Summary: This work examines the impact of different thermal management systems on lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. The use of phase change material alone raises the battery temperature to a hazardous level. However, when combined with a thermoelectric cooling system, the average battery temperature is reduced. Nevertheless, the battery temperature still remains within a dangerous range, compromising its performance and safety. The inclusion of fins further decreases the average battery temperature.

Summary: This paper summarized the preparation techniques of MoS2 hollow structural materials with different dimensions, including the hard template, soft template, self-template, and template-free approaches. The 0D hollow MoS2 exhibits improved diffusion kinetics of ions and electrons and restricts the stacking of MoS2. In addition, the 1D and 3D hollow MoS2 provide oriented electron diffusion and perforative pores for electrolyte permeation and more active sites, resulting in excellent rate capability and cycling stability. This paper provides inspiration for constructing MoS2 hollow structural materials and offers constructive suggestions for synthesizing hollow materials with excellent electrochemical performance.

Summary: This study investigates the flow model of hybrid nanofluids (gold-silver/engine oil) over a stretched cylindrical surface and a sheet in a permeable medium. The novelty lies in considering surface-catalyzed reaction and homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions to accelerate chemical reactions. The heat transport phenomena are enhanced with the support of Joule heating, heat absorption/generation, and the convective heat boundary condition. Ordinary differential equations are obtained using boundary layer theory and numerically solved using the Keller box method. The results show that the thermal profile enhances while the velocity field reduces for different magnetic parameter estimates, and the fluid concentration decreases when the surface-catalyzed parameter increases.

Summary: This study explores the techno-economic feasibility of a solar photovoltaic (PV) integrated water electrolysis and waste incineration system. Three different strategies were envisioned, with PV + Battery consuming less energy compared to auto-ignition and PV + Secondary-Electrolyzer. However, the capital cost of PV + Battery was higher. In terms of energy consumption relative to waste input, PV + Battery showed the highest reduction, while cost-wise, it was projected to be more expensive in the long run.
