This study compared the performance of singular, binary, and ternary mixing of feedstocks for anaerobic digestion. Three wastes, including organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW), dairy manure, and corn stover, were tested under the mesophilic condition. Results showed that the binary and ternary mixing stabilised digesters while solely processing OFMSW resulted in pH drop and over accumulation of volatile fatty acids. The highest methane yield of 302.3 L/kg-VS was achieved with 50% OFMSW, 33% corn stover, and 17% dairy manure, which was about 5 times of that obtained from digesting OFMSW alone. The binary and ternary mixing led to multiple peaks in daily methane production, which evened out methane production throughout the 50-day digestion process. Economic analysis showed that solid digestate price, direct fixed capital cost, and labour cost significantly affected net present value (NPV). Ternary mixtures had the highest NPV and internal rate of return and were financially attractive under analysis conditions.

It remains challenging to design efficient bifunctional semiconductor materials in organic photovoltaic and photodetector devices. Here, we report a butterfly-shaped molecule, named WD-6, which exhibits low energy disorder and small reorganization energy due to its enhanced molecular rigidity and unique assembly with strong intermolecular interaction. The binary photovoltaic device based on PM6:WD-6 achieved an efficiency of 18.

Research efforts are increasingly directed towards the development of biodegradable polymers derived from renewable agricultural resources. Polymer blends, which combine multiple polymers, offer enhanced properties such as ductility and toughness while being more cost-effective compared to the development of specialized copolymers. This study examines nine binary and four ternary blends of polylactic acid (PLA), poly(butylene succinate--adipate) (PBSA), and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA).

The application of existing ternary betaine (Be)-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) faces inevitable limitations due to the low regenerability and water absorption capability of the DESs. In this study, three ternary Be-based DESs with different molar ratios were prepared by adding the promoter diethanolamine (DEA) to the binary system of Be and ethylene glycol (EG). The effects of DEA, temperature, and flow rate on CO absorption by the Be-based DESs were then investigated.

Introduction of a guest component into the active layer is a simple yet effective approach to enhance the performance of organic solar cells (OSCs). Despite various guest components successfully employed in the OSCs, efficient guest components require deliberate design and ingenious inspiration, which still remains a big challenge for developing high performance OSCs. In this work, we propose a concept of "structural gene" engineering to create a new "double-gene" small molecule (L-DBDD) by simply combining the structures of both donor PM6 and acceptor L8-BO.

Metal nanocatalysts supported on oxide scaffolds have been widely used in energy storage and conversion reactions. So far, the main research is still focused on the growth, density, size, and activity enhancement of exsolved nanoparticles (NPs). However, the lack of precise regulation of the type and composition of NPs elements under reduction conditions has restricted the architectural development of in situ exsolution systems.
