The Gini coefficient decomposition method reveals inter-regional differences as the main source of the overall inequality, accounting for 67.31% on average. Urbanization and industrial upgrading are observed to be the drivers of CEE, with population density being the strongest suppressor.

Among the numerous types of clean fuels, methanol has become a transitional fuel for the maritime sector to achieve decarbonization goals due to its superior combustion properties. Additionally, methanol has a wide range of sources. It can be produced from coal, natural gas and biomass and its production capacity is distributed all over the world. Asia (with China as the main country), the Middle East and North America are the major bases. In recent years, the production capacity of renewable methanol has been gradually increasing. Renewable methanol is of great significance for achieving carbon neutrality. This review conducts a detailed collation of different types of methanol engines, comparatively analyzes their performance under various operating conditions, and draws corresponding conclusions. The key characteristic parameters encompass ignition delay, knocking, brake thermal efficiency, indicated thermal efficiency, in-cylinder pressure, heat release rate, nitrogen oxides, soot, and carbon monoxide. Based on the examined results, compared with diesel engines, methanol engines exhibit superior performance in terms of emissions. However, methanol fueled engine reduces the thermal efficiency in some cases, which needs more new technologies to improve the efficiency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100597,"journal":{"name":"Green Energy and Resources","volume":"4 1","pages":"Article 100168"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147399800","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}

This review outlines the status of heavy metal pollution and summarize the key physicochemical characteristics of biochar. Subsequently, a detailed analysis was conducted on the critical influencing factors, encompassing biochar physicochemical properties, environmental parameters, and heavy metal attributes. The core section comprehensively examines the primary remediation mechanisms, such as physical adsorption, ion exchange, precipitation, and complexation, highlighting how their relative importance shifts with biochar type and environmental context. Furthermore, remediation performance is not governed by a single mechanism but by the synergistic interplay of biochar's evolving surface chemistry, solution conditions, and metal speciation. Additionally, differences in dominant mechanisms and long-term stability are critically compared between aquatic and soil systems.

Results showed that incorporating 10%–20% red mud significantly accelerates early hydration under 45–60°C steam curing, enabling demoulding strength above 15 MPa within 8 h. Microstructural characterization reveals that the enhancement originates from the alkali–thermal synergistic mechanism: alkali released from red mud promote dissolution of fly ash glass phases and formation of C–(A)–S–H gels, which interweave with AFt to generate a dense microstructure. A suitable steam curing temperature will further enhance this synergistic effect. This synergistic hydration not only improves early mechanical performance but also supports stable long-term strength development. Sustainability assessment further indicated that the optimized mix design reduces carbon emissions by 46.1% and lowers material cost by 40.8% compared with the pure cement system.

However, the relatively low power density has remained a critical bottleneck for further development. As a key material in VRFB power units, enhancing the performance of graphite felt electrodes has represented an effective strategy for achieving high-power battery technology. To improve the activity of graphite felt electrodes, this study has employed an experimental verification approach to investigate battery performance parameters under various activation temperatures and durations, thereby identifying the optimal activation conditions. In contrast to prior studies that exclusively targeted 400°C without systematically optimizing activation duration, this study has systematically evaluated five activation temperatures and four activation durations to clarify the synergistic influence of these parameters on VRFB performance. Specifically, experiments have been conducted at room temperature using activation temperatures of 300, 350, 400, 450, and 500°C, as well as activation durations of 24, 11, 7, and 3 h. The results have indicated that an activation temperature of 400°C yielded notable improvements in charge/discharge performance, internal resistance, efficiency, and capacity retention. Notably, energy efficiency has increased by 5.06%, 5.94%, 3.67%, and 4.72% under these conditions. This study has identified the optimal activation conditions of “400°C for 7 h” and has provided the corresponding performance data, which can help reduce research costs associated with electrode activation in future investigations.
