Kesterite Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 is an emerging and promising green photovoltaic material, as it is abundant on Earth, does not harm the environment, and has a stable structure, a great tunability and advantageous optoelectronic properties. Despite their qualities, solar...
Tandem solar cells (TSCs), stacks of p-n junctions based on semiconductors with different bandgaps, are a highly promising energy solution that could help to reduce carbon emissions. Perovskites, earth-abundant materials with a tunable bandgap, high charge-carrier...
AAC spoke to Gore to learn how membrane electrode assemblies in fuel cells can help decarbonize applications from drones to warehouses.
Reducing energy demand worldwide can play a critical role in meeting international climate targets and effectively tackling climate change. Ultimately, such efforts could relieve some of the pressure on governments to decarbonize the energy supply, as emissions would...
In recent years, engineers have been trying to devise new technologies to produce and store energy more sustainably, with the hope of overcoming the global reliance on fossil fuels and to fight climate change. A solution that has attracted much attention is the...
In years to come, sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) could potentially be a great alternative to current energy storage systems. Despite their advantages, including the abundance of sodium and a potentially long cycle life, these sodium-based batteries are often less stable...
Lightweight and flexible perovskites are highly promising materials for the fabrication of photovoltaics. So far, however, their highest reported efficiencies have been around 20%, which is considerably lower than those of rigid perovskites (25.7%).
Lithium Ion-based batteries are among the most effective and widely used battery technologies. However, the batteries' electrolytes mainly contain organic carbonated solvents, which are considered highly flammable with a narrow temperature window. To ensure that they...
