Beyond Activity: The Unified Framework of the Sabatier Principle to Guide Rational Design of Durable and Active Electrocatalysts

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
In this review, a unified framework of the Sabatier principle is applied to a diverse range of catalytic and electrocatalytic systems for advanced clean energy technologies, with a particular focus on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). This approach will guide the design and development of highly active and stable catalysts for fuel cells ...

Catalytic Oxidation of CO and VOC in Flue Gas of Coffee Roasting Machines

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
Platinum‐coated cordierite monoliths effectively oxidized CO and VOC in coffee roasting exhaust with higher Pt loadings lowering light‐off temperatures. Scaled up 90 g/ft3 catalyst in a 5 kg roaster achieved 96% CO and around 78% VOC conversion at 350°C, highlighting stable operation requires flue gas temperatures ≥350°C.

The impact of forced closure on proppant distribution of hydraulic fracturing in shale formations

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Research findings demonstrate that implementing forced closure within shale formations can remarkably mitigate proppant settlement, concurrently increasing the effective propped surface area from 29.74% to 38.68%. Abstract Forced closure is widely used in conventional oil and gas reservoirs to promote uniform proppant placement.

Carbon emission assessment of tunnel infrastructures: From construction to operation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study develops a lifecycle carbon accounting framework for tunnel infrastructures, covering design, construction, operation, maintenance, and dismantling. Applied to a subsea tunnel case, the framework reveals the carbon emission distribution among four typical tunnel types and highlights potential carbon offset methods for low‐carbon tunnel ...

Toward Comprehensive Climate Action: Assessing Mitigation Approaches Across Canadian Municipalities

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Local governments are widely regarded as key leaders in the global response to climate change. Understanding if and how municipalities commit to climate mitigation is crucial for assessing their contribution to global emission‐reduction goals and identifying barriers to effective climate transitions.
