A new N and P co-doped porous carbon (PNC) supported Ru catalyst (Ru/PNC) was constructed for highly efficient hydrogenolysis of lignin, in which PNC was prepared using enzymatically hydrolyzed lignin as the carbon source, phytic acid as the phosphorus source, and melamine as the nitrogen source. The introduction of P greatly increased the mesoporous and macroporous network of the catalyst. The hierarchical porous structure of Ru/PNC and the enhanced metal-support interactions by synergistic effect of N and P heteroatoms enabled Ru active centers to uniformly disperse with small particle size on the support. In addition, the N, P co-doping provided with strong Lewis acidity, high porosity, and high specific surface area, facilitated adsorption of lignin onto active sites of supports. This reduced the dissociation energy between lignin structural units, thereby showing the higher activity of hydrogenolysis of lignin. Under the optimal conditions, Ru/PNC contributed to 37.1% aromatic monomers yield from lignin hydrogenolysis, which outperformed Ru/NC (25.6%) and Ru/AC (15.1%). Moreover, Ru/PNC maintained high activity and structural stability after 5 cycles. This work provides a new approach for constructing efficient catalysts for depolymerizing lignin.
以酶解木质素为碳源,植酸为磷源,三聚氰胺为氮源,构建了一种新型氮磷共掺杂多孔碳负载Ru催化剂(Ru/PNC),用于木质素的高效氢解。P的引入大大增加了催化剂的介孔和大孔网络。Ru/PNC的分层多孔结构以及N和P杂原子的协同作用增强了金属与载体的相互作用,使Ru活性中心以小粒度均匀分散在载体上。此外,N、P共掺杂具有强刘易斯酸性、高孔隙率和高比表面积,有利于木质素在载体活性位点的吸附。这降低了木质素结构单元之间的解离能,从而显示出更高的木质素氢解活性。在最佳条件下,Ru/PNC对木质素氢解芳香族单体的收率为37.1%,高于Ru/NC(25.6%)和Ru/AC(15.1%)。经过5次循环后,Ru/PNC保持了较高的活性和结构稳定性。本研究为构建高效的木质素解聚催化剂提供了新的途径。

Mechanisms of permeability enhancement and displacement by alternating cyclic injection of N2/CO2 and dynamic optimization of gas injection strategies N2/CO2交替循环注入增渗驱替机理及注气策略动态优化

