realize rapid and non-contact detection of oil shale. At last, we propose the prospects and challenges of the THz technology in future as a new method for optimizing oil shale processing technology and improving the utilization efficiency of oil shale.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100471,"journal":{"name":"Energy Reviews","volume":"2 4","pages":"Article 100041"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49748331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rapid development and widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) can be attributed to their numerous advantages, including high energy density, high operating voltage, environmental friendliness, and lack of memory effect. However, the progress of LIBs is currently hindered by the limitations of energy storage materials, which serve as vital components. Therefore, there is an urgent need to address the development of a new generation of high-rate energy storage materials in order to overcome these limitations and further advance LIB technology. Niobium-based oxides have emerged as promising candidates for the fabrication of fast-charging Li-ion batteries due to their excellent rate capability and long lifespan. This review paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the fundamentals, methodologies, and electrochemistries of niobium-based oxides, with a specific focus on the evolution and creation of crystal phases of Nb₂O₅, fundamental electrochemical behavior, and modification methods including morphology modulation, composite technology, and carbon coating. Furthermore, the review explores Nb₂O₅-derived compounds and related advanced characterization techniques. Finally, the challenges and issues in the development of niobium-based oxides for high-rate energy storage batteries are discussed, along with future research perspectives.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100471,"journal":{"name":"Energy Reviews","volume":"2 2","pages":"Article 100027"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49750690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A common approach is to rely on an empirical or semi-empirical aging model fit to experimental data to estimate the evolution of capacity and power fade. Because aging data are costly to collect, pack designers either use Design of Experiment (DOE) techniques to define a set of efficient tests, or use existing aging data to calibrate aging models. Given the increasing quantity of available aging data, the question arises: how can experimental aging campaigns be quickly compared? However, a methodology for the comparison of sets of aging experiments is not discussed in the literature. As a result, pack designers usually rely on intuition to select between multiple aging studies proposed by DOE techniques or in the literature. This work proposes metrics to quantitatively capture the alignment between a set of aging experiments and a target application. These metrics allow pack designers to quickly compare many sets of aging experiments to evaluate those which have tested conditions relevant to the application. Case studies are presented to illustrate the application of these metrics using aging campaign data from the literature. To validate these metrics, this work examines the relationship between these metric values and aging model validation error for calendar aging data for 18650 NMC battery cells. It is demonstrated that greater metric values correspond to reduced model error for an empirical capacity fade model.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100471,"journal":{"name":"Energy Reviews","volume":"2 2","pages":"Article 100025"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49750691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is no straightforward pathways for low-carbon transformation on building sectors, and energy/carbon trading and reverse promotion on decarbonization strategies are not clear. In this study, a literature enumeration method with dialectical analysis was adopted for state-of-the-art literature review and comparison. Low-carbon transformation pathways in buildings were holistically reviewed, with a series of integrated techniques, such as energy saving, clean energy supply, flexible demand response for high self-consumption, and even smart electric vehicle (EV) integration. Afterwards, energy/carbon flows and trading in building-related systems were provided, such as peer-to-peer energy trading, building and thermal/power grids, building and energy-integrated EVs, and carbon trading in buildings. Last but not the least, worldwide decarbonization roadmaps across regions and countries are analysed, to identify the most critical aspects and immediate actions on decarbonization. Results indicate that tradeoff strategies are required to compromise the confliction between insufficient feed-in tariff (FiT) incentives (low renewable penetration in the market) and great economic pressures (high investment in renewable systems). Low-carbon building pathway is further enhanced with first priority given to passive/active energy-saving strategies, onsite clean energy supply and then flexible demand response. Energy/carbon trading will significantly affect renewable energy utilization, and acceptance from end-users to actively install renewable systems or participate in EV interactions. Worldwide decarbonization pathways mainly focus on industries, transportation, buildings, renewable sources, carbon sink and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS). This study can contribute to technical roadmaps and strategies on carbon neutrality transition in both academia and industry, together with advanced policies in grid feed-in tariff, energy/carbon trading and business models worldwide.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100471,"journal":{"name":"Energy Reviews","volume":"2 2","pages":"Article 100026"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49727091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an effective method for reducing carbon emissions, carbon dioxide (CO₂) storage and utilization on the seabed enable the transport of captured CO₂ via pipelines or ships to permanent storage sites, such as saline aquifers or depleted oil and gas reservoirs in subsea sediments, or by injecting CO₂ for the replacement and displacement of subsea resources (oil, gas, gas hydrates, etc.). Subsea CO₂ utilization and storage (SCUS) involves several research hotspots worldwide, including international and local laws and regulations, security, economics, environmental impact, and public acceptance. Its current research and engineering progress are also of great interest. In addition, the vigorous implementation of the energy transition and the rapid development of renewable energy sources globally have resulted in significant advancements in SCUS. This paper provides an overview of carbon dioxide storage and utilization mechanism in the seabed, analyzes key technical and economic issues, and summarizes existing research on safety risks, monitoring technologies, and investment and operating cost control to identify remaining knowledge gaps.

Passive strategies act on the macro- and micro-structures of the electrode, surface wettability, and electrolyte properties. Active strategies employ out-fields, including flowing electrolytes, acoustic fields, magnetic forces, and photothermal effects, to guide bubbles out of reaction sites aiming at high reaction rates, whereas external energy is needed.
