A systemic study for enhanced waste heat recovery and renewable energy integration towards decarbonizing the aluminium industry

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Réginald Germanier

The aluminium remelting industry relies on natural gas to transform recycled aluminium into aluminium feedstock, entailing significant atmospheric emissions. Hydric resources are also affected as they are used as sinks of waste heat from the casting proces ...

Solar reduction of carbon dioxide on copper-tin electrocatalysts with energy conversion efficiency near 20%

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jing Gao, Meng Xia, Yuhang Liu, Dan Ren, Jun Li

Solar-driven carbon dioxide reduction has witnessed a renaissance in the past decades, but the system suffers from low reaction rates. Here the authors develop a copper/tin-oxide electrocatalyst, achieving a new benchmark solar-to-CO energy conversion effi ...

Bifunctional additive 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine for stable and high-efficiency tin-lead perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Yi Zhang, Bing Zhang, Keith Gregory Brooks

Tin-lead (Sn-Pb) mixed perovskite has received widespread attention due to its suitable band gap width and high optical absorption coefficients. However, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of Sn-Pb mixed perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is still low due to ...

Environmental impact minimization of reticular structures made of reused and new elements through Life Cycle Assessment and Mixed-Integer Linear Programming

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Niels De Temmerman

An important share of building environmental impacts is embodied in load-bearing structures because of their large material mass and energy-intensive fabrication process. To reduce substantially material consumption and waste caused by the construction ind ...

Overview of the FTU results

Cristian Galperti, Gabriele Grosso, Filippo Bagnato

Since the 2016 IAEA Fusion Energy Conference, FTU operations have been mainly devoted to experiments on runaway electrons and investigations into a tin liquid limiter; other experiments have involved studies of elongated plasmas and dust. The tearing mode ...

Corrosion mechanisms and durability models for historical tinplate food cans

Fabio Cova Caiazzo

Since the early of the 19th century, canning is one the most efficient ways to preserve foods. Tinplated steel has been used since the beginning for this purpose and it is still one of the most used materials for cans production because it combines the goo ...
