Abstract
Global energy consumption is expected to reach 911 BTU by the end of 2050 as a result of rapid urbanization and industrialization. Hydrogen is increasingly recognized as a clean and reliable energy vector for decarbonization and defossilization across various sectors. Projections indicate a significant rise in global demand for hydrogen, underscoring the need for sustainable production, efficient storage, and utilization. In this state-of-the-art review, we explore hydrogen production methods, compare their environmental impacts through life cycle analysis, delve into geological storage options, and discuss hydrogen's potential as a future transportation fuel. Combining electrolysis to make hydrogen and storing it in porous underground materials like salt caverns and geological reservoirs looks like a good way to balance out the variable supply of renewable energy and meet the demand at peak times. Hydrogen is a key component of our sustainable economy, and this article gives a broad overview of the process from production to consumption, touching on technical, economic, and environmental concerns along the way. We have made an attempt in this paper to compile different methods for the production of hydrogen and its storage, the challenges faced by current methods in the manufacturing of hydrogen gas, and the role of hydrogen in the future. This review paper will serve as a very good reference for hydrogen system engineering applications. The paper concludes with some suggestions for future research to help improve the technological efficiency of certain production methods, all with the goal of scaling up the hydrogen economy.

Reinforcing the tetracene-based two-dimensional C 48H 16 sheet by decorating the Li, Na, and K atoms for hydrogen storage and environmental application -A DFT study. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 204:112114. [PMID: 34571036 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2021.112114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2021] [Revised: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/21/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
To meet the increasing need of energy resources, hydrogen (H2) is being considered as a promising candidate for energy carrier that has motivated research into appropriate storage materials among scientists. Thus, in this study for the first time, zig-zag and armchair edged tetracene based porous carbon sheet (C48H16) is investigated for H2 storage using the density functional theory. To explore the hydrogen storage capacity, the hydrogen molecule is initially positioned parallel to the C48H16 sheet at three different sites, resulting in lower adsorption energies of -0.020, -0.024, and -0.015 eV respectively. The Li, Na, and K atoms are decorated to improve H2 adsorption on the C48H16 sheet. The Li atom decorated C48H16 sheet has a higher binding energy value of -2.070 eV than the Na and K atom decorated C48H16 sheet. The presence of Li, Na, and K atoms on the C48H16 sheet enhance the H2 adsorption energy than the H2 on the pristine C48H16 sheet. The decrease of Mulliken charge in alkali metal atoms (Li, Na, and K atom) on the C48H16 sheet reveal that the electron is transferred from H-σ orbital to s orbital of alkali metal atoms on the C48H16 sheet, leads to the enhancement of H2 binding. Compared to H2 adsorption on Na and K atom decorated C48H16 sheet, the H2 adsorption on Li atom decorated C48H16 sheet has the maximum adsorption energy value of -0.389 eV. The obtained hydrogen storage capacity of Li, Na, and K atoms decorated C48H16 sheets are about 7.49 wt%, 7.31 wt%, and 7.14 wt% respectively for four H2 molecules, which is greater than the targeted hydrogen storage capacity of the United States Department of Energy (DOE). Thus the obtained results in this work reveal that the decorated C48H16 sheets with Li, Na, and K atom plays the potential role in the H2 storage.

BIOFOULING 2022; 38:13-28. [PMID: 34839780 PMCID: PMC9617291 DOI: 10.1080/08927014.2021.2008376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Revised: 10/31/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
Plasma-initiated free radical polymerization was used to engineer carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) with tailored chemical and physical properties. Following surface modification, CNPs were loaded with a highly effective anti-infection agent called metal-free Russian propolis ethanol extract (MFRPEE), thus, creating nano-based drug delivery systems (NBDDSs). The loading of MFRPEE onto grafted CNPs occurred naturally through both electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding. When constructed under optimal experimental conditions, the NBDDSs were stable under physiologic conditions, and demonstrated enhanced anti-biofilm activity when compared with free MFRPEE. Mechanistic studies revealed that the enhanced anti-infectious activity of the NBDDSs was attributed to the modified surface chemistry of grafted CNPs. More specifically, the overall positive surface charge on grafted CNPs, which stems from quaternary ammonium polymer brushes covalently bound to the CNPs, provides NBDDSs with the ability to specifically target negatively charged components of biofilms. When studying the release profile of MFRPEE from the modified CNPs, acidic components produced by a biofilm triggered the release of MFRPEE bound to the NBDDS. Once in its free form, the anti-infectious properties of MFRPEE became activated and damaged the extracellular polymeric matrix (EPM) of the biofilm. Once the architecture of the biofilm became compromised, the EPM was no longer capable of protecting the bacteria encapsulated within the biofilm from the anti-infectious agent. Consequently, exposure of bacteria to MFRPEE led to bacterial cell death and biofilm inactivation. The results obtained from this study begin to examine the potential application of NBDDSs for the treatment of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs).

