Energy‐Efficient Induction Carbonization: Tailoring Pore Structures in Hard Carbon Anodes Toward Enhanced Electrochemical Performance

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hard carbon (HC) is currently the predominant anode material for sodium‐ion batteries; however, its practical application is still limited by insufficient initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and plateau capacity. Meanwhile, conventional HC production relies on energy‐intensive carbonization processes with considerable carbon emissions. Here, an

Ternary Crosslinking Builds Nanosheet Hard Carbon and Interfacial Polarization Regulates Na⁺ Kinetics in Hard Carbon Anodes

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Nanosheet Hard Carbon for Fast Na+ Storage ABSTRACT Hard‐carbon anodes for sodium‐ion batteries are often constrained by low initial Coulombic efficiency, severe interfacial polarization, and sluggish Na⁺ kinetics, especially when porosity engineering amplifies electrolyte consumption.

Microwave‐assisted catalytic pyrolysis of textile wastes: Synergistic effects and product characteristics

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the microwave‐assisted catalytic pyrolysis (MACP) of individual and blended textiles (cotton, polyester, nylon 6) using ZnO and a ZnO/natural zeolite catalyst. In a custom‐built microwave reactor operated at 500°C, 1 kW power, and a 15‐min residence time, textile wastes were pyrolyzed.

A novel bubbling fluid bed reactor for the autothermal pyrolysis of waste plastics

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract A new pilot‐scale fluidized bed reactor operated under continuous conditions was developed and tested for the thermal pyrolysis of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE). The study focused on assessing the reliability and operability of the system under different operating conditions (400–550°C), while monitoring mass and energy balances, product ...

Low‐Temperature in Situ Upgrading of Ultra‐Deep Heavy Oil Using Ni–Ce/MOF–OTf Superacid Catalysts to Enhance Energy Utilization and Sustainability

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
A triflate‐functionalized Ni–Ce/MOF–OTf superacid enables low‐temperature (∼140°C) in situ upgrading of ultra‐deep heavy oil. It reduces viscosity by 92.11% in 12 h, maintains activity over cycles, and delivers 90.25% recovery with a lower carbon footprint by selective bond cleavage. ABSTRACT Ultra‐deep heavy oil is an important unconventional resource,