This study presents an alternating cyclic N2/CO2 injection strategy designed to synergistically enhance coalbed methane (CBM) recovery. The strategy utilizes the pressure-driven effect of N2 to improve permeability and the adsorption-displacement capacity of CO2, optimizing these functions across distinct stages. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms and identify pathways for optimization, a fully coupled thermal-hydro-mechanical (THM) model was developed through numerical simulation. This model systematically investigates the effects of the N2/CO2 injection sequence, N2 injection pressure, N2 injection time ratio, and the number of alternating cycles. The response surface method (RSM) was employed to quantify interactions among key parameters and to optimize displacement efficiency. The results demonstrate that N2 pre-injection effectively scours and enlarges gas migration channels, resulting in the highest peak permeability. Furthermore, increasing N2 injection pressure leads to irreversible fracture aperture expansion due to tensile stress, thereby enhancing reservoir permeability. For a single injection cycle, optimal permeability enhancement and displacement efficiency occur at an N2 injection time ratio of 30%. Three alternating cycles are optimal, as they effectively counteract CO2-induced permeability attenuation; however, four cycles diminish effectiveness due to fatigue damage. RSM optimization indicates that displacement efficiency is most sensitive to the interaction between the number of cycles and the N2 injection time ratio. Moreover, the optimal cyclic scheme is influenced by the N2 injection pressure: three cycles are optimal at 5 MPa, with N2 injection time ratios of 53%→36%→23%; one cycle is optimal at 6 MPa, with an N2 injection time ratio of 30%; and two cycles are optimal at 7 MPa, with N2 injection time ratios of 48%→28%. In multiple cycles, a reduction in the N2 injection time ratio facilitates the transition from “N2-dominated permeability enhancement” to “CO2-dominated deep displacement,” thereby maximizing displacement efficiency.
该研究提出了一种交替循环注入N2/CO2策略,旨在协同提高煤层气(CBM)的采收率。该策略利用N2的压力驱动效应来提高渗透率和二氧化碳的吸附驱替能力,并在不同阶段对这些功能进行优化。通过数值模拟,建立了全耦合的热-水-力(THM)模型,阐明了其机理和优化途径。该模型系统地考察了N2/CO2注入顺序、N2注入压力、N2注入时间比和交替循环次数的影响。采用响应面法(RSM)量化关键参数之间的相互作用,优化位移效率。结果表明,预注氮气有效地冲刷和扩大了气体运移通道,导致渗透率峰值最高。增加N2注入压力,由于拉应力作用,裂缝孔径不可逆地扩大,从而提高储层渗透率。在单次注入周期中,当N2注入时间比为30%时,提高渗透率和驱替效率最佳。三个交替循环是最理想的,因为它们可以有效地抵消二氧化碳引起的渗透率衰减;然而,由于疲劳损伤,四次循环会降低效率。RSM优化结果表明,驱替效率对循环次数和注N2时间比的交互作用最为敏感。最优循环方案受N2注入压力的影响,在5 MPa时最优循环3次,N2注入时间比例为53%→36%→23%;在6 MPa条件下,N2注入时间比为30%,一个循环最优;在7 MPa条件下,N2注入时间比为48%→28%,循环效果最佳。在多个循环中,降低N2注入时间比有利于从“N2为主的增渗”过渡到“co2为主的深部驱替”,从而最大限度地提高驱替效率。

This study investigates the synthesis of bimetallic Ni-Cu/NiO-Cu2O heterostructures featuring amorphous-crystalline interfaces anchored on nitrogen-doped porous carbon (N-PC) derived from porous organic frameworks (POFs) for high-performance supercapattery devices (SDs). In this process, Ni2+ and Cu2+ ions in controlled ratios are incorporated into the POF through a condensation reaction, followed by carbonization under a nitrogen atmosphere at 1000 °C to form Ni-Cu/NiO-Cu2O@N-PC composites. The coexistence of metallic and metal oxide phases is confirmed through X-ray-based analyses, while Raman spectroscopy and structural characterization verify the presence of amorphous-crystalline interfaces anchored on N-PC. Among the prepared materials, the Ni-Cu/NiO-Cu2O@N-PC-3 (with a Ni2+: Cu2+ weight ratio of 75:25) exhibits superior electrochemical performance, delivering a maximum specific capacitance of 940 F g−1 at 1 A g−1. High-energy Li- and Na-based non-aqueous SDs are developed using LiClO4, NaClO4, and LiPF6 electrolytes to ensure high ionic conductivity and wide potential windows. The assembled SD (Ni-Cu/NiO-Cu2O@N-PC-3 / 1.0 M LiPF6 (non-aqueous) / Activated carbon) achieves a remarkable energy density of 177 W h kg−1 and a power density of 2723 W kg−1. Furthermore, the fabricated device effectively powers red and yellow LEDs, confirming its potential for practical energy storage applications.

