Molecular imaging has become a powerful technique in preclinical and clinical research aiming towards the diagnosis of many diseases. In this work, we address the synthetic challenges in achieving lab-scale, batch-to-batch...

An effective method for the production of fuels and chemicals from microalgae is to ferment the carbohydrate fraction, extract the lipids and convert the resulting solids through hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL). In this...

The push towards the development of next-generation solid-state batteries has motivated the search for novel solid electrolyte materials. Sodium antiperovskites represent a structural family of ion conductors that has emerged...

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a promising technology that can produce biocrude oil from wet biomass. The biocrudes, while generally acknowledged to be more stable than pyrolysis oils, are still thought to degrade...

Energy storage and demand response (DR) resources, in combination with intermittent renewable generation, are expected to provide domestic customers with the ability to reducing their electricity consumption. This study...

Current biorefineries are predominantly based around single feedstock sources, extensively hydrolysed using multiple unit operations. The hydrolysate is generally converted to a single product by one of a few...

Current biorefineries are predominantly based around single feedstock sources, extensively hydrolysed using multiple unit operations. The hydrolysate is generally converted to a single product by one of a few...

The production of chemicals from renewable resources, resulting in the establishment of biorefineries, represents a challenge of increasing importance. Here we show that succinic acid, a C4 compound increasingly being...

With the development of distributed energy resources (DERs) and the increasing flexibility in active distribution networks (ADNs), the economic operation of ADN components on both generation and demand sides to improve power...

Influences of topographic variations of the offshore fringing reef on the harbor oscillations excited by incident N-waves with different amplitudes and waveform types are studied for the first time. Both the propagation of...

Two marine structures arranged side by side with a narrow gap may suffer from violent free-surface resonance, which would cause green water on deck, dramatically raise hydrodynamic loads on structures and seriously threaten...

In this work, the efficiency of extracting algae from culture medium using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), converting the algal/particle slurry to biocrude using hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), and successfully recycling the...

The low photocatalytic conversion efficiency, poor light absorption and high charge recombination rate of traditional semiconductor photocatalysts continues to be a significant research challenge. In this paper, by combining...

Pyroelectric materials are of interest for waste heat utilization and thermal detection. However, the low output current and inefficiency reduces their effectiveness. Here, we utilize the abrupt decrease in polarization of...

Many countries have set ambitious targets to achieve zero-carbon electricity systems by the Mid-21st Century. In their pathways, the renewable mix and the energy storage mix have been considered as two important facets....

Much literature discusses higher education as an agent for sustainable development, but the extent to which higher education contributes to unsustainable economic and social systems receives less attention. This paper...

Marine macroalgae (seaweed) has many advantages over terrestrial crops as a source of renewable biomass but is severely underutilised at present, especially within Europe. In particular, macroalgae has elevated poly- and...
