A comprehensive review of the applications of machine learning for HVAC

Siyang Zhou, A.A. Shah, Puiki Leung et al. · 1 Sep 2023

Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) accounts for around 40% of the total building energy consumption. It has therefore become a major target for reductions, in terms of both energy usage and CO2 emissions. In the light of progress in building intelligence and energy technologies, traditional methods for HVAC optimization, control, and fault diagnosis will struggle…

Progress and issues in p-i-n type perovskite solar cells

Hui Zhang, Nam‐Gyu Park · 13 Oct 2023

P-i-n type perovskite solar cells (PSCs) manifest some promising advantages in terms of remarkable operational stability, low-temperature processability, and compatibility for multi-junction devices, whereas relatively low efficiency compared to n-i-p type PSCs because of mismatched energy level alignment and poor interface quality at both n- and p-type contacts. Recently, great progress has been achieved in…

A review of efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction at large current density

Youtao Yao, Jiahui Lyu, Xingchuan Li et al. · 14 Jul 2024

Within the framework of achieving global carbon neutrality, utilizing electrocatalytic water splitting to produce “green hydrogen” holds significant promise as an effective solution. The strategic development of economic, efficient, and robust anode oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts is one of the imminent bottlenecks for scalable application of electrolyzing water into hydrogen and oxygen, particularly under…

Heat pump assists in energy transition: Challenges and approaches

Xiaoxue Kou, R.Z. Wang, Shuai Du et al. · 2 Dec 2023

Aligning with ambitious targets and commitments towards carbon neutrality, countries around the world are desperately seeking an energy transition to cope with the stark reality of the climate crisis and the surge in demand for heating and cooling. Increased penetration of renewable power is foreshadowing a shift in global energy dominance, from fossil fuel based…

Non-noble metal single atom-based catalysts for electrochemical reduction of CO2: Synthesis approaches and performance evaluation

Yichen Sun, Xiaolu Liu, Mingyu Zhu et al. · 21 Jun 2023

Limiting global carbon dioxide (CO2) emission is imperative to alleviate global warming and meet the growing energy demand. Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction is a promising approach for achieving this goal. The utilization of single atom-based catalysts (SACs) has garnered substantial attention in this particular field. Although noble metal SACs offer many advantages in CO2 reduction, their…

DeCarbon template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the DeCarbon format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the DeCarbon template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does DeCarbon use?
DeCarbon uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, DeCarbon 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to DeCarbon?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready DeCarbon document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the DeCarbon template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the DeCarbon format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes DeCarbon?
DeCarbon is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's DeCarbon template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready DeCarbon PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official DeCarbon template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the DeCarbon template cost?
You can start writing in the DeCarbon template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready DeCarbon PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
