Mixed‐Phase TiO2 Nanotubes Enhance Ru Nanoparticle Activity for Hydrogen Evolution in pH‐Neutral Electrolytes

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Efficient water electrolysis in NaBr electrolyte is achieved using TiO2 nanotube supports decorated with Ru nanoparticles. A cooperative “job‐sharing” effect between the TiO2 proton‐storage support that provides protons to the Ru catalyst enhances hydrogen evolution, minimizes Ru demand and polarization losses, and delivers stable performance ...

Probabilistic Modeling for Prediction Errors to Enhance Balancing Market Participation of Photovoltaic Systems: Error Threshold Estimation, Multisite Aggregation, and Overloading Effects

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This study proposes a method to increase the value of solar power in balancing markets by managing prediction errors. The approach models prediction uncertainties and quantifies reserve requirements based on a probabilistic model. This enables the more reliable participation of photovoltaic plants in balancing markets across multiple sites, especially ...

Foreign labor, peer‐networking and agricultural efficiency in the Italian dairy sector

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract While the presence of immigrants in the agricultural sector is widely acknowledged, the empirical evidence on its economic consequences is lacking, especially from a microeconomic perspective. Using the Farm Accountancy Data Network panel data for Italian dairy farms in the period 2008–2018, the present study investigates the relationship ...
