The treatment of high concentration and low C/N ratio of nitrate wastewater is a promising and challenging research topic. Combining electrochemical reduction and anammox is a technology with great development potential for nitrogen removal from wastewater. In this work, Cu─Ag─Co cathode materials were prepared by two-step electrodeposition method. The effect of current density and initial pH value on nitrate reduction efficiency was investigated in a single chamber electrolytic cell equipped with Cu─Ag─Co cathode and Ti/RuO2─IrO2 anode. The results showed that under the conditions of initial NO3─N concentration of 500 mg L−1, Na2SO4 concentration of 0.125 mol L−1, current density of 10 mA cm−2, initial pH value of 7, and treatment time of 5 h, NO3─N removal ratio was 84.5%, the concentration of NO2─N and NH4+─N was 180.2 mg L−1 and 173.2 mg L−1. Wastewater with a concentration ratio of NO2─N and NH4+─N of 1.04:1 meets the influent requirements for anaerobic ammonia oxidation. Through the combination process, the final NO3─N removal ratio was 82.6%, the NO2─N concentration was 3.2 mg L−1, and the NH4+─N concentration was 26.4 mg L−1. It provided a reference for the treatment of wastewater with low C/N ratio nitrate by combining electrochemical reduction and anammox.

Voltage and Fuel Utilization Control Strategy for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Based on Active Disturbance Rejection Control

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems have become a research focus because of their clean and high-efficiency properties. Control of output voltage and fuel utilization is critical to the energy management for multi-energy systems incorporating SOFC energy supply. However, maintaining precise control of the system's voltage in the presence of perturbations can be challenging. Moreover, the system's voltage control process can lead to fuel utilization fluctuations, which may affect the economy and safety. The design of the controller must meet both of these requirements. The stringent control requirements lead to poor parameter adaptability of existing controllers. This paper designs a nonlinear function and adopts a nonlinear/linear active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) based on state switching to solve the output voltage tracking control problem of SOFC and maintain the fuel utilization rate in the ideal range. The simulation experimental results show that the proposed method has the advantages of strong and superior parameter adaptability with less control effort, which provides theoretical guidance for the design of the output voltage controller of the actual SOFC system.

Xin Gui, Alexander A. Auer

In this work, we present electronic structure calculations to quantify and rationalize the interactions between catalyst, support, ionomer, and active molecular species in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Quantifying interaction energies and their scaling with size allows us to rationalize and compare the fundamental driving forces behind structure formation and material properties. Our basic approach involves simplifying the most important interactions between different components using smaller model systems, such as limited-size platinum nanoparticles, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (graphene flakes), and fragments of various functional units of the Nafion ionomer while applying unbiased first-principles (density functional theory) simulation methods. To guide this quantification, we propose an analysis based on the linear dependence of interaction energy on the number of interacting atom pairs in the interface. This enables us to compare and categorize interactions between catalyst, ionomer, and support with interactions like catalyst–reactant and catalyst–catalyst poison.

Fuel cell technology is a promising alternative to traditional internal combustion engines in various applications, especially in transportation applications. This paper proposes a framework of strategic energy management for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), which is developed to safeguard the dual vehicle energy sources, that is, fuel cells and power batteries. This is accomplished by applying an energy management strategy (EMS) from a prognostic perspective. A fuzzy energy management approach is used to manage the power flow in the FCEV, enabling safe and predefined operation at multiple degradation points. To guarantee reliable and continuous energy source functioning, prognostics algorithms are incorporated into the EMS to identify energy source degradation. The prediction results are integrated into the controller by refining the controller parameters geometrically. Simulation outcomes show that the proposed EMS offers efficient use the dual energy sources, which improves the durability of the energy sources.

In a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell, the following degradation mechanisms are associated with the catalyst particles and their support: carbon support corrosion triggered by carbon and platinum oxidation, platinum dissolution with redeposition, and particle detachment with agglomeration. In this work, an electrochemical model for those degradation effects is presented as well as its coupling with a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics PEM fuel cell performance model. The overall model is used to calculate polarization curves and current density distributions of a PEM fuel cell in a fresh and aged state as well as the degradation process during an accelerated stress test with 30 000 voltage cycles. The obtained simulation results are compared to measurements on a three-serpentine channel PEM fuel cell with an active area of 25 cm2 under various temperatures and humidities. The experimental data are obtained with a segmented test cell using respective degradation protocols and test conditions proposed by the United States Department of Energy. In addition to the temperature and humidity changes, the influence of geometry and material parameters on the degree of degradation and the resulting fuel cell performance is explored in detail.

