Over the years, many researchers and experts have been drawn to the potential of torrefying biomass materials to produce a superior solid biofuel. This process enhances durability, improves grindability, increases bulk density and calorific value, and ultimately results in higher energy density compared to the untreated biomass. During the torrefaction process, the researchers heat the …

The energy density of conventional lithium-ion batteries with graphite anodes is getting close to its theoretical maximum. One of the most promising approaches to significantly increase the energy density of lithium-ion batteries is to swap out the typical graphite anodes with high-capacity silicon-based anodes. The practical use of silicon anodes is, however, severely constrained by …

The world has been consuming fossil fuels at an alarming rate since the industrial revolution in the 18th century. The widespread use of fossil fuels has led to two main crises: energy depletion and global warming. As such, developing technologies to harness renewable energy sources and reduce climate change has become a critical priority in …
Residential areas throughout the world have problems with waste disposal with over 2 billion tonnes of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) produced annually around the world. The anticipated population growth of 9.5 billion by 2050, along with industrialization and rapid development of urban and suburban areas, is expected to keep increasing the amount of MSW generated. …
