    Incorporation of CuWO4 With Hollow Tubular g-C3N4: Harnessing the Potential in Photocatalytic Degradation, Hydrogen Production, and Supercapacitor Applications
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2026) Erdem, Nurseli Gorener; Caglar, Basar; Inan, Ece; Tuna, Ozlem; Ertis, Irem Firtina; Simsek, Esra Bilgin
    Driven by the urgent need for sustainable energy conversion and environmental remediation technologies, the development of multifunctional materials has gained growing interest. Herein, a bifunctional heterostructure was fabricated by depositing copper tungstate (CuWO4) spherical particles over hollow tubular graphitic carbon nitride (HTCN) using an ultrasonic-assisted thermal impregnation method. The photocatalytic activities were evaluated through tetracycline degradation and hydrogen evolution tests, while electrochemical measurements were conducted to assess the supercapacitor performance. CuWO4@HTCN composite achieved up to 83% degradation efficiency, a hydrogen evolution rate of 2538 mu mol g1 h-1, and a specific capacitance of 212 F g1, demonstrating its strong potential as a multifunctional material for solar-driven environmental and energy storage applications. The enhanced photocatalytic performance was attributed to extended visible light absorption ability, efficient charge separation, and suppressed electron-hole recombination resulting from the formation of a Z-scheme heterojunction. Furthermore, the superior capacitance behavior was ascribed to enhanced electrical conductivity and ion transport, enabled by the porous, nitrogen-rich HTCN structure. The increased HTCN content in the composite improved pore accessibility and active site availability while an excessive amount of CuWO4 reduced electrochemical performance. These results highlight the multifunctional applicability of CuWO4@HTCN composite in photocatalytic hydrogen production and supercapacitor systems, emphasizing their relevance for renewable energy technologies.

    Design and Comprehensive Analysis of a Solar-Biomass Hybrid System With Hydrogen Production and Storage: Towards Self-Sufficient Wastewater Treatment Plants
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Tabriz, Zahra Hajimohammadi; Kasaeian, Alibakhsh; Mohammadpourfard, Mousa; Shariaty-Niassar, Mojtaba
    This paper comprehensively investigates a novel solar-biomass hybrid system designed to produce power, heating, hydrogen, methane, and digestate. The system's design is grounded in regional weather patterns and site-specific resource availability. A comprehensive thermodynamic and exergoeconomic analysis, based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics, is performed alongside parametric studies to evaluate the influence of key parameters on system performance. Multi-objective optimization employs a genetic algorithm facilitated by an artificial neural network to reduce computational time and balance exergy efficiency and total cost. The Pareto front is generated, and the TOPSIS method is employed to identify the optimal trade-off point. The system integrates an auxiliary boiler powered by stored hydrogen and methane to maintain consistent operation during periods of low solar irradiance. Key findings include a base-case overall energy efficiency of 78.67 % and exergy efficiency of 60.41 %. The base-case unit cost of hydrogen is determined to be $3.174/kg, demonstrating competitive viability. Integrating the biomass subsystem with the solar plant resulted in a 40 % increase in exergy efficiency and a 35 % improvement in the total unit cost of products compared to a stand-alone solar system. Optimized system parameters yielded an exergy efficiency of 55.52 % and a total cost rate of 14.98 M $/year. These results confirm the potential of this hybrid system as a promising sustainable solution for developing self-sufficient wastewater treatment plants.

    A New Electro-Biomembrane Integrated Renewable-Based System To Produce Power, Fresh Water and Hydrogen for Sustainable Communities
    (Elsevier, 2025) Goren, A. Yagmur; Dincer, Ibrahim; Khalvati, Ali
    As the consequences of global warming become more severe, it is more crucial than ever to capitalize on all locally accessible potential renewable energy sources and produce sufficient useable energy outputs to meet community demands while causing the least damage to the ecosystem. Therefore, this paper focuses on a unique parabolic trough collector solar system-powered electro-biomembrane unit that combines a heat and power system with fresh water, electricity and hydrogen production. The proposed integrated system contains the following subsystems: a combining parabolic trough collector solar system, an organic Rankine cycle, a steam Rankine cycle, a multi-stage flash desalination system, and an electro-biomembrane H2 and freshwater production system. A thorough analysis and parametric research are performed on the multigeneration system to determine how important characteristics affect system performance and evaluate the energy and exergy efficiencies, and exergy destruction levels for particular system elements. The study results show that solar irradiation is the most critical parameter for improving system performance. The highest freshwater production of 1,303,333.3 L/day is observed at the solar irradiation of 935,768 kWh/day. Furthermore, the combined output of three electricity production technologies exceeds 2,000,000 kWh/day, highlighting the ability of the system to harness solar thermal energy effectively. The study findings indicate that using solar power and biomass as renewable energy sources, the proposed integrated system provided 328.56 kg of biohydrogen per day. Overall, the energy and exergy efficiencies of the integrated system are obtained as 34.3 and 29.5 %, respectively.

    Towards Renewable Energy Islands in Türkiye: Potential and Challenges
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Karipoglu, Fatih; Denizli, Osmancan
    The necessity of renewables is increasing day by day due to increasing energy demand. Therefore, novel approaches and methods for producing electricity in an environmentally friendly manner are valuable and critical. The seas have enormous potential in terms of wind, waves, solar, and hydrogen systems. The study presents the investigation of the potential dynamics for energy island formation on T & uuml;rkiye borders. Also, targets, legislation, and environmental and social concerns are discussed comprehensively. Results show that offshore wind and hydrogen are promising systems shortly while solar and wave energy needs more research for T & uuml;rkiye. The Marmara and Aegean Seas are considered technically feasible for offshore wind installations, while the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas have the highest technical solar potential. In addition, the highest wave power is detected along the line from I(center dot)zmir to Antalya Coast while hydrogen energy systems receive great interest with academic and industrial projects in the Marmara Coastline. Profiting from marine energy, marine spatial planning, and grid availability are detected as the shortcoming issues in T & uuml;rkiye. The study could give critical information to energy planners, and decision makers for potential projects.

    Cleaner Production of Biohydrogen Using Poplar Leaves: Experimental and Optimization Studies
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Goren, A. Yagmur; Kenez, Muratcan; Dincer, Ibrahim; Khalvati, Ali
    Biohydrogen (bioH2) is recognized as a potential carbon-neutral energy vector, and developing novel methods has received increasing attention with a prime goal of producing H2 more efficient and cost effective manner. This study aimed to develop a unique reactor to investigate dark fermentative H2 production from poplar biomass using commercially available and inexpensive microorganism cultures. Therefore, six factors of the Box-Behnken design (BBD) were performed to evaluate the individual and combined effects of operational param-eters: acid concentration (2-10%), biomass concentration (2-10 g), initial pH (5-8), temperature (30-40 degrees C), mixing ratio (150-350 rpm), and microorganism concentration (2-6 g) on bioH2 production. Among the oper-ational parameters, the acid concentration was the most effective parameter on bioH2 production. The bioH2 production increased from 11.33 to 18.15 mg/g biomass with increasing acid concentration from 6 to 10%. Moreover, the optimum levels of operational variables were as follows: acid concentration of 9.9%, biomass amount of 2 g, pH of 6.56, temperature of 35 degrees C, mixing ratio of 345 rpm, and microorganism amount of 4.5 g for the highest bioH2 production of 20 mg/g-biomass according to the experimental design. Consequently, the bioH2 production performance of the dark fermentation process showed that bioH2 production from poplar biomass using commercially available microorganisms had a competitive advantage.
