However, their low energy density and high cost continue to limit widespread adoption. This study aims to synthesize and critically evaluate recent advances in enhancing VRFB performance through innovations in electrode materials, electrolyte chemistry, and membrane design. Methods: This study adopts a comprehensive literature review approach, analyzing theoretical and experimental research published in recent years. The review focuses on advancements in nanostructured electrode surfaces, optimized electrolyte formulations, and functional hybrid membranes. Theoretical insights from materials science and electrochemistry were integrated to establish the correlation between structure, performance, and efficiency. Findings: The reviewed studies reveal that nanostructured and heteroatom-doped electrodes enhance redox kinetics and minimize side reactions, while optimized electrolytes with mixed acids and stabilizers improve vanadium solubility and thermal stability. Hybrid polymer–inorganic membranes effectively reduce vanadium ion crossover and maintain high proton conductivity, thereby increasing coulombic and energy efficiencies. Collectively, these advancements improve power output, reduce self-discharge, and enhance long-term cycling performance, moving VRFBs closer to economic feasibility. Conclusion: Advancements in material design and system optimization are pivotal in overcoming the limitations of conventional VRFBs. Continued research on scalable, low-cost materials, electrolyte recycling, and hybrid integration will further promote sustainable energy storage. Novelty/Originality of this article: This review uniquely integrates material-level and system-level perspectives, offering a holistic understanding of how innovations across components collectively advance high-efficiency, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable VRFB technology for next-generation renewable energy systems.

Abstract

Background: Lignin valorization into high-value chemicals is crucial for sustainable development. This study focused on optimizing the catalytic conversion of benzyl phenyl ether (BPE), a lignin model compound, to vanillin and phenolic compounds. Methods: Hierarchical H-ZSM-5 was synthesized via a dual-template method and subsequently modified by wet impregnation with bimetallic cobalt and molybdenum oxides (CoMoO4/H-ZSM-5). Catalyst properties were thoroughly characterized using various techniques, including XRD, FTIR, XRF, N2-physisorption, and SEM-EDS mapping. Reaction conditions, specifically Co:Mo ratio, temperature, and reaction time, were optimized using the Box-Behnken design (BBD), and product yields were quantified by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Findings: Characterization confirmed successful catalyst synthesis, organic template removal, and bimetal oxide incorporation without significant structural damage. Catalytic tests demonstrated 100% BPE conversion. The highest experimental vanillin yield achieved was 54.69%. BBD analysis revealed that the interaction between Co:Mo ratio and temperature, as well as the quadratic effect of Co:Mo ratio, were the most influential factors impacting product yields. The optimal parameters for maximizing vanillin and phenolic yield were determined to be a Co:Mo ratio of 3:7, a temperature of 169 °C, and a reaction time of 31 minutes. While the phenolic model showed a reasonable fit (R² = 0.76), the vanillin model exhibited a lower fit (R² = 0.34) with significant lack-of-fit. Conclusion: This research provides crucial insights into the efficient production of high-value chemicals from BPE, offering a comprehensive optimization approach for the CoMoO4/H-ZSM-5 catalytic system. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study represents a novel contribution to lignin valorization.

Abstract

Background: 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has gained increasing attention as a key bio-based intermediate for the production of polyethylene furanoate (PEF) and other sustainable polyesters, offering a viable alternative to fossil-derived monomers. Although FDCA is conventionally produced via oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), direct one-pot conversion of glucose remains challenging due to the requirement for integrated catalytic functions and the strong influence of reaction conditions. Hierarchical zeolites modified with transition-metal oxides are promising for one-pot glucose-to-FDCA conversion; however, the effects of reaction temperature and solvent composition have not been systematically evaluated and are examined here using hierarchical ZSM-5, NiO-modified ZSM-5, and NiO catalysts. Methods: Hierarchical ZSM-5 was synthesized via a dual-template method and modified with NiO through an impregnation–spray technique to introduce redox-active sites. The catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen physisorption, and Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray to establish correlations between structural, compositional, and textural properties and catalytic performance. Catalytic reactions were conducted at varying temperatures using a γ-valerolactone–water solvent system with different volume ratios. Findings: NiO-modified hierarchical ZSM-5 exhibited superior catalytic performance compared to the parent zeolite and NiO, achieving a maximum FDCA yield of 2.36% at 150 °C with an optimal γ-valerolactone–water ratio of 1:1. Higher FDCA yield over NiO-modified hierarchical ZSM-5 reflects the combined effects of hierarchical porosity, NiO species, reaction temperature, and solvent ratio. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that NiO-modified hierarchical ZSM-5 can promote one-pot glucose-to-FDCA conversion, with reaction temperature and solvent ratio identified as key parameters for performance optimization. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides a systematic assessment of the effects of reaction temperature and γ-valerolactone–water solvent ratio on FDCA formation over NiO-modified hierarchical ZSM-5 in a one-pot glucose conversion system, establishing catalyst and process design principles.

Abstract

Background: The development of effective electrochemical conversion technologies is imperative due to the rising global CO2 emissions. A promising platform for CO2 reduction to formate is copper electrode, which can stabilize the carbon dioxide radical that is essential for CO2 conversion. Methods: In this work, Cu foam was electrodeposited in situ on a copper plate with sodium citrate acting as a capping agent (CuF@Cu), with variation of potential deposition were 3V and 5V. Findings: The foam structure of Cu in Cu electrode was confirmed with SEM and XRD measurements for both potential deposition variations. Furthermore, CO2 electroreduction was carried out in a flow cell under ideal conditions, which included aeration for 20 minutes, a flow rate of 75 mL min⁻¹, and an applied potential of −0.33 V vs. Ag/AgCl. For formic acid conversion, the Faradaic efficiency rose from 14.18% (Cu bare) to 26.73% (CuF@Cu 3V) which an 88.7% improvement over bare copper. Conclusion: The enhanced performance is attributed to the increased surface area and three-dimensional foam structure, which augments active sites for CO₂ activation. This work demonstrates that simple electrodeposition of copper foam is an effective strategy for improving electrochemical CO₂ reduction efficiency. Novelty/Originality of this article: These findings demonstrate that CuF@Cu makes using this straightforward electrodeposition technique a viable option for CO2 to formate conversion.
