To address these challenges, this study investigates the effect of copper, manganese, and iron doping on cobalt oxide to enhance its solar light absorption and energy storage properties. The doped compounds were synthesized using the sol–gel method and thoroughly characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry, and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy.

Among the tested materials, copper doping at x  = 0.5 was most effective, reducing thermal hysteresis from 37 ℃ to 28 ℃ and enhancing solar absorption by 78 %. These improvements are attributed to increased oxygen vacancies and modified cation valence states, which enhance redox kinetics and light-harvesting efficiency.

The main analysis includes the levelized cost of hydrogen transportation (LCOHT), carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions, and net present value (NPV). ICE-HFO achieves the lowest LCOHT on the Singapore route at 0.502 ¢/ton·km and 0.392 ¢/ton·km for 40 K and 80 K ships, respectively, while the SOFC system exhibits the highest LCOHT on the South Korea route at 1.189 ¢/ton·km and 0.852 ¢/ton·km for 40 K and 80 K ships.

Sensitivity analysis identifies ship speed as the dominant factor influencing LCOHT, with a 20 % speed reduction to 12 knots increasing LCOHT by 0.318–0.460 ¢/ton·km.

In contrast, the SOFC system shows significantly longer PBPs, exceeding 10 years under typical market conditions.

Furthermore, the complex climatic and sunlight conditions along long-distance railway corridors result in significant SPV mismatch losses. These unique challenges, which are absent in conventional PV power stations, render conventional array connections and optimization methods unsuitable for SPV arrays. Hence, this study proposes a general approach for modeling the output characteristics of arbitrary PV arrays as well as a new parameter, i.e., shadow adaptation, to quantify the adaptability of PV arrays under different shading conditions. Based on two key optimization objectives for SPV arrays — shadow adaptability and total cable length — this study proposes, for the first time, a layout optimization algorithm for SPV arrays, i.e., the shadow adaptation genetic algorithm (SAGA), which employs a genetic approach to optimize the SPV array arrangement.

A key advantage of plasma pyrolysis is its ability to achieve high hydrogen yields without producing carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, as the main products of the process are solid carbon and hydrogen. Unlike conventional methods, plasma-based decomposition does not require catalysts, which is one of the major challenges in current technologies for hydrogen production from natural gas. The use of water vapor as a working medium in the thermal plasma process is expected to further increase the hydrogen yield. This research employs a thermodynamic equilibrium model based on the minimization of Gibbs free energy to analyze the process within a temperature range of 500–2500 K. The numerical analysis identifies an optimal process temperature of approximately 1200 K, at which methane conversion exceeds 95 mass percent. Additionally, the study evaluates the economics of the process by calculating the cost of hydrogen production, taking into account capital and operating costs, as well as projected profits. Considering capital costs, operating costs, and profit margins, the estimated hydrogen price is 3.93 €/kg. The sensitivity analysis shows that fluctuations in the price of the by-product solid carbon have the most significant impact on the hydrogen price, which ranges from 4.39 to 3.14 €/kg, depending on the price of solid carbon, which varies between 150 and 1100 €/t.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11664,"journal":{"name":"Energy Conversion and Management","volume":"336 ","pages":"Article 119890"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143916148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
