Exploring Decarbonization Strategies and Sustainable Alternatives for Cement
Abstract: As one of the most evolving economic sectors, building construction creates wealth and income while making a significant contribution to global development. Almost 40% of all carbon emissions, both direct and indirect, come from this industry. It is crucial to lower emissions from the manufacture of cement to mitigate climate change. The cement industry must be made less carbon-based. The need to address the environmental effects of traditional cement production, …

Low-Grade Heat Recovery: Emerging Materials and Systems for Efficient Utilization
Abstract: Low-grade heat (LGH), generally characterized by temperatures below 200°C, constitutes a significant portion of wasted thermal energy in industrial, commercial, and even residential processes. Despite its vast availability, the efficient recovery and utilization of LGH remains underdeveloped due to its inherently low exergy content and the limitations of traditional heat recovery technologies. The creation of cutting-edge materials and creative system-level approaches for LGH recovery has accelerated significantly as companies continue …

Recent Advancements and Current Status of Hydrogen Fuel Cells: Materials, Systems, Applications, and Commercialization Prospects
Abstract: In the transportation, stationary electricity, and industrial sectors, hydrogen fuel cells have become a crucial clean-energy technology that can help achieve worldwide decarbonization. Significant progress has been made in catalyst design, membrane engineering, stack architecture, system optimization, and hydrogen generation pathways throughout the last ten years (2018–2025). Platinum group metal (PGM) loading has been significantly reduced, single-atom and transition-metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts for oxygen reduction have been developed (Wu et al., …
