To address such an inconsistency, a comprehensive membrane degradation model was developed with consideration of precipitated Pt. In this model, the processes of precipitated Pt formation, H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> formation and decomposition, and attack of free radicals on membrane are included.

Moreover, membrane degradation under various temperatures and relative humidity values was explored. It was found that an increasing temperature weakens the nonuniformity of membrane degradation and that a lowering humidity can inhibit membrane degradation. Finally, the membrane degradation process can be separated into the finite dissociation and fragmented stages, which are dominated by the scission and unzipping of ionomer chains and falling off of short-chain fragments, respectively.

Synthetic methane production requires sustainable carbon sources, such as direct air carbon capture (DACC) and electricity-based hydrogen from energy-intensive electrolysis (renewable hydrogen path). Alternatively, sustainable carbon can be used to compensate for CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from fossil natural gas (natural gas path). In this study, we design a comparative framework to show that the economic competition between synthetic methane and CO<sub>2</sub>-compensated fossil natural gas is independent of CO<sub>2</sub> supply costs. We revise and consolidate literature supply costs of synthetic methane from potential exporting countries and compare them to costs of CO<sub>2</sub>-compensated fossil natural gas. In addition, we compare the supply chain emissions of both pathways.

The study highlights that a cost-based regulatory approach may favor the natural gas path over the renewable hydrogen path due to the higher cost of synthetic methane. Applying a CO<sub>2</sub> penalty for compensation for supply chain emissions can improve the competitiveness of synthetic methane only for high methane leakage rates and CO<sub>2</sub> costs.

However, relying solely on G2V could lead to congestion during peak hours, and V2V risks unreliable participation.

In this study, we designed three cooling modes: fully immersed (FI), non-immersed safety valve (NISV), and non-immersed (NI). The experimental results indicate that the FI mode significantly suppresses TR by limiting both the maximum battery temperature and temperature rise rate. In particular, TR can be completely prevented at a 1/3 charging rate (C), with the maximum temperature limited to 110.45 °C and a minimal temperature rise rate of 0.15 °C/s. Furthermore, the FI mode enhances the battery release capacity by 35 %–40 % before the occurrence of internal short circuits (ISC) under the 1/3C overcharge condition, while limiting the voltage increase. However, this capacity-enhancement effect diminishes with an increase in the overcharge rates.

Safety evaluation with adoptable metrics further presents hazard scores of 0.206 for FI, 0.342 for NISV, and 0.955 for NI, indicating that IC technology significantly mitigates battery hazards, albeit with a more modest impact on TR risk.
