Amid the global energy and climate crises, research on waste heat recovery has become
imperative, with extensive studies focusing on assessing waste heat potential and …

The low-grade waste heat is widely distributed in various scenarios and lacks suitable
technologies for recovery. Carnot battery is a large-scale electrical energy storage …

Passive solar membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging technology to alleviate water
scarcity. Recently, its performance has been enhanced by multistage design, though the …

Improving energy efficiency is one of the most reliable ways toward carbon neutrality. Most
previous studies have focused on how to reduce energy intensity; however, it is not enough …

In this paper, a combined passive graded metal foam and active mechanical rotation
strategy is proposed to simultaneously solve the problem of slow melting rate and non …

The decentralization of energy production and recovery of excess heat (EH) to reach climate
targets is essential for renewable and fully decarbonized heating systems. This paper …

China's iron and steel sector has experienced a significant rise in CO 2 emissions over
recent decades, largely due to complex interplays among energy use, material demand, and …

As a new type of energy storage technology utilizing thermal energy, the Carnot battery is
one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies due to its unlimited …

China constitutes over half of global steel demand and exhibits distinct investment-driven
patterns, differing significantly from developed countries. Understanding the investment …

This study devotes to the reverse electrodialysis (RED)–air gap diffusion distillation (AGDD)
coupled system of converting the low-grade waste heat recovered from the steel production …
