Summary: During oxy-fuel combustion, the catalytic effect of alkali and alkaline earth metals (AAEMs) can inhibit the emission of NO, but this effect is influenced by temperature and oxygen concentration. The catalytic effect of Na on NO reduction weakens as temperature increases, but strengthens as oxygen concentration increases. The K-Na binary additive is more effective in reducing NO emissions.

Summary: The continuous growth of global electricity penetration has provided modern energy for alleviating energy poverty, but its impact on carbon neutrality has been overlooked. The research reveals that clean electricity from traditional fossil energy and renewable energy has a positive influence on the greenhouse effect. Eradicating energy poverty can effectively alleviate the greenhouse effect, especially in non-Belt and Road Initiative (B&RI) nations.

Summary: This study reviewed three potential risks of double skin facade (DSF): overheating, structural, and fire risks. It analyzed their manifestations, influencing factors, and possible mitigation strategies. The study found that optimizing design parameters or adding components can reduce overheating risk, improving building shapes and vent sizes can reduce structural risk, and optimizing design parameters and adding specific materials can mitigate fire risk. The study emphasizes the importance of considering the energy performance, application scenarios, and corresponding risk areas of different types of DSFs.

Summary: This study analyzes the structure, function, operation, and failure characteristics of district heating networks (DHNs) and proposes vulnerability analysis methods. The effectiveness of these methods is validated through application to a DHN in a Chinese city. The study finds that the heat source connectivity efficiency loss rate effectively characterizes topological and functional vulnerability. It also reveals that controllable DHNs have higher functional vulnerability under large area failure scenarios.

Summary: Different ligand functionalized bimetallic organic framework composites with phosphotungstic acid (HPW) were prepared and used as catalysts for the esterification of methanol with oleic acid. The HPW/(Zr/Ce)UiO-66-NO2 catalyst showed the most promising catalytic features, including the highest number of strong Bronsted and Lewis acid sites, wider pores, higher surface area, and synergistic catalytic effects with the (Zr/Ce)UiO-66-NO2 framework. The catalytic activity of the HPW/(Zr/Ce)UiO-66-NO2 catalyst was higher than other catalysts, and it also exhibited good reusability over multiple cycles.