在聚合物电解质膜(PEM)燃料电池中,以下降解机制与催化剂颗粒及其支撑物有关:碳和铂氧化引发的碳支撑物腐蚀、铂溶解并重新沉积以及颗粒脱落并聚集。在这项工作中,介绍了一个针对这些降解效应的电化学模型,以及该模型与三维计算流体动力学 PEM 燃料电池性能模型的耦合。整个模型用于计算 PEM 燃料电池在新鲜和老化状态下的极化曲线和电流密度分布,以及在 30 000 次电压循环的加速应力测试中的降解过程。模拟结果与在不同温度和湿度条件下对活性面积为 25 平方厘米的三蛇形通道 PEM 燃料电池的测量结果进行了比较。实验数据是采用美国能源部提出的相应降解协议和测试条件,通过分段测试电池获得的。除温度和湿度变化外,还详细探讨了几何形状和材料参数对降解程度以及由此产生的燃料电池性能的影响。

Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) can effectively treat sulfate-containing wastewater, but biocathode microorganisms, such as sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), are susceptible to environmental influences. In practical wastewater treatment, the flow of water in the reactor generates shear forces that directly impact the growth and structure of the biofilm, which leads to changes in MEC efficacy. However, the sulfate reduction efficacy and biofilm community structure changes in MEC reactors under flow conditions have yet to be adequately evaluated. In this study, two-chamber SRB biocathode MECs were constructed under flow conditions (experimental group [EG]) and stationary conditions (control group [CG]). The sulfate reduction rates of CG and EG were stable and reached 88.9% and 84.45%, respectively. The output voltage and current density of EG were similar to those of CG, indicating that the MEC could operate stably under flow conditions. The community structure of the biocathode indicated a high relative abundance of Desulfomicrobium from EG, which promoted the dissimilatory sulfate reduction pathway. This information reveals the potential of flow in improving the performance of MECs in treating sulfate-containing wastewater.

Preparation of Fe/S Modified Biochar Cathode and Its Mechanism for Promoting Ceftriaxone Sodium Removal in an Electro-Fenton System

The efficient cathode material helps to improve the removal of antibiotics in the electro-Fenton (EF) system. The simultaneous doping of transition metals and heterogeneous non-metallic elements in biochar electrodes can enhance the performance of EF systems, but the catalytic mechanism for EF needs to be further explored. In this study, novel Fe/S-doped biochar cathodes derived from marine algae (MA) were prepared to investigate the removal rate of ceftriaxone sodium (CS) and the underlying mechanisms. The results indicated that the Fe/S modified MA (Fe/S/MA) biochar cathode showed the highest CS removal rate (71.23%) in the EF system when treating 20 mg/L CS solution containing 8 mg/L Fe2+ at pH 4. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses revealed that this cathode provided more iron and sulfur active sites for catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction to produce H2O2, enhanced surface porosity, and improved CS removal rate. Electrochemical tests demonstrated this cathode possessed high electrocatalytic capacity, rapid charge transfer capability, and low electrode resistance. This suggested that it can provide more oxygen reduction reaction sites to promote ∙OH generation and enhance Fe2+ regeneration for improving CS removal. This study demonstrates the Fe/S/MA biochar cathode in the EF system shows great potential for the removal of antibiotics.

Traditional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) consume a significant amount of energy to clean wastewater. However, for medium- and small-scale WWTPs, it is crucial to have an energetically self-sustained treatment. In this regard, novel low-energy demand treatment systems, such as nature-based solutions (NBS), are highly suitable alternatives. Constructed wetlands coupled with microbial fuel cells (MFC), referred to as electrowetlands (EWs), are NBS able to treat wastewater while recovering electricity. In this study, initially, various granular carbon materials were tested as anode materials in laboratory-scale MFCs, and anthracite was selected due to its higher electrochemical activity. Then, pre-pilot scale tests were conducted, evaluating different EW configurations. The one consisting in a horizontal anode yielded the best wastewater treatment efficiencies (chemical oxygen demand [COD] degradation greater than 90%) and electricity production (11 mW m−2; 260 mWh day−1 m−2). Finally, a 50 m2 pilot was constructed in Valladolid, studying its performance under real conditions for 1 year. The pilot showed robust and stable performance, achieving high wastewater treatment efficiencies (COD degradation >85%, outflow COD of 100 ppm) and generating 115 Wh in 1 year (power density of 0.4 mW m−2).

传统的污水处理厂(WWTPs)需要消耗大量能源来净化污水。然而,对于中小型污水处理厂来说,实现能源自给自足的处理至关重要。在这方面,新型低能耗处理系统,如基于自然的解决方案(NBS),是非常合适的替代方案。与微生物燃料电池 (MFC) 相结合的人工湿地被称为电湿地 (EW),是一种能够在处理废水的同时回收电力的 NBS。在这项研究中,首先测试了各种颗粒碳材料作为实验室规模 MFC 的阳极材料,由于无烟煤具有较高的电化学活性,因此被选中。然后,进行了先导规模试验,评估了不同的 EW 配置。其中,水平阳极的废水处理效率(化学需氧量 [COD] 降解率大于 90%)和发电量(11 mW m-2;260 mWh day-1 m-2)最高。最后,在巴利亚多利德建造了一个 50 平方米的试点,在实际条件下对其性能进行了为期一年的研究。试点项目表现出强劲而稳定的性能,实现了较高的废水处理效率(化学需氧量降解 85%,流出的化学需氧量为 100 ppm),并在 1 年内产生了 115 Wh 电量(功率密度为 0.4 mW m-2)。
