In this study, we designed poly (vinylidene fluoride)–graft–poly (acrylic acid) (PVDF<i>–g</i>–PAA) as a novel binder to realize high sulfur loading electrodes for Li–S batteries. The synthesis conditions of PVDF<i>–g</i>–PAA were controlled based on its chemical structure, mechanical properties, and electrochemical performance. The optimal structure of PVDF<i>–g</i>–PAA exhibited high LiPS adsorption ability compared to that of PVDF, which retained its mechanical properties. Therefore, the unit cell with a high sulfur loading of 5.7 mg cm<sup>−2</sup> fabricated using PVDF<i>–g</i>–PAA yielded a high reversible capacity of 644.1 mAh g<sup>−1</sup> after 100 cycles.

Traditional waste-to-energy technologies have shown their limits in terms of energy efficiency and pollution, whereas numerous studies were conducted on “supercritical water gasification (SCWG) technology to achieve a neutral carbon footprint. However, there is limited research and a lack of knowledge on SCWG of different combustible municipal solid waste (CMSW) materials. Hence, this study aimed to assess the gasification efficiencies and syngas potential from SCWG of different CMSW materials, composed of putrescible, miscellaneous combustible (MC), plastic, textile, and paper&cardboard, through modeling and simulation in Aspen Plus. The energy content and greenhouse gas (GHG) potential of predicted syngas composed of H<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>4</sub>, CO, and CO<sub>2</sub> were assessed under optimal operating conditions obtained through sensitivity analysis. As a result, the temperature of 650°C, pressure of 22 MPa, and waste-to-water ratio of 1:5 were optimal conditions with temperature being the most influencing parameter on the gasification. Moreover, putrescible achieved the lowest gasification efficiency (GE), carbon gasification efficiency (CE), hydrogen gasification efficiency (HE), and energy recovery (ER) of 83.379%, 99.981%, 25.629%, and 8.657%, respectively, with the lowest high heating value (HHV) of 0.94 MJ/kg, low heating value (LHV) of 0.80 MJ/kg, and GHG potential of 0.002 kg CO<sub>2</sub> eq.

Excessive mismatch can affect the performance of zero-emission buildings and the stability of the electricity grid. Energy sharing emerges as a viable solution to optimise energy distribution effectively. In this study, based on a cross-harbour zero-energy system consisting of dual broad-scale harbour buildings, one electric vehicle ferry and 10 electric vehicles, we study the enhancement of the original energy sharing of the system and the impact on the system performance by exploring the vehicle-to-building interactions of the electric ferry and electric vehicles. Three scenarios were examined to compare energy performance: electric vehicles operating with and without vehicle-to-building functionality alongside all submarine cables and the inclusion of vehicle-to-building functions with the removal of an intermediate submarine cable. The energy-matching performance of the system is enhanced in scenarios where vehicle-to-building functionality has been incorporated. The enhancement results in a maximum percentage increase in NPV<sub>rel</sub> of 0.22% and a maximum value of 3.77 × 10<sup>6</sup> HKD. When electric ferries and cars became pivotal for energy sharing, the percentage of techno-economic enhancement increased. Communication time and available capacity of vehicles were two parameters limiting the enhancement of energy sharing. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of this study in realising the feasibility of cross-harbour zero-emission ferry terminals through hybrid ocean energy systems. Meanwhile, energy sharing is realised through submarine cables to make full use of renewable energy generation.

To improve the environmental sustainability, biodiesel can be produced using waste cooking oil (WCO). To highlight to broad relevance of this process, we analyzed the sustainability of WCO-derived biodiesel based on commercial industrial-scale machinery and compared representative plant designs with biodiesel productivities of 5–30 t/day. The technical feasibility was analyzed in terms of productivity, operating costs, power consumption, land footprint, machine delivery cost, number of workers, and diesel consumption. The economic sustainability was evaluated in terms of the cost-to-profit ratio, cost and profit per ton of biodiesel, and daily profit. The environmental sustainability was quantified in terms of the amounts of WCO and produced biodiesel and the energy and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions avoided by remanufacturing. The social sustainability (potential for human development) was analyzed in terms of the number of workers and labor costs. The required remanufacturing technology is considered sufficiently mature and the proposed process minimizes the amount of WCO sent to landfill and avoids the use of new resources for producing diesel, thereby satisfying technical and environmental sustainability requirements, respectively. Although remanufactured biodiesel is more expensive to produce than diesel, a profit range of 3423–27,525 USD/day is achievable. Significant CO<sub>2</sub> emissions can be prevented by remanufacturing WCO, for example, 7–23.1 Mt/year in China and 7.1–23.2 Mt/year in India.
