Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a promising candidate for cost effective means of CO 2 capture and higher energy production from power plants. The CLC process uses an oxygen carrier (usually a metal) for the separation of oxygen from air and the oxygen is then used for fuel combustion. The two processes occur in two inter-connected reactors which are generally termed air and fuel reactors. The fuel combustion process results in a rich stream of CO 2 and water. The CO 2 stream is captured with negligible energy consumption by condensation of the exhaust gases. In this paper, the technical and economic performance of a power plant using CLC with two methods of waste heat utilization from the plant exhaust gas streams is studied. The plant studied is a natural gas powered plant of 50MWth gross input energy. The waste heat is utilized either for additional output energy generation using a steam turbine or for cooling using absorption chilling. The economic analysis shows a higher economic value of the waste utilization for cooling purpose compared to additional power generation. For the absorption chilling system, the cost of electricity (COE) is about 5.5 cents/kWh and has a payback period of about 6.4 years using the method employed in the study while the payback period is 3.3 years using a generic methodology employed in other studies.

We report on an extensive study of ZnO materials with cagelike motifs in clusters and bulk phases through structural searches using the minima hopping method. A novel putative ground state was discovered for the (ZnO)32 cluster with a tubelike structure, closely related to the previously reported (ZnO)24 ground-state cage geometry. Furthermore, the effect of ionization on the geometries and energetic ordering of (ZnO)n clusters with n=3–10,12 was studied by directly sampling the energy landscape of the ionized system. Our results indicate that the transition from ring and planar structures to three-dimensional cages occurs at larger cluster sizes than in the neutral system. Inspired by the bottom-up design philosophy and the predominance of cagelike structures in medium-sized clusters, a search for crystalline ZnO was conducted aimed specifically at low-density polymorphs, resulting in the discovery of 57 novel metastable phases. The voids in these low-density materials closely resemble the hollow cage structures of small (ZnO)n/(ZnO)n+ clusters with n<16. Analogous to clathrate materials, these voids could serve to accommodate guest atoms to tailor the materials properties for various applications.

Polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes with nanophase-separated structure induced by non-ionic hydrophilic side chain are designed and fabricated for vanadium flow batteries (VFBs). The designed PBI membranes are prepared by grafting non-ionic hydrophilic side chains via an N-substitution reaction. This molecular modification induces nanophase separation and formation of hydrophilic clusters, which act as effective proton transfer pathways, hence dramatically improving the proton conductivity. Meanwhile, the vanadium permeability is inappreciable due to the appropriate size of hydrophilic clusters and Donnan exclusion of protonated grafted-PBI membranes (GPBI). Free from ion exchange groups, GPBI membranes maintain the good chemical stability of the pristine PBI membrane. As a result, the designed membrane exhibits an impressive performance, combining ultrahigh proton conductivity, ion selectivity and chemical stability. The GPBI-based VFB exhibits a coulombic efficiency of over 99% and an energy efficiency of 84% at 120 mA cm−2, the highest reported for dense PBI membranes for VFB applications. The decent stability of GPBI membranes is demonstrated by the stable performance over 200 charge–discharge cycles and the ex situ immersion test. This work provides a new insight into the design of high-performance PBI membranes for VFB applications.
