- With the large-scale use of intermittent renewable energy worldwide, such as wind energy and solar energy, energy storage systems are urgently needed and have been rapidly developed. Technologies of compressed gas energy storage (CGES) and liquefied gas energy storage (LGES) are playing an important role, and air has been commonly used as working fluid. CO2 is another potential working fluid and attracting more and more attention due to the rise of CO2 capture and utilization. However, it is still unclear which is the better working fluid. This paper comparatively analyzed the performance of CGES and LGES systems using air and CO2 as working fluids. Both diabatic and adiabatic CGES are considered. Simulation results show that except diabatic CGES systems, using CO2 could achieve a similar or even higher round-trip efficiency than using air. In addition, the use of CO2 instead of air as a working fluid has additional advantages, such as a lower storage temperature can be achieved at the same storage pressure for the adiabatic CGES system; and a higher condensing temperature can be achieved at the same condensing pressure for the LGES system, which can benefit the system design and operation.

- Black shales are characterized by a high content of organic carbon (C). Few studies have focused on the influence of land use on soil organic C (SOC) fractions from soils derived from black shale (black shale soils). The objective of this study was to elucidate the influence of land use on SOC fractions in black shale soils combining chemical determination and stable C isotope analysis techniques. Herein, we determined labile organic C (LOC), semilabile organic C (Semi-LOC), and recalcitrant organic C (ROC) fractions in various depths of soils in paddy fields (0-70 cm) and forests (0-120 cm) from black shale distribution region in Hunan province, China, and then investigated delta C-13 values of these soils. Results showed that the contents of LOC, Semi-LOC, and ROC in paddy soils (1.63-7.35 g kg(-1), 0.35-1.21 g kg(-1), and 3.75-14.8 g kg(-1), respectively) and forest soils (0.73-4.94 g kg(-1), 0.12-0.89 g kg(-1), and 1.44-8.96 g kg(-1), respectively) are significantly decreased with increasing depth. The contribution made by LOC to SOC in paddy soils was significantly lower than that in forest soils, while the contribution made by ROC to SOC was significantly higher in paddy soils than that in forest soils. In these two land uses, the delta C-13 values were higher in SOC compared to the ROC fraction, while the delta C-13 values were close in the ROC fraction below 20 cm soil depth. Our study indicated that i) new C is mainly limited to the surface soil layer (0-10 cm) in forests, while it can be leached along the soil profiles in paddy fields; ii) the estimated ROC pool is similar to 900 Pg within the 0-100 cm soil layer in terrestrial ecosystems, which should better represent the ability of soil C sequestration.
