“…This expression simply establishes whether the stock of a material on a given day is positive or negative. The next stage was the calculation of the shortage day of each material ShD i , as shown in expression (12). The function sign was used to collapse the value from B i,t into either 1 or −1.…”

“…Indeed, according to Khan et al [11], publications on sustainable supply chains have been steadily increasing, especially after 2013, where the yearly number of publications increased from 21 in 2013 to 66 in 2018. More recent publications on the subject show that this trend has continued, with Hmouda et al [12] showing a continuing increase up until 2021 (note that the publication was submitted in 2022).…”

Within the framework of sustainable supply chain management and logistics, this work tackles the complex challenge of optimizing inventory levels across varied storage facilities. It introduces a comprehensive many-objective optimization model designed to minimize holding costs, energy consumption, and shortage risk concurrently, thereby integrating sustainability considerations into inventory management. The model incorporates the distinct energy consumption profiles associated with various storage types and evaluates the influence of stock levels on energy usage. Through an examination of a 60-day production schedule, the dynamic relationship between inventory levels and operational objectives is investigated, revealing a well-defined set of optimal solutions that highlight the trade-off between energy savings and shortage risk. Employing a 30-day rolling forward analysis with daily optimization provides insights into the evolving nature of inventory optimization. Additionally, the model is extended to encompass a five-objective optimization by decomposing shortage risk, offering a nuanced comprehension of inventory risks. The outcomes of this research provide a range of optimal solutions, empowering supply chain managers to make informed decisions that strike a balance among cost, energy efficiency, and supply chain resilience.

“…However, the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of water electrolysis systems need improvement for wider integration with renewable energy sources . Nuclear, biomass, hydropower, and geothermal energies can also be used to power EWS systems; however, several issues regarding safety, availability, sustainability, and cost of infrastructure need to be considered . Thus, continued research and development are essential for improving the efficiency and reducing the costs associated with water electrolysis and making it a competitive and widely adopted method for hydrogen production and energy storage …”

Development of electrocatalysts is an obstacle in the way of designing durable and low-cost water splitting systems. Thus, particular attention should be paid to researching the catalyst design phase, functionality, and active sites to reduce the activation of potential barriers. Herein, we report a straightforward one-pot hydrothermal method for the fabrication of highly efficient electrocatalysts, leveraging control over sulfur source concentrations. The resulting porous nickel sulfide (Ni x S y ) superstructures exhibit distinctive flower-and petal-like morphologies synthesized using thiourea (TU) and thiosulfate (TS), respectively. Notably, Ni x S y (TS) demonstrates exceptional electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction, achieving a low overpotential of 118 mV in 1.0 M KOH at 10 mA/cm 2 . Conversely, Ni x S y (TU) exhibits high electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction, with a low overpotential of 188 mV. The TS route facilitates the formation of an oxidative Ni 3 S 2 heterostructure, while TU leads to the development of mixed nickel sulfide nanocrystals including nickel ions with higher oxidation states. The resulting electrocatalysts, characterized by an open porous network, rich heterogeneous interfaces, abundant exposed active sites, and electronic interactions, demonstrate outstanding performance in overall water splitting. Integration of optimized NF/TUS5 and NF/ TSS2 (NF, nickel foam) achieves remarkable current densities of 10 mA/cm 2 at 1.546 V and 50 mA/cm 2 at 1.86 V, sustaining for 22 h without significant degradation. This study offers promising insights for the development of cost-effective electrocatalysts based on metal chalcogenides, advancing the prospects for overall water-splitting applications.
