The paradigm shift towards an integration of bioeconomy with circular economy (IBECE) necessitates advancements in integrated biorefineries (IBRs) for sustainable biomass valorization, with IBRs being a key player. IBRs do not only yield environmental gains, but also address techno-economic and social benefits, contributing to global sustainability targets. Hence, to shed more light on the subject, this review underscores the pressing need for IBR potentials to overcome existing barriers and harness the full potential of biorefineries within the global sustainability framework. Further, it critically assesses the role of IBR in facilitating the transition towards IBECE, with a focus on biofuel product diversification and sustainable resources' use. Moreover, it discusses different generations of biorefinery, elaborating on their features and potential. Various biomass feedstocks, with a focus on lignocellulosic and algal sources, are explored along with conversion processes, their limitations, and prospects. In addition, IBR's significance in waste mitigation, integration schemes, and potential for industrial symbiosis are highlighted by clarifying how integrated processes enhance efficiency and performance compared to traditional methods. Subsequently, challenges and future directions are discussed. The review offers strategic recommendations to guide future research, aiming to close empirical gaps and advance the progress of a robust IBECE.</p>","PeriodicalId":104,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Energy & Fuels","volume":" 2","pages":" 338-400"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142976301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, pyrolysis offers a practical method for converting waste plastics into valuable resources such as oil, gas, and char. This review comprehensively examines plastic pyrolysis, focusing on reactor diversity, operational variables, and the integration of machine learning (ML) techniques for process optimization. Understanding the reactor designs is crucial for tailoring pyrolysis processes to achieve specific product yield and composition targets. For example, a fluidized bed reactor offers continuous productivity and efficient mass transfer, whereas fixed bed pyrolysis reactors are suited for secondary pyrolysis reactions. Similarly, vacuum pyrolysis reactors operate under reduced pressure to minimize undesired reactions, and conical-spouted bed reactors display effective blending capabilities. Operational parameters such as residence time, temperature, and pressure significantly influence pyrolysis outcomes. Longer residence times and lower temperatures favor oil production, whereas higher temperatures promote gas formation. Optimal parameter settings can enhance pyrolysis efficiency and maximize product yields while ensuring environmental sustainability. ML emerges as a powerful tool for predictive modeling, interpretation, and optimization of pyrolysis processes. ML algorithms like neural networks and support vector regression techniques enable relatively accurate forecasting of product yields and properties, and can help researchers gain insights into complex pyrolysis kinetics for further tuning of process parameters to achieve desired outcomes. Overall, the synergistic integration of reactor design, operational parameters, and machine learning techniques can improve product yield and quality, minimize environmental impact, and advance sustainable plastic waste management efforts while promoting a circular economy model.</p>","PeriodicalId":104,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Energy & Fuels","volume":" 1","pages":" 54-71"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/se/d4se01045k?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142844664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, an easily accessible platform to construct economically competitive HTM scaffolds as alternatives to Spiro-OMeTAD is still lacking. In this study, we propose a straightforward route (excluding organometallic cross-coupling reactions) to prepare nonconventional HTMs (<strong>BTF</strong> and <strong>BTC</strong>) based on a bithiophene core decorated with unsymmetrical triarylamine groups. The two HTMs are implemented in dopant-free n-i-p perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to evaluate their performance and long-term behaviour. Despite enhancing hole extraction and transport at the perovskite/HTM interface compared to the Spiro-OMeTAD benchmark, <strong>BTC</strong> does not perform exceptionally as an undoped HTM in PSCs (PCE = 14.0% <em>vs.</em> 16.5% of the doped Spiro-OMeTAD reference). Moreover, the efficiencies of unencapsulated devices rapidly degraded over time (<em>T</em><small><sub>80</sub></small>: ∼57 days) due to weak HTM adhesion at the perovskite interface. Conversely, using <em>tert</em>-butylpyridine as the sole additive slightly increases performance (PCE = 14.8%) and remarkably improves device resilience to ambient exposure (PCE = 15.4% after 401 days), representing one of the longest shelf-stability experiments ever reported.
