Can mesoporous materials be commercially viable for energy applications?

To be commercially viable for energy applications, the performance of mesoporous materials must surpass existing materials at comparable manufacturing costs. Achieving this while balancing the different characteristics of mesoporous materials will be challenging.

Are metallic materials accelerating technological progress?

Metallic materials have enabled technological progress over thousands of years. The accelerated demand for structural alloys in key sectors such as energy, construction, safety, and transportation is driving predicted production growth rates of up to 200 per cent until 2050.

Why is methanol a promising organic carrier?

Methanol is also a promising organic carrier storing 12.5 wt% H 2, 18 exhibiting an energy density of around 4.3 kWh L −1 in the liquid phase. 19 The technology for methanol production is well established in the industrial context, but the H 2 reverse synthesis requires an improvement of catalyst materials. 20

What are the feasible values of the production (kg/day) and voltage (V) combinations?

The feasible values of the production (kg/day) and voltage (V) combinations are defined by the region ABCD on the left plot. These values are also linearly related to the current (A) and consumption intensity (kWh/kg) .

Do 0-D models predict the performance of a PEM-based plant?

Two 0-D models have been implemented to estimate their performance. The results clearly indicate higher η(I) and RTE values for the SOFC-based plant (71% and 26.2%, respectively) with respect to the PEM-based system, (59% and 22%, respectively).
