Abstract
Carbon fiber structural composite supercapacitors possess the multifunctionality of storing electrochemical energy and withstanding mechanical loads simultaneously, attracting increased attention in electric vehicles, drones, and aircraft sectors. A polymer-based coating was meticulously constructed at the electrode/electrolyte interface to enhance adhesion and stability between active materials and the carbon fiber fabric collector under diverse conditions, especially mechanical stress. Mechanical testing and corresponding physical characterization substantiated the superior performance of the polymer coating. With the protective polymer coating, the optimized structural composite Zn-ion supercapacitor (SZSC), consisting of carbon fiber@active carbon-P (CF@AC-P) cathode, ionogel electrolyte, and Zn anode, displayed a maximum energy density of 164.6 mWh kg-1, at power density of 563.3 mW kg-1. Moreover, the optimized SZSC demonstrated stable operation over more than 8000 cycles at 0.3 mA cm-2 without capacity degradation. The optimized SZSC exhibited a tensile strength of 399.7 MPa and Young's modulus of 11.5 GPa. Furthermore, employing vacuum infusion techniques, the fabricated three-dimensional (3D) wing skin model shell and tube shell curved-surface structural composite Zn-ion supercapacitor component composites showcased exceptional electrochemical performance. These achievements further validate the practicality of 3D multifunctional composites. Consequently, this research presented a practical and straightforward interface engineering approach to develop multifunctional structural devices with remarkable electrochemical and mechanical properties.

Abstract
Transition metal sulfides (TMSs) based anodes hold a very broad application prospect in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). In this work, the catalytic effect of metallic nickel at high temperature was used to generate hollow carbon nanofibers loaded with NiS and Ni (denoted as NiS/Ni@HCNF). The heteroatoms doped carbon fibers buffer the huge volumetric change of NiS during the discharge/charge process, and enhance the ion transport efficiency and electrical conductivity. In addition, the high specific surface area brought by the hollow carbon nanofibers can accelerate the electrolyte penetration and speed up the transport of ions as well as electrons. When used as anode of half cell, this electrode gives 958.5 and 612.9 mAh/g after running 1000 cycles under 1 and 2 A/g, showing the extremely-low attenuation rates of 0.0483 % per cycle and 0.0643 % per cycle, respectively. Impressively, NCM//NiS/Ni@HCNF battery shows the discharge capacity of 187.6 mAh/g at 1st cycle. Regarding the next 100 cycles, the relatively-high discharge capacities (>110 mAh/g) and coulombic efficiency (CE) values (>96 %) are discerned. It is noted that the usage of NiS/Ni@HCNF electrode improves the activation energy for thermal runaway, corroborating the elevated thermal safety of battery.

Abstract
High-temperature ceramics polymer dielectric nanocomposite materials have broad application prospects in energy storage. The barium titanate (BT) plays an important role as one of outstanding representative ceramics in the dielectric nanocomposite materials. However, there is little known for the effects of two-dimensional (2D) BT morphology and layout on the properties of high-temperature nanocomposite materials. Hence, 2D scale-like BT ceramic fillers were prepared from layered K0.8Li0.27Ti1.73O4 crystals as precursors using a combined solid-state and hydrothermal process. 2D scale-like BT@polydopamine (PDA) core-shell nanocomposites were prepared via coating PDA on the BT. BT@PDA/polyimide(PI) nanocomposite films were fabricated by horizontally oriented distribution of BT@PDA in the PI matrix. The BT@PDA/PI nanocomposite films exhibit a high energy density (3.34 J/cm3) and high charge-discharge efficiency (83.68 %) at 150 °C. It is currently the highest energy storage performance in the BT/PI nanocomposite films at 150 °C. The excellent properties are due to preventing upward breakdown of electrical pathways and promoting dispersion and entanglement of the electrical pathway routes. Additionally, strong electrostatic interactions between the different polymer chains (PDA and PI) restricts the movement of space charges. This work demonstrates that introducing horizontally oriented, organically shell-modified and 2D small-sized BT nanoparticles into a PI matrix is an effective method for improving energy storage performance.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) has emerged as a potent anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but faces challenges like low electrical conductivity and significant volume changes during lithiation/delithiation, leading to material pulverization and capacity degradation. Recent research on nanostructured Si aims to mitigate volume expansion and enhance electrochemical performance, yet still grapples with issues like pulverization, unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) growth, and interparticle resistance. This review delves into innovative strategies for optimizing Si anodes' electrochemical performance via structural engineering, focusing on the synthesis of Si/C composites, engineering multidimensional nanostructures, and applying non-carbonaceous coatings. Forming a stable SEI is vital to prevent electrolyte decomposition and enhance Li+ transport, thereby stabilizing the Si anode interface and boosting cycling Coulombic efficiency. We also examine groundbreaking advancements such as self-healing polymers and advanced prelithiation methods to improve initial Coulombic efficiency and combat capacity loss. Our review uniquely provides a detailed examination of these strategies in real-world applications, moving beyond theoretical discussions. It offers a critical analysis of these approaches in terms of performance enhancement, scalability, and commercial feasibility. In conclusion, this review presents a comprehensive view and a forward-looking perspective on designing robust, high-performance Si-based anodes the next generation of LIBs.

Abstract
Carbon-based electrode materials have widely been used in supercapacitors. Unfortunately, the fabrication of the supercapacitors includes a polymeric binding material that leads to an undesirable addition of weight along with an increased charge transfer resistance. Herein, binder-free and lightweight electrodes were fabricated using a powder processing of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) resulting in hybrid all-carbon composite material. The structural, morphological, and electrochemical properties of the composite electrodes were studied at different concentrations of GNPs. The specific capacitance (Cs) of the CNFs was improved by increasing the concentration of GNPs in the composite. A maximum Cs of around 120 F g-1 was achieved at 90 wt.% GNPs which is around 5-fold higher in value than the pristine CNFs in 1 M KOH, which then further increased to 189 F g-1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte. The energy density of around 20 Wh kg-1 with the corresponding power density of 340 W kg-1 was achieved in the supercapacitor containing 90 wt.% GNPs. The enhanced electrochemical performance of the composite is related to the presence of a synergistic effect and the CNFs establishing conductive/percolating networks. Such binder-free all-carbon electrodes can be a potential candidate for next-generation energy applications.

Abstract
Due to the increasing demand for energy storage devices, the development of high-energy density batteries is very necessary. Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have gained wide interest due to their particularly high-energy density. However, even this type of battery still needs to be improved. Novel Cu(II)-based metal-organic framework STAM-1 was synthesized and applied as a composite cathode material as a sulfur host in the lithium-sulfur battery with the aim of regulating the redox kinetics of sulfur cathodes. Prepared STAM-1 was characterized by infrared spectroscopy at ambient temperature and after in-situ heating, elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and textural properties by nitrogen and carbon dioxide adsorption at - 196 and 0 °C, respectively. Results of the SEM showed that crystals of STAM-1 created a flake-like structure, the surface was uniform and porous enough for electrolyte and sulfur infiltration. Subsequently, STAM-1 was used as a sulfur carrier in the cathode construction of a Li-S battery. The charge/discharge measurements of the novel S/STAM-1/Super P/PVDF cathode demonstrated the initial discharge capacity of 452 mAh g-1 at 0.5 C and after 100 cycles of 430 mAh g-1, with Coulombic efficiency of 97% during the whole cycling procedure at 0.5 C. It was confirmed that novel Cu-based STAM-1 flakes could accelerate the conversion of sulfur species in the cathode material.

