The use of photovoltaics (PVs) to generate household electricity is on the rise, as a growing number of individuals worldwide are now choosing to power their home using solar panels. To store the excess energy generated by solar panels on sunny days and re-use it at...
In recent years, researchers have been trying to develop increasingly advanced battery technologies that can store more energy, recharge faster, discharge slower, and have longer lifespans. To achieve this, many have been experimenting with new cathode materials, as...
The interface between electrodes and electrolytes largely contributes to the efficiency with which batteries convert energy. In recent years, many efforts aimed at developing better performing batteries have focused on tailoring the electrode/electrolyte interface to...
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) have become the most widely used rechargeable batteries worldwide. Energy researchers and material scientists have been trying to identify alternative materials that could serve as LIB components, potentially leading to improvements in...
Fuel cells are energy-conversion solutions that generate electricity via electrochemical reactions without combustion, thus not contributing to the pollution of air on Earth. These cells could power various technologies, ranging from electric vehicles to portable...
Solar cells based on perovskites, a versatile class of materials with promising optoelectronic properties, are gradually making their way toward commercialization. While these solar cells can have notable advantages over existing solar cell designs, including higher...
Recent efforts aimed at developing more advanced battery technologies have in great part focused on designing novel cathode materials. This is because existing cathodes do not perform well at high voltages and can contribute to the rapid loss of battery capacity.
Lithium-metal batteries could exhibit significantly higher energy densities than lithium-ion batteries, which are the primary battery technology on the market today. Yet lithium-metal cells also typically have significant limitations, the most notable of which is a...
To reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate change on Earth, governments and companies worldwide have been investing in the electrification of both public transport and private vehicles. China is among the countries that started exploring the electrification of...
Wireless internet supports the daily activities of countless people worldwide, ranging from their professional communications to internet browsing and the streaming of movies or TV series. This spiking demand for wireless internet access goes hand in hand with greater...
