The paper makes an analysis of the status quo and existing issues of small hydropower (SHP) in China and based on the logistic growth curve model forecasts the installed capacity of SHP and cost of newly built SHP in the future. It also explores the opportunity of the clean development mechanism...

Based on the developed analytical absorption model for 0.53 eV GaInAsSb alloy and the suggested material parameters, evaluating active layer controlled thermal conversion has been systematically done for both p-on-n and n-on-p configuration in its normal and inverted construction. A universal,...

This study evaluated hydrogen generation through the hydrolysis of an Al/NaBH4/Co/NaAlO2 system. Hydrogen generation performance can be altered by changing the Al/NaBH4 mass ratios, Co amount and NaAlO2 concentration. The optimized composite can achieve a hydrogen yield of more than 90% within...

One-factor-at-a-time design and orthogonal design were used in the experimental design methods to optimize bio-hydrogen (bio-H2) production from cornstalk wastes by anaerobic fermentation. Three series of experiments were designed to investigate the effects of substrate concentration, initial pH...

Electricity generation from thermal irradiation governed by GaSb diode has been systematically investigated in its normal and inverted configuration. It is demonstrated here that there is a critical base doping, 3 × 1017 cm−3, for the normal structure, and the superior output performance...