Abstract
Binary metal phosphate electrodes have been widely studied for energy storage applications due to the synergistic effects of two different transition elements that able to provide better conductivity and stability. Herein, the battery-type binder-free nickel-manganese phosphate (NiMn-phosphate) electrodes were fabricated with different Ni:Mn precursor ratios via microwave-assisted hydrothermal technique for 5 min at 90 °C. Overall, NiMn3P electrode (Ni:Mn = 1:3) showed an outstanding electrochemical performance, displaying the highest specific (areal) capacity at 3 A/g of 1262.4 C/g (0.44 C/cm2), and the smallest charge transfer resistance of 108.8 Ω. The enhanced performance of NiMn3P electrode can be ascribed to the fully grown amorphous nature and small-sized flake and flower structures of NiMn3P electrode material on the nickel foam (NF) surface. This configuration offered a higher number of active sites and a larger exposed area, facilitating efficient electrochemical reactions with the electrolyte. Consequently, the NiMn3P//AC electrode combination was chosen to further investigate its performance in supercapattery. The NiMn3P//AC supercapattery exhibited remarkable energy density of 105.4 Wh/kg and excellent cyclic stability with 84.7% retention after 3000 cycles. These findings underscored the superior electrochemical performance of the battery-type binder-free NiMn3P electrode, and highlight its potential for enhancing the overall performance of supercapattery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Daily nutrition plays an important role in supporting training adaptions and endurance performance. The objective of this 10-week study was to investigate the consequences of varying carbohydrate consumption and the glycaemic index (GI) together with an endurance training regimen on substrate oxidation, muscle energy storage and endurance performance under free-living conditions. Sixty-five moderately trained healthy men (29 ± 4 years; VO2 peak 55 ± 8 mL min-1 kg-1) were randomized to one of three different nutritional regimes (LOW-GI: 50-60% CHO with ≥ 65% of these CHO with GI < 50 per day, n = 24; HIGH-GI: 50-60% CHO with ≥ 65% CHO with GI > 70 per day, n = 20; LCHF: ≤ 50 g CHO daily, n = 21). Metabolic alterations and performance were assessed at baseline (T0) and after 10 weeks (T10) during a graded exercise treadmill test. Additionally, a 5 km time trial on a 400-m outdoor track was performed and muscle glycogen was measured by magnet resonance spectroscopy. RESULTS Total fat oxidation expressed as area under the curve (AUC) during the graded exercise test increased in LCHF (1.3 ± 2.4 g min-1 × km h-1, p < 0.001), remained unchanged in LOW-GI (p > 0.05) and decreased in HIGH-GI (- 1.7 ± 1.5 g min-1 × km h-1, p < 0.001). After the intervention, LOW-GI (- 0.4 ± 0.5 mmol L-1 × km h-1, p < 0.001) and LCHF (- 0.8 ± 0.7 mmol L-1 × km h-1, p < 0.001) showed significantly lower AUC of blood lactate concentrations. Peak running speed increased in LOW-GI (T0: 4.3 ± 0.4 vs. T10: 4.5 ± 0.3 m s-1, p < 0.001) and HIGH-GI (T0: 4.4 ± 0.5 vs. T10: 4.6 ± 0.4 m s-1), while no improvement was observed in LCHF. Yet, time trial performance improved significantly in all groups. Muscle glycogen content increased for participants in HIGH-GI (T0: 97.3 ± 18.5 vs. T10: 144.5 ± 39.8 mmol L wet-tissue-1, p = 0.027) and remained unchanged in the LOW-GI and the LCHF group. At the last examination, muscle glycogen concentration was significantly higher in LOW-GI compared to LCHF (p = 0.014). CONCLUSION Changes in fat oxidation were only present in LCHF, however, lower lactate concentrations in LOW-GI resulted in changes indicating an improved substrate metabolism. Compared to a LCHF diet, changes in peak running speed, and muscle glycogen stores were superior in LOW- and HIGH-GI diets. The low GI diet seems to have an influence on substrate metabolism without compromising performance at higher intensities, suggesting that a high-carbohydrate diet with a low GI is a viable alternative to a LCHF or a high GI diet.

Abstract
For the drawbacks of phase change materials such as poor shape stability and weak solar-thermal conversion ability, a rotunda-shaped carboxymethylcellulose/carbon nanotube aerogel (CA) with three-dimensional network was constructed by freeze casting with a special mold, and then impregnated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) in this work. The PEG/CA had an enthalpy of 183.21 J/g, and a thermal conductivity of 0.324 W m-1 K-1, which was 57 % higher than the pure PEG. The ability of PEG/CA to convert solar energy to thermal energy was a positive correlation between the inclusion of CNTs and the composite material's thermal conductivity. Under simulated sunlight, its solar-thermal conversion efficiency reaches 94.41 %, and after 10 min of irradiation, the surface temperature can reach 65 °C and the internal temperature can reach 44.67 °C. This rotunda-shaped PEG/CA is promising for the efficient use of renewable solar energy due to its strong solar-thermal conversion and thermal storage capabilities.

Abstract
Supercapacitors have emerged as highly efficient energy storage devices, relying on electrochemical processes. The performance of these devices can be influenced by several factors, with key considerations including the selection of electrode materials and the type of electrolyte utilized. Transition metal oxide electrodes are commonly used in supercapacitors, as they greatly influence the electrochemical performance of these devices. Nonetheless, ferrites' low energy density poses a limitation. Hence, it is crucial to create electrode materials featuring unique and distinct structures, while also exploring the ideal electrolyte types, to enhance the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors incorporating magnesium ferrites (MF). In this study, we effectively prepared magnesium ferrites (MgFe2O4) supported on activated carbon (AC) derived from orange peels (OP) using a simple hydrothermal method. The resulting blends underwent comprehensive characterization employing various methods, including FTIR, XRD, TEM, SEM, EDX, and mapping analysis. Moreover, the electrochemical performance of MgFe2O4@AC composites was evaluated using GCD and CV techniques. Remarkably, the MF45-AC electrode material showed exceptional electrochemical behavior, demonstrating a specific capacitance of 870 F·g-1 within current density of 1.0 A g-1 and potential windows spanning from 0 to 0.5 V. Additionally, the prepared electrodes displayed exceptional cycling stability, with AC, MF, and MF45-AC retaining 89.6%, 94.2%, and 95.1% of their initial specific capacitance, respectively, even after 5000 cycles. These findings underscore the potential of MF-AC composites as superior electrode materials for supercapacitors. The development of such composites, combined with tailored electrolyte concentrations, holds significant promise for advancing the electrochemical performance and energy density of supercapacitor devices.

