HEAT-INSYDE’s Post

Our last paper at TU/e SUSTAINABLE ENERGY and PROCESS TECHNOLOGY in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano and University of Brescia within the MACBETH project has just been published in Journal of Membrane Science. In this paper Michele Ongis shows how to use an Effectiveness-MTU model approach to calculate hydrogen separation in selective membranes. The approach simplifies quite a lot the way of calculating hydrogen separations.

Complex, Simplicius, Simplicissimus.   This is the path we have followed in our new exploratory study into the design of “simple” Power-to-Methanol processes to help streamline their deployment across locations with different renewable energy conditions.   Using a newly proposed multi-objective design method, we have looked into: 1) reducing the design complexity in terms of 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 and 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 with different renewable energy conditions 2) quantifying the 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞-𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬 in two design case studies for location-pairs with extremely different conditions (wind-dominant and solar-dominant) in Chile and the US 3) calculating the required 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 of simplified designs and reflecting these with learning rates reported in academic literature Overall, this study provides important considerations for the design of standard and simple Power-to-Methanol processes to support the design concepts based on modularity and distributed production of chemicals.

This research has been a long time in the making-very first of it's kind-, and I’m happy to finally share it with you all: "Hydrogen bubble transport of a direct toluene electro-hydrogenation electrolyzer visualized by synchrotron X-ray CT" https://lnkd.in/grgHA4Fu In this research, we explored how synchrotron X-ray CT can help us better understand and improve hydrogen bubble transport in direct toluene electro-hydrogenation electrolyzers. Publishing this work was a significant personal milestone. When I first began experiments at SPring-8, I knew I wanted to contribute to the scientific community using this incredible technology. I am really thankful to the researchers that worked hands-on during the experimental stage: Antonio Atienza-Márquez , TAKUTO ARAKI , K. Shigemasa, Jang S., K. Nagasawa and R. Shiono. Also SPring-8 collaborators: Keiji Umetani, Albert Mufundirwa, Masato Hoshino, and Kentaro Uesugi for their support in obtaining the SPring-8 data that made this research possible. This work reflects the importance of collaboration and innovation in driving sustainable energy solutions forward.

🚀 Thrilled to Announce My Latest Publication! 🚀 I’m excited to share our latest research article, “Enhancing Iron Oxide Electrocatalysis for Efficient Overall Water Splitting: A Study of Tailored Synthesis for Advanced Energy Generation and Storage” published in Energy Storage! In this study, we explored innovative ways to enhance the electrocatalytic performance of iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) for efficient water splitting, a critical process in renewable energy for producing pure hydrogen and oxygen. We synthesized Fe₂O₃ using three different methods—freeze-drying (aerogel), hydrothermal, and microwave techniques—to evaluate their impact on water-splitting efficiency. Our findings show that Fe₂O₃ produced by freeze-drying (Fe₂O₃-AG) outperforms other forms in terms of current density, efficiency, and stability, highlighting its potential as a cost-effective and sustainable electrocatalyst. 🔬 Key Highlights: • Three Synthesis Methods: Freeze-drying (aerogel), hydrothermal, and microwave-assisted techniques. • Superior Performance: Fe₂O₃-AG exhibited lower overpotentials for both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (204 mV for HER and 222 mV for OER). • Scalability: Freeze-drying synthesis offers a promising path for large-scale production of Fe₂O₃-based electrocatalysts for energy generation and storage. A huge thank you to my co-authors Niharika Maley, Felipe M. de Souza, Anuj Kumar, and Ram K. Gupta for their invaluable contributions. This work is a step forward in creating accessible, low-cost, and environmentally friendly solutions for energy storage and generation. 📄 Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/gW_fwicj #Research #Electrocatalysis #EnergyStorage #WaterSplitting #IronOxide #RenewableEnergy #HydrogenProduction #SustainableMaterials #EnergyStorageJournal
