Modelling future agricultural mechanisation of major crops in China: an assessment of energy demand, land use and emissi...
Agricultural direct energy use is responsible for about 1–2% of global emissions and is the major emitting sector for methane (2.9 GtCO2eq y−1) and nitrous oxide (2.3 GtCO2eq y−1). In the last century, farm mechanisation has brought higher productivity levels and lower land demands at the expense of an increase in fossil energy and agrochemicals us...
Recent Progress and Challenges Towards Highly Stable Nonfullerene Acceptor-Based Organic Solar Cells
...
Organic solar cells (OSCs) based on nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) have made significant breakthrough in their device performance, now achieving a power conversion efficiency of ≈18% for single junction devices, driven by the rapid development in their molecular design and device engineering in recent years. However, achieving long‐term stability re...

Energy-Based Novel Quantifiable Sustainable-Value Assessment Method for Machining Processes
Sustainability assessments of cooling/lubrication-assisted advanced machining processes has been demanded by environment control agencies because it is an effective management tool for improving process sustainability. To achieve an effective and efficient sustainability evolution of machining processes, there is a need to develop a new method that...
Combustion of liquid ethanol in an innovatory vortex-tube combustor with Self-evaporating and edge-like flame properties...
The combustion performance of a novel self-evaporating vortex-tube combustor for liquid fuel proposed in this study was experimentally explored by taking liquid ethanol as fuel. The new combustor was developed via installing a double-layer self-evaporating tube made of stainless steel and copper into the center of a localized stratified vortex-tube...

Pyrolysis municipal sludge char supported Fe/Ni catalysts for catalytic reforming of tar model compound
Pyrolytic char is widely used for tar removal due to its cost-effective and eco-friendly. In this work, the waste municipal sludge is selected to produce the composite catalyst with transition metal Fe/Ni, and the as-synthesized catalyst was used in the catalytic cracking of the tar model compound toluene by a laboratory-scale plant. The toluene co...
Permeability determination of hydrate sediments and a new reduction model considering hydrate growth habit
The saturation (SH) and growth habit of hydrates in sediments directly affect the evaluation of permeability. This work was devoted to evaluating the growth habit of hydrates in sediments by permeability measurements. The water effective permeability of hydrate sediments with different SH was obtained, and these permeability data were excellent in ...