Abstract
Inertial effects caused by perturbations of dynamical equilibrium during the flow of soft matter constitute a hallmark of turbulence. Such perturbations are attributable to an imbalance between energy storage and energy dissipation. During the flow of Newtonian fluids, kinetic energy can be both stored and dissipated, while the flow of viscoelastic soft matter systems, such as polymer fluids, induces the accumulation of both kinetic and elastic energies. The accumulation of elastic energy causes local stiffening of stretched polymer chains, which can destabilise the flow. Migrating multicellular systems are hugely complex and are capable of self-regulating their viscoelasticity and mechanical stress generation, as well as controlling their energy storage and energy dissipation. Since the flow perturbation of viscoelastic systems is caused by the inhomogeneous accumulation of elastic energy, rather than of kinetic energy, turbulence can occur at low Reynolds numbers.This theoretical review is focused on clarifying the role of viscoelasticity in the appearance of low-Reynolds turbulence. Three types of system are considered and compared: (1) high-Reynolds turbulent flow of Newtonian fluids, (2) low and moderate-Reynolds flow of polymer solutions, and (3) migration of epithelial collectives, discussed in terms of two model systems. The models considered involve the fusion of two epithelial aggregates, and the free expansion of epithelial monolayers on a substrate matrix.

Abstract
This study discusses an evacuated tube collector-type solar water heater (ETCSWH) using a phase change material (PCM) chamber with fins, nanofluid, and nano-enhanced phase change material (NEPCM). First, the charging phenomena in a horizontal triplex tube heat exchanger (TTHX) equipped with fins, natural convection, and an ETCSWH system without PCM is simulated to validate the solution. The impact of adding fins and nanoparticles with a volume fraction of 3% of Al2O3 and Cu to paraffin wax and water-based fluid, respectively, on the unit's efficiency has been examined. The proposed system for the PCM melting process, heat storage, fluid flow behavior in the system, and velocity distribution and temperature contour in the storage tank and three parts of the absorber tube have been evaluated using ANSYS FLUENT software in a three-dimensional and transient simulation. The results show that Case 8 has improved by 39.7% compared to Case 1 and Case 4 by 5.2% compared to Case 1 within 4 h of the melting process. Also, Case 8 with a 43% and 6.4% shorter melting time than Cases 1 and 5 has the best performance and the greatest heat transfer rate. The productivity of the ETCSWH system is considerably enhanced by the use of fins, NEPCM, and nanofluid.

Abstract
In this work Full Potential study performed on Lanthanum compounds to analyze its photovoltaic properties. Five different combinations of Lanthanum and Indium with phosphorus are chosen in this study are La3P, La2InP, LaIn2P, LaP and InP. The optical, structural, thermoelectric, thermal, and electronic properties of all the above-mentioned compounds are analyzed using Density Functional Theory (DFT) applied in the WIEN2k software. Based on the analysis of electronic properties is concluded that La3P, LaP, La2InP and LaIn2P are conductors whereas InP is semiconductor (direct band gap) with band gap (energy) value 0.39 eV. The optical properties analysis shows these materials have desirable properties in the near UV or in the UV region. The low value of Gibbs energy indicates high thermodynamic stability. Power factor values for La2InP, LaP, InP and La3P are found to be in agreement with existing thermoelectric material, rendering them as potential thermal photovoltaic materials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Evaluate electrochemically active biofilms as high energy density rechargeable microbial batteries toward providing persistent power in applications where traditional battery technology is limiting (, remote monitoring applications). RESULTS Here we demonstrated that an electrochemically active biofilm was able to store and release electrical charge for alternating charge/discharge cycles of up to 24 h periodicity (50% duty cycle) with no significant decrease in average current density (0.16 ± 0.04 A/m2) for over 600 days. However, operation at 24 h periodicity for > 50 days resulted in a sharp decrease in the current to nearly zero. This current crash was recoverable by decreasing the periodicity. Overall, the coulombic efficiency remained near unity within experimental error (102 ± 3%) for all of the tested cycling periods. Electrochemical characterization here suggests that electron transfer occurs through multiple routes, likely a mixture of direct and mediated mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that bidirectional electrogenic/electrotrophic biofilms are capable of efficient charge storage/release over a wide range of cycling frequency and may eventually enable development of sustainable, high energy density rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
The goal of "carbon peak, carbon neutral" and the increasing expansion of new energy have helped to advance the development of energy storage. However, since the operating cost of energy storage is high, carbon emission trading and power market trading have emerged, effectively improving the efficiency. In this paper, a trading strategy and bidding framework of energy storage participation in the day-ahead joint market are studied. A market bidding model has been established in a framework based on the Stackelberg game. Finally, the "Day-Ahead and Intra-Day and Carbon Emission Trading (CET)" market clearing model has been constructed. It has been simplified to solve the equivalent mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problem with equilibrium constraints through the use of the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) optimality criterion and duality principle. The proposed model is validated through improved examples to obtain thermal unit output cuts of up to 32.2% during load trough periods, and up to 16.75% increase in clearing prices during peak load periods. The storage life is extended and the storage output variation is minimized.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks, as a kind of advanced nanoporous materials with metal centers and organic linkers, have been applied as promising electrode materials in energy storage devices. In this study, we are successfully prepared cobalt sulfide nanosheets (CoS) derived from the metal-organic framework on nickel foam (NF). The prepared electrodes are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda and electrochemical methods like voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The CoS/NF electrode demonstrates a high specific capacity of 377.5 mA h g-1 (1359 C g-1) at the current density of 2 A g-1, considerable rate performance and excellent durability (89.4% after 4000 cycles). A hybrid supercapacitor is assembled using CoS/NF as the positive electrode and activated carbon as the negative electrode, it shows a high energy density of 57.4 W h kg-1 at a power density of 405.2 W kg-1. The electrochemical results suggest that the CoS nanosheet arrays would possess excellent potential for applications in energy storage devices.

Abstract
An indirect-type forced convection solar dryer implementing a phase-changing material (PCM) as the energy-storing medium was designed, fabricated, and investigated in this study. The effects of changing the mass flow rate on the valuable energy and thermal efficiencies were studied. The experimental results showed that the instantaneous and daily efficiencies of the indirect solar dryer (ISD) increased with the initial increase in mass flow rate, beyond which the change is not prominent both with and without using the PCM. The system consisted of a solar energy accumulator (solar air collector with a PCM cavity), a drying compartment, and a blower. The charging and discharging characteristics of the thermal energy storage unit were evaluated experimentally. It was found that after using PCM, drying air temperature was higher than ambient air temperature by 9-12 ℃ after sunset for 4 h. Using PCM accelerated the process by which Cymbopogon citratus was effectively dried between 42 and 59 °C of drying air. Energy and exergy analysis of the drying process was performed. The daily energy efficiency of the solar energy accumulator reached 35.8%, while the daily exergy efficiency reached 13.84%. The exergy efficiency of the drying chamber was in the range of 47-97%. A free energy source, a large reduction in drying time, a higher drying capacity, a decrease in mass losses, and improved product quality all contributed to the proposed solar dryer's high potential.