With the growing demand for high-performance energy storage devices in emerging fields such as electric vehicles and wearable electronics, supercapacitors have emerged as a research focus owing to their high-power density, rapid charge–discharge rates, and exceptional cycling stability. Nevertheless, the widespread application of supercapacitors is constrained by the limited energy density and structural instability of conventional electrode materials. Herein, a biomimetic strategy was proposed to prepare nitrogen-doped activated carbon (NAC) using Shenmu lignite as carbon precursor through a one-step carbonization-activation method, anchoring MoOx nanoparticles on the NAC matrix, thereby constructing a MoOx@NAC composite electrode material integrated with synergistic structural and compositional advantages. The composite possesses a remarkable specific surface area (2378 m2 g−1), a well-developed hierarchical pore structure, and suitable nitrogen doping. Electrochemical characterization revealed that the MoOx@NAC electrode delivers an impressive specific capacitance of 40 8F g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A g−1, along with low resistance in a 6 M KOH electrolyte. Furthermore, the assembled symmetric supercapacitor achieves an energy density of 19.6 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 125 W kg−1, underscoring its superior electrochemical performance for advanced energy storage applications. Additionally, the composite demonstrated exceptional cycling stability, retaining 93.6% of its initial capacitance after 10,000 consecutive charge/discharge cycles at a current density of 5 A g−1. This enhanced performance is attributed to the synergistic effect between MoOx nanoparticles and N-doped porous carbon. Specifically, the nitrogen and oxygen functional groups improve electrolyte wettability and reduce internal resistance, while the reversible redox reactions from Mo species and nitrogen-containing groups provide extra pseudo-capacitance and enrich active sites. This work presents a promising biomimetic strategy for developing high-performance carbon-based electrodes, offering a promising route for the value-added utilization of lignite-derived activated carbon in industrial supercapacitors.
随着电动汽车和可穿戴电子等新兴领域对高性能储能器件的需求不断增长,超级电容器因其高功率密度、快速充放电速率和优异的循环稳定性而成为研究热点。然而,传统电极材料的能量密度和结构不稳定性限制了超级电容器的广泛应用。本文提出以神木褐煤为碳前驱体,采用一步炭化活化法制备氮掺杂活性炭(NAC)的仿生策略,将MoOx纳米颗粒锚定在NAC基体上,构建具有协同结构和组成优势的MoOx@NAC复合电极材料。该复合材料具有显著的比表面积(2378 m2 g−1)、发达的分层孔结构和合适的氮掺杂。电化学表征表明,MoOx@NAC电极在电流密度为0.5 a g−1时具有令人印象深刻的40 8F g−1的比电容,并且在6 M KOH电解质中具有低电阻。此外,组装的对称超级电容器在125 W kg - 1的功率密度下实现了19.6 Wh kg - 1的能量密度,突出了其优越的电化学性能,可用于先进的储能应用。此外,该复合材料表现出优异的循环稳定性,在5 a g−1的电流密度下,在连续10,000次充放电循环后,其初始电容仍保持93.6%。这种增强的性能归因于MoOx纳米颗粒与n掺杂多孔碳之间的协同作用。具体来说,氮和氧官能团提高了电解质的润湿性,降低了内阻,而Mo和含氮基团的可逆氧化还原反应提供了额外的伪电容,丰富了活性位点。这项工作为开发高性能碳基电极提供了一种有前途的仿生策略,为褐煤衍生活性炭在工业超级电容器中的增值利用提供了一条有前途的途径。

The development of transition metal catalysts with low cost and high efficiency plays a significant role in achieving the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline electrolysis of water, thereby promoting the rapid development of hydrogen energy. Herein, this paper introduces a simple one-step hydrothermal synthesis method for preparing a Ni3S2 catalyst co-doped with W and Fe. It is notable that in the 1 M KOH solution, this electrode has a lower overpotential and faster kinetics. And it shows excellent long-term stability when working continuously for 100 h under 10 mA/cm2 conditions. The combination of experimental results and DFT calculations indicates that the synergistic effect of W and Fe optimizes the adsorption in the rate-determining step, and the energy barrier (1.92 eV) is significantly reduced. This progressive barrier reduction quantitatively confirmed the synergistic effect of Fe-W double doping in regulating the electronic structure of the catalyst, thereby accelerating the OER process. In addition, the OER performance of this catalyst is significantly better than that of other transition metal catalysts reported recently. This work not only presents a highly efficient OER catalyst but also provides a universal co-doping strategy that can be extended to other transition metal compounds for advanced energy conversion technologies.
开发成本低、效率高的过渡金属催化剂对实现碱性电解水的析氧反应(OER),从而促进氢能的快速发展具有重要意义。本文介绍了一种简单的一步水热合成方法,用于制备W和Fe共掺杂Ni3S2催化剂。值得注意的是,在1m KOH溶液中,该电极具有较低的过电位和较快的动力学。在10 mA/cm2的条件下连续工作100 h,表现出优异的长期稳定性。结合实验结果和DFT计算表明,W和Fe的协同作用优化了速率决定步骤的吸附,显著降低了1.92 eV的能垒。这种递进势垒还原定量证实了Fe-W双掺杂在调节催化剂电子结构方面的协同作用,从而加速了OER过程。此外,该催化剂的OER性能明显优于近期报道的其他过渡金属催化剂。这项工作不仅提出了一种高效的OER催化剂,而且提供了一种通用的共掺杂策略,可以扩展到其他过渡金属化合物,用于先进的能量转换技术。

