Analysis of exergy efficiency of a super-critical compressed carbon dioxide energy-storage system based on the orthogonal method

<div><p>Super-critical carbon dioxide energy-storage (SC-CCES) technology is a new type of gas energy-storage technology. This paper used orthogonal method and variance analysis to make significant analysis on the factors which would affect the thermodynamics characteristics of the SC-CCES system and obtained the significant factors and interactions in the energy-storage process, the energy-release process and the whole energy-storage system. Results have shown that the interactions in the components have little influence on the energy-storage process, the energy-release process and the whole energy-storage process of the SC-CCES system, the significant factors are mainly on the characteristics of the system component itself, which will provide reference for the optimization of the thermal properties of the energy-storage system.</p></div

Elucidating phylogenetic relationships within the genus <i>Curcuma</i> through the comprehensive analysis of the chloroplast genome of <i>Curcuma viridiflora</i> Roxb. 1810 (Zingiberaceae)

Curcuma viridiflora Roxb., a plant species of significant pharmaceutical interest, has been the subject of limited chloroplast genomic research. In this study, we present the sequencing and assembly of the C. viridiflora chloroplast genome, which is characterized by a circular chromosome spanning 162,212 base pairs and a GC content of 36.20%. The genome encodes 87 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 38 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. A phylogenetic analysis was conducted, incorporating eight related species, and based on the complete chloroplast genome and protein-coding DNA sequences of six related taxa within the genus. Outgroup species Zingiber zerumbet and Zingiber officinale were also included in the analysis. The results indicate a close relationship between C. viridiflora and Curcuma phaeocaulis, Curcuma sichuanensis, and Curcuma yunnanensis. This study provides the first chloroplast genome of C. viridiflora, thereby contributing a valuable genomic resource for future research on medicinal plants within the Curcuma genus.</p

Rare Earth Metal (La, Ce, Nd, Eu) Doped Cu/Zr-PILC Catalysts for the Efficient NH₃-SCR at Low Temperature

A series of RE-3Cu/Zr-PILC (RE = La, Ce, Nd, Eu) catalysts were prepared via an impregnation method and activities for NH3-SCR were evaluated. The physicochemical properties of each catalyst were explored using XRD, BET, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, XPS and in-situ DRIFTS techniques. The doping of RE had enhanced the NH3-SCR efficiency of 3Cu/Zr-PILC. Among them, the 6Ce-3Cu/Zr-PILC sample demonstrated exceptional performance, achieving NO conversion rates exceeding 90% within the temperature range of 250–350°C. Moreover, it reached its peak NO conversion rate of 96.3% at 300°C while maintaining an impressive resistance to SO2. According to the results of TPR, TPD and XPS analysis, the modification of RE (especially Ce) enhanced the redox properties, the surface acidity, the atomic ratio of Cu2+/Cu+ and the amount of surface chemisorbed oxygen in the 3Cu/Zr-PILC samples, all of these are favorable for the NH3-SCR reaction. Furthermore, in-situ DRIFTS analysis reveals that the NH3-SCR reaction of RE-3Cu/Zr-PILC samples at low temperatures is governed by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) and Eley-Rideal (E-R) mechanisms, with the L-H mechanism being the predominant factor.</p