Abstract
The rapid screening of agricultural waste materials for capacitor preparation holds significant importance in comprehending the relationship between material properties and enhancing experimental efficiency. In this study, we developed two machine learning models to predict electrode material characteristics using 2997 data points extracted from 235 articles. The identification and influence of key features on prediction indices provide a theoretical foundation for subsequent practical preparation. Through regression analysis and index evaluation, corn straw emerged as the optimal material for capacitor preparation, leading us to propose a one-step activation and two-step modification approach to convert corn straw into porous biochar. By modifying biochar with Co(NO3)2·6H2O, the maximum electrode capacitance of porous carbon reached 732.6 F/g. Furthermore, the electrode exhibited exceptional cycle stability with a remaining capacitance of 96 % after 5000 cycles.

Abstract
Magnesium-based battery system has emerged as the potential candidate to beyond Li-ion battery system due to the numerous advantageous of magnesium anode, such as natural abundance, high capacity and dendrites free. However, the selection of cathode materials and the intercalation of magnesium-ions in the cathode host material remains a challenge due to the strong interaction of highly polar divalent magnesium ions with the cathode material, making the diffusion of magnesium ions relatively difficult. Herein, the flexible TiVCTx MXene film was developed via a facile and economical approach. As the cathode host material for magnesium-ion storage, the freestanding TiVCTx MXene film displays a high specific capacity of 111 and 135 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.05 A g-1 for magnesium-ion batteries (MIB) and Mg/Li hybrid batteries (MLHB). Furthermore, a long-term cycling stability over 1000 cycles was demonstrated and a detailed investigation of the unique long activation phenomenon of MXene films during cycling. More importantly, the reaction mechanism of magnesium-ion storage was validated, i.e., the MXene interlayer spacing variation with the reversible Mg2+ diffusion behavior. This work reveals the magnesium storage mechanism of MXene materials and provides a new pathway for high-performance storage of magnesium-ion cathode materials.

Abstract
Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are gaining attention as an ideal option for various applications requiring high-capacity batteries, such as portable electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage. ZABs offer advantages such as low environmental impact, enhanced safety compared to Li-ion batteries, and cost-effectiveness due to the abundance of zinc. However, early research faced challenges due to parasitic reactions at the zinc anode and slow oxygen redox kinetics. Recent advancements in restructuring the anode, utilizing alternative electrolytes, and developing bifunctional oxygen catalysts have significantly improved ZABs. Scientists have achieved battery reversibility over thousands of cycles, introduced new electrolytes, and achieved energy efficiency records surpassing 70%. Despite these achievements, there are challenges related to lower power density, shorter lifespan, and air electrode corrosion leading to performance degradation. This review paper discusses different battery configurations, and reaction mechanisms for electrically and mechanically rechargeable ZABs, and proposes remedies to enhance overall battery performance. The paper also explores recent advancements, applications, and the future prospects of electrically/mechanically rechargeable ZABs.

Abstract
Bio-derived chitosan-molybdenum di sulfide (Cs-MoS2) nanocomposites are prepared by a simple and economical aqueous casting method with varying concentrations of MoS2. The structural, surface morphological, optical, and electrochemical properties of the nanocomposites were studied. FTIR analysis reveals the strong interaction between Cs and MoS2. FESEM micrograph showed an increment of the surface roughness due to the incorporation of MoS2 layers into Cs. The surface wettability of the nanocomposites was found to be decreased from 73° to 33° due to the incorporation of MoS2 into the chitosan. UV-vis spectroscopy study demonstrates a reduction of optical bandgap from 4.29 to 3.44 eV as the nanofiller, MoS2, introduces localized states within the forbidden energy bandgap. The incorporation of MoS2 was found to increase the specific capacitance of Cs from 421 mFg-1 to 1589 mFg-1 at a current density of 100 μAg-1. The EIS analysis revealed an increase in the pseudo-capacitance from 0.09 μF to 4.13 μF and a reduction of charge transfer resistance that comes from the nanofiller contribution. MoS2 nanoflower introduces more active sites and expands the electroactive zone, thus improving the charge storage property of Cs. The Cs-MoS2 may offer a new route for the synthesis of eco-friendly, biodegradable, and electrical storage devices.

Abstract
The development of advanced materials for energy storage and gas sensing applications has gained significant attention in recent years. In this study, we synthesized and characterized PANI@MnO2@rGO ternary nanocomposites (NCs) to explore their potential in supercapacitors and gas sensing devices. The ternary NCs were synthesized through a multi-step process involving the hydrothermal synthesis of MnO2 nanoparticles, preparation of PANI@rGO composites and the assembly to the ternary PANI@MnO2@rGO ternary NCs. The structural, morphological, and compositional characteristics of the materials were thoroughly analyzed using techniques such as XRD, FESEM, TEM, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy. In the realm of gas sensing, the ternary NCs exhibited excellent performance as NH3 gas sensors. The optimized operating temperature of 100 °C yielded a peak response of 15.56 towards 50 ppm NH3. The nanocomposites demonstrated fast response and recovery times of 6 s and 10 s, respectively, and displayed remarkable selectivity for NH3 gas over other tested gases. For supercapacitor applications, the electrochemical performance of the ternary NCs was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge techniques. The composites exhibited pseudocapacitive behavior, with the capacitance reaching up to 185 F/g at 1 A/g and excellent capacitance retention of approximately 88.54% over 4000 charge-discharge cycles. The unique combination of rGO, PANI, and MnO2 nanoparticles in these ternary NCs offer synergistic advantages, showcasing their potential to address challenges in energy storage and gas sensing technologies.

Abstract
The chemical conversion of plastic waste into metal-organic framework (MOF) materials has emerged as a significant research field in addressing issues associated to the environment and the economy. The significant advantages of MOFs as electrode material for energy/supercapacitors arises from their extensive surface area and notable porosity. The present study involved the synthesis of Zirconium-Metal Organic Frameworks (Zr-MOF) by the solvothermal method, utilizing plastic waste in the form of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. The morphological and structural characteristics of the Zr-MOF were inspected through several analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. The as prepared Zr-MOF demonstrated very high specific surface area of 927.567 m2 g-1 with mesoporous nature of the materials estimate by BJH method. The electrochemical characteristics of the Zr-MOF in 3-electrode system exhibited a notable specific capacitance of 822 F g-1 when subjected to a low scan rate of 2 mV S-1, while the specific capacitance estimated through galvanostatic charge-discharge exhibited an enhanced value of 890 F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1. Additionally, the working electrode composed of Zr-MOF demonstrated noteworthy capacitance retention of 92% after 5000 charge discharge cycles. This research presents novel opportunities for the utilization of waste PET bottles in fabrication of highly functional Zr-MOF, aiming to advance the development of next-generation supercapacitors and environmental remediation.

