To address this issue, a dual-layer optimization strategy for energy station-user, taking into account the demand response for electricity and thermal, is proposed in this paper. The upper layer, represented by energy stations, makes decisions on variables such as the electricity and heat prices sold to users, as well as the output plans of energy supply equipment and the operational status of battery energy storage. The lower layer, comprising users, determines their own electricity and heat demand through demand response. Subsequently, a combination of differential evolution and quadratic programming (DE-QP) is employed to solve the interactive strategies between energy stations and users. The simulation results indicate that, compared to the traditional vertically integrated structure, the strategy proposed in this paper increases the revenue of energy stations and the consumer surplus of users by 5.09% and 2.46%, respectively.</div>","PeriodicalId":570,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Energy","volume":"19 1","pages":"100 - 113"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142175143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electrolyte optimization is an effective approach to suppress such an adverse side reaction, thereby enhancing the electrochemical properties. Herein, a novel boron-based film forming additive, tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) borate (TTFEB), has been introduced to regulate the interphasial chemistry of LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) cathode to improve its long-term cyclability and rate properties. The results of multi-model diagnostic study reveal that formation lithium fluoride (LiF)-rich and boron (B) containing cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) not only stabilizes cathode surface, but also prevents electrolyte decomposition. Moreover, homogenously distributed B containing species serves as a skeleton to form more uniform and denser CEI, reducing the interphasial resistance. Remarkably, the Li/NMC811 cell with the TTFEB additive delivers an exceptional cycling stability with a high-capacity retention of 72.8% after 350 electrochemical cycles at a 1 C current rate, which is significantly higher than that of the cell cycled in the conventional electrolyte (59.7%).

Supported Ni-based catalysts for DRM exhibit a strong dependence on particle size, however, the reaction mechanisms involved remain unclear. In this work, the effect of metal particle size on CO2 activation and CO formation was explored in the DRM reaction using the density functional theory. Nix/MgO (x = 13, 25, 37) was constructed to investigate the CO2 activation and the formation of CO during the DRM reaction. It is found that CO2 is more inclined to undergo chemisorption on Nix/MgO before activation. With the variation in particle size, the main activation pathway of CO2 on the catalyst changes. On the smallest Ni13/MgO, CO2 tends to directly dissociate, while on the larger Ni25/MgO and Ni37/MgO, the hydrogenation dissociation of CO2 is more kinetically favorable. Compared to Ni13/MgO and Ni37/MgO, the oxidation of surface C atoms and the oxidation of CH occur more readily on Ni25/MgO. This indicates that C atoms are less likely to form on Ni25 particle and are more easily to be oxidized. To some extent, the results suggest that Ni25/MgO exhibits superior resistance to carbon formation.</div>","PeriodicalId":570,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Energy","volume":"18 4","pages":"525 - 534"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141586159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the traditional Haber–Bosch (H–B) process for ammonia synthesis necessitates high temperature and pressure, resulting in over 420 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, and relies on fossil fuel consumption. In contrast, dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma-assisted ammonia synthesis operates at low temperatures and atmospheric pressures, utilizing nitrogen and hydrogen radicals excited by energetic electrons, offering a potential alternative to the H-B process. This method can be effectively coupled with renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) for environmentally friendly, distributed, and efficient ammonia production. This review delves into a comprehensive analysis of the low-temperature DBD plasma-assisted ammonia synthesis technology at atmospheric pressure, covering the reaction pathway, mechanism, and catalyst system involved in plasma nitrogen fixation.
