Climate change and energy shortage crisis promptly necessitate achievement of sustainable development goals. However, there is no straightforward pathways for low-carbon transformation on building sectors, energy/carbon trading reverse promotion decarbonization strategies are not clear. In this study, a literature enumeration method with dialectical analysis was adopted state-of-the-art review comparison. Low-carbon in buildings were holistically reviewed, series integrated techniques, such as saving, clean supply, flexible demand response high self-consumption, even smart electric vehicle (EV) integration. Afterwards, flows building-related systems provided, peer-to-peer trading, thermal/power grids, energy-integrated EVs, carbon buildings. Last but the least, worldwide roadmaps across regions countries analysed, to identify most critical aspects immediate actions decarbonization. Results indicate that tradeoff required compromise confliction between insufficient feed-in tariff (FiT) incentives (low renewable penetration market) great economic pressures (high investment systems). pathway further enhanced first priority given passive/active energy-saving strategies, onsite supply then response. Energy/carbon will significantly affect utilization, acceptance from end-users actively install or participate EV interactions.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are widely recognized as efficient energy sources that have the potential to shape future of development. Among various types SOFCs, low-temperature operation proton-conducting SOFCs (H–SOFCs) offers distinct advantages for wide commercialization compared oxygen-ion conducting (O–SOFCs). However, H–SOFCs is hindered by several challenges, including slow oxygen reduction kinetics and long-term instability cathode materials. The electrochemical performance system in limited poor proton conductivity material scarcity surface reaction sites. Additionally, presence undesirable phases induced elements such Cr CO2 adversely affects chemical stability catalytic activity cathode. Thermal stress arising from mismatch coefficient thermal expansion between electrolyte further adds challenges. Therefore, this comprehensive review presents underlying mechanisms solutions overcome challenges H–SOFCs, leading higher efficiency wider H–SOFCs.

Abstract Water splitting, an efficient technology to produce purified hydrogen, normally requires high cell voltage (>1.5 V), which restricts the application of single atoms electrocatalyst in water oxidation due inferior stability, especially acidic environment. Substitution anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with hydrazine (HzOR) effectually reduces overall voltage. In this work, utilization iridium atom (Ir‐SA/NC) as robust hydrogen (HER) and HzOR 0.5 m H 2 SO 4 electrolyte is reported. Mass activity Ir‐SA/NC 37.02 A mg Ir −1 at overpotential 50 mV HER catalysis, boosted by 127‐time than Pt/C. Besides, only 0.39 V versus RHE attain 10 mA cm −2 dramatically lower OER (1.5 RHE); importantly, a superior stability achieved HzOR. Moreover, mass enhanced 83‐fold The situ Raman spectroscopy investigation suggests pathway follows *N →*2NH →*2NH→2N→*N →N for Ir‐SA/NC. assisted splitting demands drive, 1.25 splitting.

However, variable nature of renewable poses challenges in meeting complex practical requirements. To this issue, construction a multifunctional large-scale stationary storage system is considered an effective solution. This paper critically examines battery hydrogen hybrid systems. Both technologies face limitations hindering them from fully future needs, such as large capacity limited space, frequent with rapid response, continuous without loss. Batteries, their response (<1 s) high efficiency (>90 %), excel short-duration storage. self-discharge rate (>1 %) loss (∼20 restrict use long-duration Hydrogen, potential carrier, suitable large-scale, due its density, steady state, low Nevertheless, it less efficient (∼50 %).