Abstract
Fabrication of heterostructures for energy storage and environmental remedial applications is an interesting subject of research that has been undertaken in this present investigation. The incorporation of g-C3N4 into ZnO:MoS2 heterojunction nanocomposite was accomplished by wet-chemical route and characterized by various techniques to ascertain its structure, morphology, and study its potential electro-optical characteristics. The g-C3N4@ZnO:MoS2 sample was investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD) which reveals the co-existence of the ZnO, MoS2 and C3N4 phases linked to characteristic crystallographic planes in the spectrum, validating the formation of ternary nanocomposite. The XRD patterns of the pristine samples were also considered as reference to understand the structural evolution and phase transformations. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) study states the formation of heterogeneous nanostructures having nanoparticles embedded on 2-D nanosheets like structures. Studies using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and elemental mapping show that all the elements that are linked to the above hybrid nanocomposite are present. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) provided clear insights on the microstructure as we can identify the distribution of ZnO and MoS2 nanostructures on layered g-C3N4 nanosheets. The chemical composition and oxidation states of elements were elucidated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study, which added another layer of confirmation on the structural evolution of the ternary nanocomposite. Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) study revealed the layered structure of sp2 hybridized bonding features of C and N in g-C3N4, besides Zn-O and Mo-S stretching vibrations. The nanocomposite demonstrated improved photodegradation efficacy and decomposed alizarin red and methylene blue dyes significantly with better stability and reusability. MoS2 as a co-catalyst acts as an electron acceptor/accelerator in the Z-scheme composite photocatalysis leading to improved photocatalytic efficiency. The resulting heterostructured material delivered a higher specific capacitance of 10.85 F/g with good capacitance retention. Electrochemical study revealed the energy storage capability of the hybrid system.

Abstract
The large use of renewable sources and plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) would play a critical part in achieving a low-carbon energy source and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are the primary cause of global warming. On the other hand, predicting the instability and intermittent nature of wind and solar power output poses significant challenges. To reduce the unpredictable and random nature of renewable microgrids (MGs) and additional unreliable energy sources, a battery energy storage system (BESS) is connected to an MG system. The uncoordinated charging of PEVs offers further hurdles to the unit commitment (UC) required in contemporary MG management. The UC problem is an exceptionally difficult optimization problem due to the mixed-integer structure, large scale, and nonlinearity. It is further complicated by the multiple uncertainties associated with renewable sources, PEV charging and discharging, and electricity market pricing, in addition to the BESS degradation factor. Therefore, in this study, a new variant of mixed-integer particle swarm optimizer is introduced as a reliable optimization framework to handle the UC problem. This study considers six various case studies of UC problems, including uncertainties and battery degradation to validate the reliability and robustness of the proposed algorithm. Out of which, two case studies defined as a multiobjective problem, and it has been transformed into a single-objective model using different weight factors. The simulation findings demonstrate that the proposed approach and improved methodology for the UC problem are effective than its peers. Based on the average results, the economic consequences of numerous scenarios are thoroughly examined and contrasted, and some significant conclusions are presented.

Abstract
Forecasts of distributed energy resource deployment are becoming increasingly important in electric power purchase plans and difficult for countries with limited data. This study utilizes the Customer Adoption Model to forecast the deployment of behind-the-meter distributed solar photovoltaics and battery energy storage systems until the year 2050 and Thailand is used as a case study of the countries with limited data. Comparing methods and results from this study with those used in past studies shows that methodological choices can produce diverging results that shape investment plans and the estimated cost of power supplies. Several input variables of the Customer Adoption Model are discussed that will require continuous refinements as more data become available. The results show that pairing solar systems with batteries could in principle accelerate solar deployment and carbon emissions reduction but the high cost of batteries lengthens the payback period, raising questions about forecasting methodologies that rely mainly on the payback period. The methodological contribution points to a "chicken-and-egg" problem between forecasting and policy uncertainties: accurate forecasting depends on policy certainty, but getting policy right depends on accurate forecasting. Integrated scenario construction and the determination of a specific timeframe for achieving the adoption goal can help policymakers understand the impacts of different policy designs on distributed energy resource deployment and overcome this problem.

Abstract
The aggravation of energy problems and the scarcity of lithium resources have forced us to look for new energy storage systems. Aluminum ion batteries, as a promising energy storage system, has the advantages of environmental friendliness and abundant aluminum resources, and has the potential for application in large-scale energy storage and personal portable electronic devices. To solve the stability problem of aluminum ion batteries during cycling for large-scale energy storage needs, we report a polythiophene-based conductive polymer, poly(3,4-dimethylthiophene) (PDMT), as a high performance cathode material for aluminum ion batteries. By introducing two methyl groups on the thiophene ring, we successfully adjust the local charge density of the heterocyclic thiophene, thus changing the electron delocalization characteristics, and improving the electrochemical reaction activity of the polythiophene (PTH) material as a redox electrode material. This also maintains the symmetry and regularity of the polymer structure, giving the material better cycling stability. The discharge specific capacity reaches 110 mAh g-1 at a current density of 200 mA g-1, far exceeding conventional PTH cathodes (~ 70 mAh g-1), and the capacity retention rate is 92.7% after 1000 cycles. It also shows excellent rate performance due to the flexible structure of the conductive polymer.

Abstract
Among various redox flow batteries (RFBs), the all-iron RFBs have greater application potential due to high accessibility of electrolytes. However, the potential of microaerobic ferrous-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) to improve the performance of RFB has been neglected. Here, several experiments were conducted using Fe2+-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)/Na3[Fe(CN)6] as a redox couple for investigating the enhanced performance by FeOB in this RFB. Results showed that the maximum current density of experimental reactors could achieve 22.56 A/m2 at 0.1 M, whereas power density could still maintain 3.42 W/m2(16.96 A/m2 and 1.58 W/m2 for control group); meantime, the polarization impedance of anode increased slower and Fe2+-DTPA oxidation peak emerged maximum 494 mV negative shift. With increased electrolyte concentration in chronopotentiometry experiments, the experimental reactor achieved higher discharging specific capacity at 0.3 M, 10 mA/cm2. Microbial composition analysis showed maximum 75% is Brucella, indicating Brucella has ferrous-oxidizing electroactivity.

