Abstract. The use of plastic waste to develop high added value materials, also known as upcycling, is a useful strategy towards the development of more sustainable materials. More specifically, the use of plastic waste as a feedstock for synthesising new materials for energy storage devices not only provides a route to upgrading plastic waste ...
Following a decade of collaboration with Loughborough University, Plastic Energy announced the opening of its new research and development labs in November 2022. The new labs, located in Loughborough University Science and Enterprise Park (LUSEP) will be the hub for Plastic Energy''s work on further development and optimisation of its unique …
The most widely investigated approach to upcycle plastic waste for energy storage applications is through combustion of the plastic waste to produce carbonaceous materials.12–16 arbon materials with large specific surface area and high electric conductivity are

Increasing demand for portable and flexible electronic devices requires seamless integration of the energy storage system with other electronic components. This ever-growing area has urged on the rapid development of new electroactive materials that not only possess excellent electrochemical properties but h
The fundamental objective of this review is to comprehensively investigate the types, properties, and biodegradability of BPs, preparation techniques, modification strategies, and their applications in energy storage devices. The addition of nanoparticles enhances the overall performance of the BP and is one of the finest modification strategies.
Waste plastics were made into thermal energy storage materials. • Thermal conductivity of as-prepared PCMs is 3 times higher than pristine PW. • The as-prepared PCMs display promising thermal stability and cyclability. • …
In an open-access article published in Energy Storage, the researchers describe a sustainable, straightforward process for upcycling polyethylene terephthalate plastic waste, or PET, found in soda bottles and many other consumer products, into a porous carbon nanostructure. They first dissolved pieces of PET plastic bottles in a solvent.

delocalization determines the size of the energy gap and hence the conductivity of the CP (i.e. metallic, semiconducting or insulating, Fig. 4).27 This conjugation and alternation of bonds provide ...
Among the total 17 UN-SDGs (sustainable development goals) proposed by the United Nations, the goal 7 basically ensures easy global availability of sustainable, clean, cost effective, reliable, and modern energy. Researchers are …
Since the stored energy can be divided into at least two parts: the energy of stress field connected with uniform and non-uniform deformation in micro-scale at the grain level, the energy storage rate can also be divided into two appropriate terms. The stored energy E s 1 connected with non-uniform deformation is a sum of a lattice stretch …
Therefore, this study proposes a novel CCHP system integrated with multi-energy storage system, allowing flexible release cooling load, heating load and power to meet diverse user load profiles. Mathematical modeling, thermodynamic analysis and environmental assessment are conducted.
1. Introduction Flexibility is essential in electrical grids with a high penetration of Renewable Energy Systems (RES). Here, flexibility is defined as the capability of a power system to maintain balance between generation and load under uncertainty [1], or in the context of an electric power system, as the ability to vary the …
