Lithium metal batteries are promising battery solutions that use metallic lithium as an anode. Instead of containing electrode materials that store lithium ions, like commonly employed lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), they use a single layer of lithium near the anode,...
Solar cells based on perovskites, calcium titanium oxide minerals or compounds with similar structures, are among the most promising emerging energy solutions. Over the past few years, engineers and material scientists have been exploring the potential of solar...
As hydrogen inside fuel cells can generate electrical power, scalable methods to reliably split water into hydrogen and oxygen could have valuable implications for the energy industry. These methods could help to produce large amounts of hydrogen for more sustainable...
All-perovskite tandem solar cells, stacks of p-n junctions formed from perovskites with different energy bandgaps, have the potential of achieving higher efficiencies than conventional single-junction solar cells. So far, however, most proposed all-perovskite tandem...
All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLiBs), lithium batteries with solid electrolytes, are highly promising battery solutions, as they are often more stable than cells based on liquid electrolytes and have a higher capacity. However, the deposition of lithium inside...
Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 had a profound deep impact on the economy, inflating the prices of energy and food, with detrimental consequences for both individuals and companies worldwide. As a result, many governments, particularly in Europe, have...
All-inorganic perovskites have recently proved to be highly promising for the development of photovoltaics (PVs), as they could potentially achieve better thermal stabilities than hybrid perovskite solar cells based on both organic and inorganic materials. Despite...
In recent years, researchers have been trying to create increasingly efficient solar technologies and more sustainable battery designs. Among emerging sustainable energy solutions are solar batteries, systems that can store the energy collected by solar cells or...
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a colorless liquid compound with strong oxidizing properties that can have numerous industrial and medical applications. This compound is generally synthesized through the anthraquinone process, through which the compound anthraquinone...
To meet rising energy demands and power the countless electronic devices on the market, researchers will need to develop new advanced battery technologies. These technologies should ideally have higher energy densities and longer lifetimes, so that they can store more...
