Currently, the one-step isobutene ammoxidation process is the industrial mainstream for its production, but its drawbacks of high reaction temperature, many byproducts and high purification energy consumption have prompted researchers to explore alternatives. Although the two-step ammoxidation process has theoretical advantages, it is still in the experimental stage, with its economic and environmental benefits not systematically evaluated. Under unified conditions (99.5% product purity, 1 t·h<sup>−1</sup> isobutene feed), this study compared the two processes via technoconomic analysis and life cycle assessment.

Ni<sub>3</sub>P/SiO<sub>2</sub> catalysts show promise in selective hydrogenation due to their unique electronic structure and thermal stability. The conventional strategies to enhance the performance of these catalysts rely on maximizing the carrier specific surface area to expose more active sites. In this study, we synthesized three spherical SiO<sub>2</sub> carriers with similar particle diameters but different internal structures to load Ni<sub>3</sub>P. Unexpectedly, among the three catalysts, the highest-surface-area Ni<sub>3</sub>P/SiO<sub>2</sub>-II catalyst exhibited the best Ni<sub>3</sub>P dispersion yet the poorest DMO conversion (only 55.4%), as its micro-mesoporous structure compromised the formation of phase-pure Ni<sub>3</sub>P and limited the effective utilization of active sites. The lowest-surface-area Ni<sub>3</sub>P/SiO<sub>2</sub>-III, which lacks sufficient Si-OH anchoring, suffered from severe Ni<sub>3</sub>P agglomeration but still achieved 75.4% DMO conversion owing to its mesoporous structure. In contrast, Ni<sub>3</sub>P/SiO<sub>2</sub>-I, despite its low surface area, achieved excellent performance with 92.2% DMO conversion and 94.8% MG selectivity at 220 °C, benefiting from abundant Si-OH groups and large mesopores. Systematic characterization revealed that the density of surface Si-OH groups and the pore size were the two carrier properties responsible for the observed differences in catalytic activity. Further analysis showed that abundant Si-OH groups suppressed Ni<sub>3</sub>P agglomeration via chemical anchoring, while large mesopores enabled sufficient Ni-P precursor contact to ensure pure Ni<sub>3</sub>P formation and also enhance DMO accessibility and timely MG diffusion. This combination promoted activity and maintained high MG selectivity by minimizing overhydrogenation. Thus, besides specific surface area, abundant Si-OH groups combined with large mesopores are key factors for Ni<sub>3</sub>P catalytic performance in DMO hydrogenation.\u0000</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":571,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering","volume":"20 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148871755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conventional heat supply relies mainly on fossil fuel combustion, plagued by high energy consumption and intensive carbon emissions. Advanced heating technologies are urgently demanded for low-carbon transition. Electromagnetic induction heating (EIH), featuring non-contact heating, ultra-fast temperature ramp rate, and high energy efficiency, has emerged as a promising technical pathway for the low-carbon transformation of energy chemical engineering. This paper reviews the research progress of EIH utilization in energy chemical processes, focusing on performance regulation strategies and typical reaction applications of three susceptor categories: carbon-based, macroscopic metal, and magnetic nanoparticle susceptors. Carbon-based susceptors enable reactant-heat source integration for high-temperature carbon-involved endothermic reactions such as calcium carbide synthesis; macroscopic metal susceptors combine excellent machinability with heat-catalysis synergy and support tunable temperature gradients for staged conversion; magnetic nanoparticle susceptors feature high specific heating power and excel in microscale local hot spot intensification for medium-low temperature catalysis. Overall, EIH achieves deep heat-reaction coupling and serves as an effective electrification solution for strongly endothermic processes, with excellent adaptability to intermittent green electricity. Future key research directions include long-life susceptor optimization, multiphysics coupling simulation, and standardized techno-economic evaluation for industrial scale-up.\u0000</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":571,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering","volume":"20 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148871753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under such demanding scenarios, battery failure arises from the complex coupling of electrochemical, thermal, and mechanical degradation. Critically, the phenomena of lithium plating, interfacial growth, and gas generation drive thermal instability, and also produce corresponding physical signals for early warning. However, conventional safety strategies still rely heavily on delayed external measurements, which are often insufficient to capture early internal thermal and degradation evolution. This review critically examines the emerging paradigm of deeply integrating health monitoring with thermal management. By linking fundamental degradation mechanisms to the physical origins of diagnostic signals, we evaluate emerging internal perception technologies, with a focus on advanced thermal, mechanical and gas-based sensing. We further summarize the transition of thermal management from external regulation to localized internal intervention. We then discuss how multimodal sensing signals can be fused to interpret battery states, assign risk levels, and coordinate adaptive thermal responses. Ultimately, this review outlines future directions centered on intelligent, self-regulating battery architectures, enabled by the integration of multifunctional materials, embedded sensing, and digital-twin-driven data fusion.\u0000</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":571,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering","volume":"20 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148927564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this challenge, we developed an interpretable multimodal molecular representation framework based on latent space mixing. Because the reliability of mixture prediction depends on the quality of the pure-component representations, a multimodal encoder was built for pure components by integrating graph neural network embeddings, molecular access system (MACCS) fingerprints, and molecular descriptors selected through a residual-guided strategy. The trained pure-component encoder was then transferred to mixture prediction.

Finally, the mixture model was applied to fuel formulation design, where inverse searching under the target RON constraints generated a feasible candidate formulation.

Experimental results show that this model outperforms the comparison models in terms of MAE, RMSE, and R<sup>2</sup> metrics, effectively suppressing non-physical fluctuations, balancing high prediction accuracy and physical rationality, and providing technical support for the full life cycle health management and safe operation of lithium-ion batteries.</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":571,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering","volume":"20 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148613448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