This study explores the combustion behavior of Fe/CuO thermite systems by systematically evaluating the effects of iron particle size, Fe content, porosity, and magnesium (Mg) doping. Thermite pellets were fabricated using three Fe particle size ranges (0–20 µm, 20–40 µm, and 40–80 µm) with varying Fe contents (20–70 wt%), compacted under constant pressure. Combustion performance was evaluated under a fixed single ignition condition. The addition of 2.5 wt% Mg enhanced reactivity and ensured complete and sustained combustion, particularly in compositions with coarse particles or high Fe content.
Beyond burning rate analysis, pellet porosity was measured prior to ignition, and mass changes (loss or gain) were quantified by comparing pellet mass before and after combustion. These data provided insights into the material’s conversion efficiency and the influence of ambient atmospheric oxygen on post-combustion mass variation. Combustion repeatability was verified through triplicate testing, with low standard deviations confirming experimental consistency.
The powders were characterized by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to assess particle morphology and agglomeration, while Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) was used to confirm elemental composition and detect potential surface oxidation or impurities. SEM/EDS observations revealed strong morphological differences between the particle size classes, directly affecting packing density and reaction uniformity.
In conclusion, combining fine Fe particles, a balanced Fe/CuO ratio, and 2.5% Mg doping produced fast, reliable, and reproducible combustion, offering promising potential for advanced thermite-based energetic applications. The resulting data set captures the complex interplay between composition, structure, and ignition behavior in Fe/CuO thermites. It serves as a robust experimental foundation for pyrotechnic laboratories and modelers working on numerical simulation, reaction front propagation, and kinetic parameter extraction in thermite systems.
本研究通过系统评价铁粒度、铁含量、孔隙度和镁(Mg)掺杂对Fe/CuO铝热剂体系燃烧行为的影响。采用不同铁含量(20-70 wt%)的三种铁粒度范围(0-20 μ m, 20-40 μ m和40-80 μ m)制备铝热剂球团,在恒压下压实。在固定的单点点火条件下对燃烧性能进行了评价。添加2.5 wt%的Mg增强了反应性,确保了完全和持续的燃烧,特别是在含有粗颗粒或高铁含量的成分中。除了燃烧速率分析之外,还在点火前测量了颗粒的孔隙率,并通过比较燃烧前后颗粒的质量来量化颗粒的质量变化(损失或增加)。这些数据为材料的转化效率和环境大气氧对燃烧后质量变化的影响提供了见解。燃烧可重复性通过三次试验验证,低标准偏差确认实验一致性。采用扫描电镜(SEM)和能谱仪(EDS)对粉末进行了表征,分析了粉末的形貌和团聚情况,确定了粉末的元素组成,并检测了潜在的表面氧化或杂质。扫描电镜/能谱分析显示,不同粒径之间存在明显的形态差异,直接影响了填料密度和反应均匀性。综上所述,结合精细的Fe颗粒,平衡的Fe/CuO比例和2.5%的Mg掺杂可以产生快速、可靠和可重复的燃烧,为先进的基于热液的高能应用提供了广阔的潜力。所得数据集捕获了Fe/CuO铝热剂中成分、结构和点火行为之间复杂的相互作用。它是一个强大的实验基础,为烟火实验室和建模工作的数值模拟,反应前传播,和动力学参数提取在铝热剂系统。

