All-perovskite tandem solar cells with 24.8% efficiency
A team of researchers at Nanjing University in China and the University of Toronto in Canada have recently fabricated all-perovskite tandem solar cells (PSCs), a type of solar cell with a key perovskite structured component. These new solar cells, presented in a paper...
Addressing the obstacles preventing the commercialization of lithium-rich layered sulfides
Anionic redox chemistry is a fairly new research area that could pave the way for the development of more efficient lithium ion-battery cathode materials such as Li-rich layered oxides. So far, however, anionic redox chemistry approaches have been found to have...
Study projects scenarios for water use reduction in thermal power plants using satellite imagery
Water and energy are closely linked, as current electricity generation methods often require water, and extracting water typically consumes energy. This connection between water and energy, also known as the "water-energy nexus," has been the focus of several...
Remote sensing techniques could improve electrification planning in Zambia
Researchers at the Reiner Lemoine Institut in Berlin have effectively used remote sensing techniques to detect a sample of Zambian villages that are without electricity. Their study, recently published on Springer's Proceedings in Energy book series, highlights the...