Abstract
The increasing awareness of environmental concerns has prompted a surge in the exploration of lead-free, high-power ceramic capacitors. Ongoing efforts to develop lead-free dielectric ceramics with exceptional energy-storage performance (ESP) have predominantly relied on multi-component composite strategies, often accomplished under ultrahigh electric fields. However, this approach poses challenges in insulation and system downsizing due to the necessary working voltage under such conditions. Despite extensive study, bulk ceramics of (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 (BNT), a prominent lead-free dielectric ceramic family, have seldom achieved a recoverable energy-storage (ES) density (Wrec) exceeding 7 J cm-3. This study introduces a novel approach to attain ceramic capacitors with high ESP under moderate electric fields by regulating permittivity based on a linear dielectric model, enhancing insulation quality, and engineering domain structures through chemical formula optimization. The incorporation of SrTiO3 (ST) into the BNT matrix is revealed to reduce the dielectric constant, while the addition of Bi(Mg2/3Nb1/3)O3 (BMN) aids in maintaining polarization. Additionally, the study elucidates the methodology to achieve high ESP at moderate electric fields ranging from 300 to 500 kV cm-1. In our optimized composition, 0.5(Bi0.5Na0.4K0.1)TiO3-0.5(2/3ST-1/3BMN) (B-0.5SB) ceramics, we achieved a Wrec of 7.19 J cm-3 with an efficiency of 93.8% at 460 kV cm-1. Impressively, the B-0.5SB ceramics exhibit remarkable thermal stability between 30 and 140 °C under 365 kV cm-1, maintaining a Wrec exceeding 5 J cm-3. This study not only establishes the B-0.5SB ceramics as promising candidates for ES materials but also demonstrates the feasibility of optimizing ESP by modifying the dielectric constant under specific electric field conditions. Simultaneously, it provides valuable insights for the future design of ceramic capacitors with high ESP under constraints of limited electric field.

Abstract
Heterostructured nanomaterials tend to have a high proportion of oxygen vacancies (VO) due to the presence of heterogeneous interfaces. Herein, a new kind of heterostructured MoO3@CoWO4 nanobelts was successfully evaluated as fascinating cathode material. SEM and TEM analysis indicated that the MoO3 nanobelts were fully blanketed with CoWO4 nanodots. The generation of Vo species was confirmed by XPS and EPR data. By profiting both synergistic and Vo generation effects, MoO3@CoWO4 electrode displayed an excellent capacitance of 246 mAh·g-1 (1966 F·g-1at 0.5 A·g-1) with high-rate capability of 174 mAh·g-1 (1394 F·g-1 at 30 A·g-1) as well as superb stability of 94 % (over 15,000 cycles). Notably, all-solid-state device delivered a good energy value of 63.1 Wh·kg-1 at 375 W·kg-1. Interestingly, the supercapacitor device showed super-low self-discharge comportment of only 12.1 % during 24 h. Importantly, the generation of the VO defects could control the ions diffusion process and lead a sharp decrease in the self-discharge process.

Abstract
Highlights Hierarchically structured Nb2O5 microflowers consiste of porous and ultrathin nanosheets. Nb2O5 microflowers exhibit enhanced capacity and rate performance boosting Na ion storage. Planar NIMSCs with charge and kinetics matching show superior areal capacitance and lifespan. Abstract Planar Na ion micro-supercapacitors (NIMSCs) that offer both high energy density and power density are deemed to a promising class of miniaturized power sources for wearable and portable microelectronics. Nevertheless, the development of NIMSCs are hugely impeded by the low capacity and sluggish Na ion kinetics in the negative electrode. Herein, we demonstrate a novel carbon-coated Nb2O5 microflower with a hierarchical structure composed of vertically intercrossed and porous nanosheets, boosting Na ion storage performance. The unique structural merits, including uniform carbon coating, ultrathin nanosheets and abundant pores, endow the Nb2O5 microflower with highly reversible Na ion storage capacity of 245 mAh g−1 at 0.25 C and excellent rate capability. Benefiting from high capacity and fast charging of Nb2O5 microflower, the planar NIMSCs consisted of Nb2O5 negative electrode and activated carbon positive electrode deliver high areal energy density of 60.7 μWh cm−2, considerable voltage window of 3.5 V and extraordinary cyclability. Therefore, this work exploits a structural design strategy towards electrode materials for application in NIMSCs, holding great promise for flexible microelectronics.

Abstract
Laser-induced graphene (LIG) has been extensively investigated for electrochemical energy storage due to its easy synthesis and highly conductive nature. However, the limited charge accumulation in LIG usually leads to significantly low energy densities. In this work, we report a novel strategy to directly transform natural rhodochrosite into ultrafine manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoparticles (NPs) in the polyimide (PI) substrate for high-performance micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) through a scalable and cost-effective laser processing method. Specifically, laser treatment on rhodochrosite/polyimide precursors induces the thermal explosion, which splits rhodochrosite (10 μm) into MnO2 NPs (12-16 nm) on the carbon matrix of LIG due to the sputtering effect. Benefiting from largely exposed active sites from the ultrafine MnO2 and the synergetic effect from highly conductive LIG, the MnO2/LIG MSCs show a high specific capacitance of 544.0 F g-1 (154.3 mF cm-2; 14.16 F cm-3) at 3 A/g and 82.1% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles at 5A/g, in contrast to pure LIG (<100 F g-1). Moreover, the MnO2/LIG-based LIBs show the highest reversible discharge capacity of ∼1097 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A/g and ∼ 866.4 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A/g. This study opens a new route for synthesizing novel LIG-based composites from natural minerals.

Abstract
Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) are promising energy storage systems with the potential to bridge the gap between intermittent renewable electricity generation and continuous supply of reliable electricity. The electrodes found in VRFB cells affect their energy efficiency (EE) and power density. It is important to fabricate electrodes with intriguing properties to enable VRFBs to have high performance. Herein, the abundant and cost-effective lignin is employed as the precursor to produce amorphous carbon particles after undergoing thermal decomposition treatment. The carbon particles cover the surface of carbon felt (CF). The resulting CF modified by lignin-derived carbon particles (Lignin-CF) with increased active sites and improved hydrophilicity displays superior electrochemical activity towards the VO2+/VO2+ pair than both the pristine CF and the heated bare CF. Remarkably, the VRFB consisting of Lignin-CF which acts as the positive electrode shows high performance in terms of the average EE (83.3 %) and average voltage efficiency (VE) (85.0 %) over 1000 cycles (long cycling life) for more than 16 days at 100 mA cm-2, and high power density of 1053.2 mW cm-2. It is noted that the EE and VE are comparable to the highest reported value of CF modified by carbon-based materials, aside having evidently longer cycling life. This study provides a feasible strategy for fabricating an affordable electrode for high-performance VRFBs.

Abstract
Phase-changing materials are nowadays getting global attention on account of their ability to store excess energy. Solar thermal energy can be stored in phase changing material (PCM) in the forms of latent and sensible heat. The stored energy can be suitably utilized for other applications such as space heating and cooling, water heating, and further industrial processing where low-temperature heat energy is required. The presented work attempts to evaluate past, present, and future trends in the development of energy storage materials and their encapsulation techniques for efficient utilization of the available energy. Hybrid PCM with nanoparticles has excellent potential to tailor thermo-physical properties and uplift the efficiency of energy storage systems. Synergistic use of PCM with nanomicromaterial can further improve the capacity of energy storage system along with the charging and discharging efficiencies of the system. Impacts of the size of particle, concentration ratio, and shape of particle have been studied to assess their effectiveness in enhancing storage efficiency of the systems. Waste heat recovered and stored in energy storage materials can undoubtedly improve the total energy availability of the source, thus enhancing the exergy efficiency with simultaneous reduction in the entropy generation rate. Core-shell nanoparticles can further improve the optical absorptance spectra towards an infrared region of thermal energy. Paraffin wax-based NEPCMs with graphene nanoplatelets achieve 2.14 W/(m·K) thermal conductivity, enabling faster and more efficient heat transmission and lowering charging and discharging times for thermal storage devices.

