Interface Engineering Modulation Combined with Electronic Structure Modification of Zn-Doped NiO Heterostructure for Efficient Water-Splitting Activity by Gundegowda Kalligowdanadoddi Kiran (17654768)

“…Also, the results obtained from density functional theory (DFT + <i>U</i> = 0–8 eV), where <i>U</i> is the on-site Coulomb repulsion parameter also known as Hubbard <i>U</i>, based electronic structure calculations confirm that Zn doping constructively modifies the electronic structure, in both the valence band and the conduction band, and found to be suitable in tailoring the carrier’s effective masses of electrons and holes. The decrease in electron’s effective masses together with large differences between the effective masses of electrons and holes is noticed, which is found to be mainly responsible for achieving the best water-splitting performance from a 9% Zn-doped NiO sample prepared under vacuum.…”

Evaluating and optimizing the operation of the hydropower system in the Upper Yellow River: A general LINGO-based integrated framework by Yuan Si (169638)

“…The results are as follows. 1) Assuming that the reservoirs are all in operation (in fact, some reservoirs were not operational or did not collect all of the relevant data during the study period), the energy production is estimated as 267.7, 357.5, and 358.3×10⁸ KWh for the Qinghai Power Grid during dry, normal, and wet years, respectively. 2) Assuming that the hydropower system is operated jointly, the firm output can reach 3110 MW (reliability of 100%) and 3510 MW (reliability of 90%). Moreover, a decrease in energy production from the Longyangxia Reservoir can bring about a very large increase in firm output from the hydropower system. 3) The maximum energy production can reach 297.7, 363.9, and 411.4×10⁸ KWh during dry, normal, and wet years, respectively. …”