Catalytic tar cracking over calcium oxide-based bifunctional materials during biomass chemical looping gasification: Experimental and DFT approaches 生物质化学环气化过程中氧化钙基双功能材料催化焦油裂解:实验和DFT方法

The Ca-looping biomass chemical looping gasification (CaL-BCLG) process employs cyclic-chain reactions of CaO-based sorbents between the gasifier and the combustor to simultaneously enhance H2 production and enable CO2 capture, offering broad prospects in the clean energy sector. However, tar-induced carbon deposition on the carrier surface and pipeline blockage significantly impair the stability of CaL-BCLG for hydrogen production. Although SiO2- or coal gangue (CG, mainly consisting of SiO2 and Al2O3)-modified CCS (calcined carbide slag) sorbents previously developed by our group have shown promising CO2 capture and hydrogen production performance, their gradual deactivation under heavy-tar conditions remains unavoidable. The underlying interactions between tar and modified sorbents, however, are still poorly understood. In this work, the effect of inert oxide doping on tar cracking performance was systematically evaluated using tar reforming tests, structural characterizations, tar component analysis, and density functional theory–based molecular dynamics simulations. SiO2 or CG incorporation constructed more stable frameworks and preserved active sites, effectively suppressing sintering and carbon deposition. Thus, CCS-Si2 (doped with 2 wt% SiO2) and CCS-CG5 (doped with 5 wt% CG) exhibited higher apparent tar reforming performance than pristine CCS under the tested conditions. Basic phases (Ca2SiO4, Ca12Al14O33) provided additional active sites that promoted the cracking of acidic oxygenates and the steam reforming of carbon deposits. The ·H and ·OH radicals generated via H2O ionization were further identified as the dominant species driving tar decomposition on CaO, with ortho-position dehydrogenation serving as the rate-limiting step. Si doping enhanced the catalytic performance by modulating the electronic structure of CCS and optimizing tar adsorption; however, Si-Al interactions can partially diminish the intrinsic cracking activity of CaO sites. These insights elucidate tar–sorbent interaction mechanisms and offer design principles for high-stability CaO-based sorbents enabling efficient hydrogen production and CO2 capture in CaL-BCLG.
ca环生物质化学环气化(CaL-BCLG)工艺通过在气化炉和燃烧室之间的cao基吸附剂的循环链反应,同时提高H2的产量并实现CO2的捕集,在清洁能源领域具有广阔的前景。然而,焦油诱导的载体表面积碳和管道堵塞严重影响了CaL-BCLG制氢的稳定性。虽然我们小组先前开发的SiO2或煤矸石(CG,主要由SiO2和Al2O3组成)改性CCS(煅烧电石渣)吸附剂已显示出良好的CO2捕集和制氢性能,但它们在重焦油条件下逐渐失活仍然是不可避免的。然而,人们对焦油和改性吸附剂之间潜在的相互作用仍然知之甚少。本文通过焦油重整实验、结构表征、焦油组分分析和基于密度泛函理论的分子动力学模拟,系统地评估了惰性氧化物掺杂对焦油裂解性能的影响。SiO2或CG的掺入构建了更稳定的骨架,保留了活性位点,有效地抑制了烧结和碳沉积。因此,在测试条件下,CCS- si2(掺杂2 wt% SiO2)和CCS- cg5(掺杂5 wt% CG)表现出比原始CCS更高的表观焦油转化性能。碱性相(Ca2SiO4, Ca12Al14O33)提供了额外的活性位点,促进了酸性氧合物的裂解和碳沉积的蒸汽重整。进一步确定H2O电离产生的·H和·OH自由基是驱动CaO上焦油分解的优势物质,而邻位脱氢是限速步骤。Si掺杂通过调节碳捕集器的电子结构和优化碳捕集器对焦油的吸附来提高碳捕集器的催化性能;然而,Si-Al相互作用会部分降低CaO位点的固有裂解活性。这些见解阐明了焦油-吸附剂的相互作用机制,并为高稳定性的cao基吸附剂提供了设计原则,从而实现了CaL-BCLG中高效的制氢和二氧化碳捕获。

Sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) are a critical pathway for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the aviation sector, yet the deployment of new SAF candidates requires a robust understanding of their fundamental combustion behavior. Limonene, a renewable terpene derived from pine and citrus biomass, has emerged as a promising candidate due to its favorable energy content and bulk properties relative to conventional Jet A-1. However, despite increasing interest, fundamental premixed combustion data for limonene—particularly laminar burning velocity and flame stability parameters—remain limited. The aim of this study is to address this gap through an experimental investigation of the premixed combustion characteristics of limonene. Laminar burning velocity measurements were performed in spherical and cylindrical constant-volume reactors at atmospheric pressure and unburned-gas temperatures of 358, 398, and 438 K using Schlieren imaging. Experiments were conducted for pure limonene, the Jet A-1 surrogate fuel MURI-1, and a 70/30 (vol./vol.) MURI-1–limonene blend over equivalence ratios from 0.7 to 1.4. The results show that pure limonene exhibits high laminar burning velocities, reaching peak values of approximately 70 cm s⁻1, exceeding those of conventional kerosene surrogates. Flame stability analysis reveals that limonene flames become increasingly sensitive to stretch under fuel-rich conditions, as indicated by decreasing Markstein length and Lewis number. Blending limonene with MURI-1 yields intermediate burning velocities and improves flame stability through increased Markstein length, despite a modest reduction in flame thickness, with enhancements of up to 8% observed under rich conditions. These findings provide new fundamental combustion data for limonene and demonstrate combustion trends consistent with other SAF candidates, supporting its potential as a viable component for future ASTM-certified sustainable aviation fuel formulations and for the development of validated chemical-kinetic models.
可持续航空燃料(SAF)是减少航空业二氧化碳(CO2)排放的关键途径,但部署新的SAF候选燃料需要对其基本燃烧行为有充分的了解。柠檬烯是一种从松树和柑橘类生物质中提取的可再生萜烯,由于其相对于传统Jet a -1具有良好的能量含量和体积特性,已成为有希望的候选材料。然而,尽管人们对柠檬烯的兴趣日益浓厚,但关于柠檬烯预混燃烧的基本数据——尤其是层流燃烧速度和火焰稳定性参数——仍然有限。本研究的目的是通过对柠檬烯预混燃烧特性的实验研究来解决这一差距。利用纹影成像技术,在常压、未燃气体温度分别为358,398和438 K的条件下,在球形和圆柱形等容反应器中测量层流燃烧速度。实验采用纯柠檬烯、Jet a -1替代燃料MURI-1和70/30 (vol./vol.)muri -1 -柠檬烯混合物的当量比为0.7至1.4。结果表明,纯柠檬烯表现出很高的层流燃烧速度,峰值约为70 cm s毒枭,超过了传统的煤油替代品。火焰稳定性分析表明,在富燃料条件下,柠檬烯火焰对拉伸越来越敏感,Markstein长度和Lewis数都在减小。将柠檬烯与MURI-1混合可以产生中等的燃烧速度,并通过增加Markstein长度来提高火焰稳定性,尽管火焰厚度略有减少,在丰富的条件下可以提高8%。这些发现为柠檬烯提供了新的基本燃烧数据,并展示了与其他SAF候选物一致的燃烧趋势,支持其作为未来astm认证的可持续航空燃料配方和开发经过验证的化学动力学模型的可行成分的潜力。

Experimental investigation on gas-particle flow and combustion characteristics from a pre-combustion chamber burner coupled with in-furnace radial air staging:optimization of secondary air ratio 结合炉内径向空气分级的预燃室燃烧器气粒流及燃烧特性实验研究:二次风比优化
IF 7.5 1区 工程技术 Q2 ENERGY & FUELS Pub Date : 2026-08-15 Epub Date: 2026-02-11 DOI: 10.1016/j.fuel.2026.138742