Abstract
Since the initial MXenes were discovered in 2011, several MXene compositions constructed using combinations of various transition metals have been developed. MXenes are ideal candidates for different applications in energy conversion and storage, because of their unique and interesting characteristics, which included good electrical conductivity, hydrophilicity, and simplicity of large-scale synthesis. Herein, we study the current developments in two-dimensional (2D) MXene nanosheets for energy storage and conversion technologies. First, we discuss the introduction to energy storage and conversion devices. Later, we emphasized on 2D MXenes and some specific properties of MXenes. Subsequently, research advances in MXene-based electrode materials for energy storage such as supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries is summarized. We provide the relevant energy storage processes, common challenges, and potential approaches to an acceptable solution for 2D MXene-based energy storage. In addition, recent advances for MXenes used in energy conversion devices like solar cells, fuel cells and catalysis is also summarized. Finally, the future prospective of growing MXene-based energy conversion and storage are highlighted.

Abstract
Aqueous nickel-zinc (Ni-Zn) batteries have received increasing research interests because of their reliable safety and economical-friendliness. However, the retarded ionic diffusion, low capacity and limited stability of traditional Ni-based cathodes greatly impedes the practical application of Ni-Zn batteries. Herein, two metal organophosphonate materials of Ni methylphosphonate (Ni-MPA) and Ni phenylphosphonate (Ni-PPA) directly grown on Ni foam are constructed successfully through one step solvothermal technique. These two self-supported Ni organophosphonates featured hybrid two-dimensional (2D) structures consisting of alternating inorganic and organic layers, where the inorganic layers are formed by six-coordinated Ni2+ bridged by oxygen atoms and capped by organophosphonate groups, availing to provide rich open redox reaction sites, rapid ion diffusion and structural flexibility. The research results reveal that the organic groups in phosphonic acid ligands have important influence on their electrochemical properties. Consequently, the Ni-MPA electrode exhibits a higher specific capacity of 2.27 mAh/cm2 compared to that of the Ni-PPA electrode (1.1 mAh/cm2) at 3.0 mA/cm2; however, it demonstrates a more rapid transformation rate into Ni(OH)2 in an alkaline solution. Furthermore, the constructed Ni-MPA//Zn battery can deliver an impressive areal energy density of 2.95 mWh/cm2, good rate performance as well as a long-term cycling stability.

Abstract
This research demonstrates the application of novel optimization methods in the realm of renewable energy and contributes to the development of environmentally friendly electricity generation and consumption. In this study, an improved version of the Al-Biruni algorithm has been proposed for Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HRES) optimization, which includes fuel cells, photovoltaic cells, and windmills. The algorithm considers supply, demand, and energy storage constraints and seeks the best combination of energy sources to meet load demand while reducing total system cost. Inspired by ancient Iranian philosopher Abu Biruni, the proposed method includes modifications to explore solution space efficiently and improve answer value. The proposed HRES model is applied to a case study from Dunhuang City, China, and its findings are validated by comparing it with other optimization approaches. The Modified Al-Biruni Earth Radius (MBER) algorithm is found to be the most efficient and reliable system, costing 4.23 million units of currency. Compared to other optimization approaches, MBER exhibited a total cost of 4.1 million US dollars, 0.009, 3.7, 3.7, LPSP, and 356 h per year. The overall cost is 5.26 million units of currency with a 0.5% Loss of Power Supply Probability (LPSP), which directly impacts system performance and dependability. The improved Al-Biruni algorithm can efficiently optimize the system, reduce costs, and increase load supply, contributing to the growth of renewable energy sources and the application of advanced meta-heuristic techniques in complex energy systems.

Abstract
In this paper, the carbon electrode materials were prepared by the KOH-HNO3 low-temperature activation technique using cheap residual carbon from gasification fine slag (CK) as raw materials. The results showed that the prepared material (CKN-2) which obtained by dry-wet sequential activation at 500°C for 1.5 h at carbon to KOH ratio of 1:2 and further at 80°C for 1 h in 2 mol/L HNO3 solution. The specific capacitance of CKN-2 reached 142 F/g at a current density of 0.5 A/g. CKN-2 was used to assemble a symmetrical (CKN-2//CKN-2) supercapacitor, which exhibited an energy density of 6.80 Wh/kg at a power density of 244.8 W/kg. The CKN-2//CKN-2 capacitor was tested for stability after 10,000 cycles, with a capacitance retention rate of 97%. These results demonstrate that residual carbon from gasification fine slag can be effectively used to produce high-performance carbon electrode materials for supercapacitors using the KOH-HNO3 low-temperature sequential co-activation technique.

Abstract
Electrochromic materials (ECMs) could exhibit reversible color changes upon application of the external electric field, which exhibits huge application prospects in smart windows, energy storage devices, and displays. For the practical application of ECMs, the fast response speed and long cyclic stability are urgent. In this work, the nanoporous Sm-doped WO3 (WSm) films were constructed using hydrothermal technology, then polydopamine (PDA) was modified on the surface of WSm film to obtain the WSm/Px (x = 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0) hybrid films. WSm/Px hybrid films displayed high optical contrast and large areal capacitance. In addition, in comparison with WSm film, the WSm/Px hybrid films exhibited faster response speed and better cyclic stability because PDA film enhanced the interface ion transport ability and electrochemical structural stability of the nanoporous WSm film. Notably, the WSm/P1.0 hybrid film displayed the colored/bleached times of 7.4/2.9 s, retained 90.2% of the primitive optical contrast (68.5%) after 5000 electrochromic cycles. Furthermore, the areal capacitance of WSm film could be increased by 224% through the modification of the PDA. Therefore, WSm/Px hybrid films are great prospects for electrochromic energy-saving and storage windows.