Abstract
Due to their highly tunable electrical and structural properties, carbon materials are widely used in fuel cells. This study reviews the latest modifications carried out in order to improve the electrochemical properties of carbon-based anodes in Direct Borohydride Fuel Cell (DBFC). However, in this type of fuel cell, various types of carbon (e.g. carbon black, activated carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene and heteroatom-doped carbons and MOF-derived carbon materials) can provide not only catalyst support, but also hydrogen storage due to the extremely complex process of borohydride electrooxidation. Accurate control of porosity and carbon morphology is therefore necessary for high fuel cell efficiency. Finally, some prospects for the future development of carbon materials for DBFC design are presented. It should be emphasized, that the storage of hydrogen in solid form is a possible breakthrough for the future use of hydrogen as an ecological fuel, which is why scientific research in this topic is so important.

Abstract
Three indigenous systems-the underwater arc discharge setup, the inert environment arc discharge system, and the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system-for the gram-scale production of carbon nanotubes were designed and fabricated. In this study, a detailed description of the development and fabrication of these systems is given. Carbon nanotubes were synthesized by using all the three systems, and comparative analyses of the morphology, composition, and purity were done. The synthesized materials were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy. The scanning electron microscopy images show agglomerated tubed fiberlike structures in samples from the arc discharge setup, whereas samples from the CVD system do not show any tubelike structures decorated around the carbon nanotubes. Structural investigations done using powder XRD revealed the presence of the hexagonal crystallographic phase. Furthermore, the presence of the G and 2D bands reveals sp2 hybridization and confirms the presence of carbon nanotubes in samples. In conclusion, carbon nanotubes synthesized via the CVD system is of high quality and quantity. Moreover, the CVD is a cheap, easy to operate, and energy-saving synthesis method compared with the other two methods.

Abstract
Compared with pristine ZrCo(110), the adsorption, dissociation, and successive diffusion of hydrogen on the Ti-decorated ZrCo(110) have been investigated based on first-principles calculation. For the purpose of having fast absorption kinetics, both activation processes need to overcome small energy barriers. The adsorption energies of molecular as well as atomic hydrogen on the Ti-decorated ZrCo(110) surface were calculated using first-principles calculations with the periodic density functional theory (DFT). The H2 molecule on ZrCo(110) and Ti-doped ZrCo(110) surfaces could be spontaneously partially dissociated due to the interaction with the substrate surfaces, producing H atoms strongly chemisorbed to the hollow sites. The H2 dissociation energy barrier and the H diffusion barrier were also determined. Our results show that the activation energy for H2 dissociation on the decorated surface (0.052 eV) is much smaller than that of the pure surface (0.524 eV), elucidating that the activation condition of H2 on the pure ZrCo(110) is more severe than that on the Ti-doped surface. Particularly, Ti-decoration facilitates the H2 dissociation. Moreover, the re-desorption performance of the two dissociated H atoms is improved by lowering the energetic barrier from 1.798 eV (on the pure surface) to 1.315 eV (on the decorated surface). The calculations also reveal that decorating the surface with Ti eliminates the barrier for the into-bulk penetration of a hydrogen atom. Based on the local density of states, the Bader charge and differential charge density, as well as the influence of the Ti atom on topological properties were analyzed. Theoretical results presented in this study are generally in well accordance with the available theoretical and experimental data.

Abstract
A detailed analysis of the dehydrogenation mechanism of LiBH4/xLiAlH4 (x = 0.5, 1, 2) composites was performed by thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), mass spectral analysis (MS), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), along with kinetic investigations using a Sievert-type apparatus. The results show that the dehydrogenation pathway of LiBH4/xLiAlH4 had a four-step character. The experimental dehydrogenation amount did not reach the theoretical expectations, because the products such as AlB2 and LiAl formed a passivation layer on the surface of Al and the dehydrogenation reactions associated with Al could not be sufficiently carried out. Kinetic investigations discovered a nonlinear relationship between the activation energy (Ea) of dehydrogenation reactions associated with Al and the ratio x, indicating that the Ea was determined both by the concentration of Al produced by the decomposition of LiAlH4 and the amount of free surface of it. Therefore, the amount of effective contact surface of Al is the rate-determining factor for the overall dehydrogenation of the LiBH4/xLiAlH4 composites.
