“…The direct or indirect flow of electrons from the interior of microorganisms to the anode surface is essential in determining the effectiveness of MFCs [287] . Enas et al [289] . used OCV to evaluate two MFCs with plain CB and g‐C 3 N 4 @CB anodes, monitoring the OCV and anode potentials over time until they reached a plateau.…”

Being one of the foremost enticing and intriguing innovations, heterogeneous photocatalysis has also been used to effectively gather, transform, and conserve sustainable sun‘s radiation for the production of efficient and clean fossil energy as well as a wide range of ecological implications. The generation of solar fuel‐based water splitting and CO2 photoreduction is excellent for generating alternative resources and reducing global warming. Developing an inexpensive photocatalyst can effectively split water into hydrogen (H2), oxygen (O2) sources, and carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuel sources, which is a crucial problem in photocatalysis. The metal‐free g‐C3N4 photocatalyst has a high solar fuel generation potential. This review covers the most recent advancements in g‐C3N4 preparation, including innovative design concepts and new synthesis methods, and novel ideas for expanding the light absorption of pure g‐C3N4 for photocatalytic application. Similarly, the main issue concerning research and prospects in photocatalysts based g‐C3N4 was also discussed. The current dissertation provides an overview of comprehensive understanding of the exploitation of the extraordinary systemic and characteristics, as well as the fabrication processes and uses of g‐C3N4.

“…Nowadays, much concern has been given to global warming resulting from fossil fuels [126,127]. Several methods have been carried out to minimize the reliance on fossil fuels, such as using efficient energy conversion devices such as fuel cells [128][129][130] that are efficient and environmentally friendly [131], improving the efficiency of the current energy conversion devices and/or using renewable energy sources [132][133][134][135]. Among these different methods, renewable energy sources are the most promising option, as they are sustainable and have no or low environmental impacts [136][137][138][139].…”

Metal–air batteries are a promising technology that could be used in several applications, from portable devices to large-scale energy storage applications. This work is a comprehensive review of the recent progress made in metal-air batteries MABs. It covers the theoretical considerations and mechanisms of MABs, electrochemical performance, and the progress made in the development of different structures of MABs. The operational concepts and recent developments in MABs are thoroughly discussed, with a particular focus on innovative materials design and cell structures. The classical research on traditional MABs was chosen and contrasted with metal–air flow systems, demonstrating the merits associated with the latter in terms of achieving higher energy density and efficiency, along with stability. Furthermore, the recent applications of MABs were discussed. Finally, a broad overview of challenges/opportunities and potential directions for commercializing this technology is carefully discussed. The primary focus of this investigation is to present a concise summary and to establish future directions in the development of MABs from traditional static to advanced flow technologies. A systematic analysis of this subject from a material and chemistry standpoint is presented as well.

“…Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that have high energy conversion efficiency, are environmentally friendly, and have demonstrated promising results using different renewable energy resources such as biomass [3,4]. Furthermore, fuel cells can be used as biosensors [5][6][7] and can be applied for simultaneous wastewater treatment and electricity generation such as in the case of microbial fuel cells [8][9][10][11] and direct urea fuel cells [12,13]. The fuel cell (FC) is an electrochemical device that transforms chemical energy in fuel directly to electricity with water, in the case of hydrogen being the fuel, and heat as by-products.…”

Fuel cells (FCs) have received huge attention for development from lab and pilot scales to full commercial scale. This is mainly due to their inherent advantage of direct conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy as a high-quality energy supply and, hence, higher conversion efficiency. Additionally, FCs have been produced at a wide range of capacities with high flexibility due to modularity characteristics. Using the right materials and efficient manufacturing processes is directly proportional to the total production cost. This work explored the different components of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and their manufacturing processes. The challenges associated with these manufacturing processes were critically analyzed, and possible mitigation strategies were proposed. The PEMFC is a relatively new and developing technology so there is a need for a thorough analysis to comprehend the current state of fuel cell operational characteristics and discover new areas for development. It is hoped that the view discussed in this paper will be a means for improved fuel cell development.