Abstract
Microgrids have emerged as a possible alternative to overcome the difficulties of the combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system in power networks. Energy storage devices are vital for the stable and effective functioning of Microgrids. In this paper, a new modified metaheuristic technique, called the Amended Multiverse Optimizer algorithm (AMVOA) is used to suggest a new method of Microgrid design with energy storage. The Multiverse theory notion served as the inspiration for the metaheuristic optimization method known as the AMVOA. The suggested strategy takes into account the load demand, energy storage technologies, and architecture of a Microgrid with renewable energy sources. The goal is to keep the Microgrid's overall cost as low as possible while preserving its dependability and sustainability. To validate the efficiency of the proposed method, two HRES scenarios are put out, the first of which relies on PV, wind, diesel, and battery power, and the second of which uses PV, diesel, and battery power. To validate the superiority of the proposed method, the method has been compared with five state-of-the-art algorithms, including the Evolutionary Algorithm (EA), Modified Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (MGOA), Improved Gray Wolf Optimization Algorithm (IGWOA), Improved Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm (IAOA), and the original MVOA. The study compares two scenarios: one with wind, PV, diesel, and battery power and the other with only PV, diesel, and battery power. In scenario 1 (Wind/PV/DG/BESS), the AMVOA algorithm achieves optimal results, resulting in a Net Present Cost (NPC) of $299,010 and an energy cost of $0.2309 per kilowatt-hour. The proposed technique successfully integrates 84.86 % renewable energy sources while meeting defined limitations. The optimal sizing for scenario 2 (PV/DG/BESS) is $333,800 with an energy cost of $0.3451 per kilowatt-hour. The AMVOA algorithm outperforms other algorithms in convergence and provides efficient power management. However, further analysis and evaluation are necessary to assess the robustness, practicality, and reliability of the proposed Microgrid configurations. The outcomes show how the suggested AMVO-based strategy may be used to create the best Microgrid architecture with energy storage. The recommended method may be applied as a decision-making tool for Microgrid planning and design, especially for the integration of renewable energy.

Abstract
This research investigates the utility of functionalized porous carbon (FPC), derived from the waste wood of Alnus nepalensis. It demonstrates FPC's dual suitability as a versatile component for energy storage systems, specifically supercapacitors, and its impressive capacity to adsorb malachite green (MG) dye from industrial wastewater. The synthesis of FPC occurred through a controlled two-step process: initial activation of wood powder with H3PO4, followed by carbonization at 400 °C for 3 h in a tube furnace. To comprehensively evaluate the material's attributes, multiple analytical methods were employed: Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) analysis, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) imaging, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy. The prepared FPC exhibited desirable characteristics essential for achieving electrochemical performances and adsorption of dyes as well. TEM revealed voids within the material's structure, while BET confirmed high porosity with an active surface area of 1498 m2/g, a pore volume of 1.2 cm³/g, and a pore size of 4.6 nm featuring a harmonious presence of both micropores and mesopores. XRD and Raman spectroscopy confirmed FPC's amorphous state, and FTIR indicated oxygenated functional groups. As a supercapacitor electrode material, FPC demonstrated a specific capacitance of 156.3 F/g at 1A/g current density, an energy density of 5.1 Wh/Kg, a power density of 183.6 W/kg, and enduring cycling stability, retaining 98.4 % performance after 1000 charge-discharge cycles at 3A/g current density. In terms of dye adsorption, FPC exhibited remarkable efficiency. At a pH of 10.5 for MG dye, 0.030g of FPC displayed peak adsorption capacity, removing 95.6 % of 20 ppm MG within 2 min and an even more impressive 99.6 % within 6 min. These findings confirm FPC's potential from Alnus nepalensis as an outstanding supercapacitor electrode material and a rapid, efficient adsorbent for MG removal from industrial wastewater. This research suggests promising applications in energy storage and environmental remediation.

Abstract
Several studies have stated that an increase in wind power plants and unpredictable wind energy generation face several issues during over-voltage. In this study, an operational 8 MW wind farm in Nakhon Ratchasima province faced severe annual feeder trips 146 times, which is not permissible according to the manufacturers. The feeder trips are mainly attributed to high grid voltage caused by low load demand. This study developed a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to minimise feeder trips using DigiSILENT and utilized the higher feeder trip period of September to optimise BESS capacity with a 10 % grid load. Notably, a 5 MWh BESS maintained the grid voltage within an allowable range compared to the 1-4 MWh (increment of 1 MWh) throughout the operational period. Furthermore, a 5 MWh BESS was tested during low and high wind periods to assess the stability of over-voltage management. We found that the 5 MWh BESS controlled over-voltage and prevented feeder trips, resulting in enhanced power generation on selective days with high feeder trips, low wind speed, and high wind speed, generating 28.34 MWh, 0.33 MWh, and 76.67 MWh, respectively, compared to conditions without BESS. Additionally, we recommend that the 5 MWh BESS can enhance wind farm power stability and uphold the manufacturer's warranty.

Abstract
Chironomids (non-biting midges) inhabit almost every wet or semi-wet continental environment on Earth with probably 10,000 different species. Species occurrence and composition are undoubtedly limited by environmental harshness and food availability being reflected in their energy stores. Most animals store energy as glycogen and lipid. They enable the animals to survive adverse situations and to continue growth, development, and reproduction. This general statement is also true for insects and also particularly true for chironomid larvae. The rationale behind this research was, that probably any stress, any environmental burden, and any harmful influence increases the energy requirement of individual larvae depleting energy stores. We developed new methods to measure the glycogen and lipid content in small tissue samples. Here we show how to apply these methods to single chironomid larvae to demonstrate their energy stores. We compared different locations of the high Alpine rivers along harshness gradient densely populated and dominated by chironomid larvae. All samples show very low energy stores without any major differences. We found glycogen concentrations below 0.01% of dry weight (DW) and lipid concentrations below 5% of DW irrespective of the specific sampling point. These values are among the lowest ever observed in chironomid larvae. We demonstrate that individuals living in extreme environment are stressed leading to reduced energy stores in their bodies. This appears to be a general feature of high altitude regions. Our results provide new insights and a better understanding of population and ecological dynamics in harsh mountainous areas, also in view of a changing climate.

Abstract
Poplar waste is acted as feedstock to produce renewable biofuel and green chemical by catalytic pyrolysis using ferric nitrate and zinc chloride as additive. The additive contributes to the generation of furfural in bio-oil. Additive promotes the generation of H2 and inhibits the generation of CO with bio-gas heating value of 12.16 MJ (Nm3)-1. Biochar exists ZnO and Fe3O4 with large surface area, which could be used as absorbent and photocatalyst for tetracycline and ciprofloxacin removal. The tetracycline and ciprofloxacin adsorption amount of biochar are 316.41 and 255.23 mg g-1 respectively. While the photocatalytic degradation removal of the tetracycline and ciprofloxacin is close to 100%. The adsorption and photocatalytic degradation mechanism are investigate and analyzed using the density functional theory and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis. Biochar can be quickly recycled and regenerated after use. Besides, biochar can be used in lithium ion battery industry for energy storage, which specific capacity is 535 mAh g-1.

Abstract
To realize smart detection and safe operation of freight trains, a continuous and stable energy source is required for electrical equipment on the train. It is a feasible scheme to harvest the vibration energy of train suspension to supply power for on-board electrical equipment. This paper presents an energy-harvesting shock absorber (EHSA) based on the slider-crank mechanism and ratchet-pawl mechanism, which provide a vibration reduction effect and renewable electricity. To determine the damping performance and the power generation performance of EHSA, a dynamic model is established based on MATLAB. According to the tests on the mechanical testing and sensing (MTS) bench, the maximum power generation mechanical efficiency of the EHSA is 67.75%, and the maximum output power of the EHSA is 1.65W. In addition, the charging tests on the MTS bench show that the proposed device is applicable to power on-board electrical equipment on freight trains.