The pre-combustion chamber burner coupled with radial air staging is a combustion technology that reconciles flame stability with NOx reduction. For this technology, this paper combines cold-state gas-particle flow experiments with pilot-scale hot-state experiments to comprehensively study the effect of key operating parameters (secondary air ratio, RSA) on the flow field, combustion behavior and NOx emission. When RSA ranges from 0.1 to 0.83, there are central and annular recirculation areas (CRA & ARA) in the pre-combustion chamber (PCC). When RSA is 0.10, weaker entrainment of primary air by the secondary jets shifts the obvious CRA onset downstream (on the plane of x/d = 1.8), compared with the cases where RSA ranges from 0.22 to 0.83 (on the plane of x/d = 1.0). RSA increases from 0.10 to 0.83, which is conducive to the rotation and diffusion of the airflow. When RSA ranges from 0.11 to 0.67, stable ignition is maintained, with temperatures in the furnace exceeding 1473 K. As RSA increases from 0.11 to 0.67, the PCC center temperature increases; the CO concentration at furnace center shows a decreasing trend, while the NOx concentration shows an opposite trend; the pulverized coal burnout climbs from 98.4% to 99.8%, while the NOx emission concentration rises from 59 mg/m3 to 364 mg/m3. Taking all factors into account, the comprehensive performance is superior when the RSA is 0.25, with a pulverized coal burnout rate of 99.4% and a NOx concentration of 209 mg/m3 (O2 = 9%). These findings provide experimental foundations and engineering suggestions for pulverized coal boilers in terms of stable combustion and pollutant control.
与径向空气分级相结合的预燃室燃烧器是一种燃烧技术,可以调和火焰稳定性和减少氮氧化物。针对该技术,本文将冷态气粒流实验与中试热态实验相结合,综合研究了关键运行参数(二次风比、RSA)对流场、燃烧行为及NOx排放的影响。当RSA在0.1 ~ 0.83范围内时,前燃烧室(PCC)存在中心和环形再循环区(CRA &; ARA)。与RSA为0.22 ~ 0.83 (x/d = 1.0)的情况相比,当RSA为0.10时,次级射流对一次风的夹带较弱,使明显的CRA发生向下游移动(x/d = 1.8平面)。RSA从0.10增加到0.83,有利于气流的旋转和扩散。当RSA在0.11 ~ 0.67之间时,炉膛内温度超过1473 K,点火稳定。随着RSA由0.11增加到0.67,PCC中心温度升高;炉心CO浓度呈下降趋势,NOx浓度呈相反趋势;煤粉燃尽率从98.4%上升到99.8%,NOx排放浓度从59 mg/m3上升到364 mg/m3。综合考虑各因素,当RSA为0.25,煤粉燃尽率为99.4%,NOx浓度为209 mg/m3 (O2 = 9%)时,综合性能较优。这些研究结果为煤粉锅炉的稳定燃烧和污染物控制提供了实验依据和工程建议。

Reducing platinum usage and broadening the operating humidity range are crucial for the commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). This study designed a proton-conducting composite through anchoring polyoxometalates onto single-walled carbon nanotubes (POM@SWCNT). The obtained POM@SWCNT was integrated into the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) as a conductive skeleton to enhance the local proton-electron coupled environment at the platinum (Pt) catalyst interface, thereby facilitating oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics and reducing overall proton transfer resistance across wide humidity range. The introduction of POM@SWCNT increased the electrochemical active area (ECSA) and mass activity (MA) of Pt by 62 % and 33 %, respectively. The proton resistance of the prepared MEA reduces 60 % compared with the conventional MEA at 40 % relative humidity (RH) and 80 °C. This strategy offers a highly promising new technical pathway for developing high-performance fuel cells under wide humidity conditions and low Pt loadings.

This strategy offers a highly promising new technical pathway for developing high-performance fuel cells under wide humidity conditions and low Pt loadings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":325,"journal":{"name":"Fuel","volume":"418 ","pages":"Article 138688"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146147441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
