Building A Perovskite Solar Cell That Can Stand The Heat
August 31, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne researchers have found a way to significantly improve the operational stability of perovskite solar cells at high temperatures, which is necessary for their use in terawatt power grids. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained attention for their high power-conversion efficiencies and low-cost solution processing. However, ensuring their stability at […]

Are You Ready For Some Energy Rationing?
August 30, 2023 | Leave a Comment
A University of Leeds research team analyzed several scenarios to identify a potential solution to identify the fairest and most equitable way that governments can curtail energy use, a process known as energy demand reduction. The big challenge is said to be that consumers in the richer, developed nations will have to accept restrictions on […]

Using Math To Blend Hydrogen Into Natural Gas Pipelines
August 29, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers are reporting that mathematical modeling can show how to safely blend hydrogen with natural gas for transport in existing pipeline systems. A secure and reliable transition to hydrogen is one of the proposed solutions for the shift to a net-zero-carbon economy. Anatoly Zlotnik, a co-author of a new paper on […]

Gold Alloyed With Nickel Studied For Hydrogen Production
August 23, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Chiba University researchers show the hydrogen evolution reaction activity of a GoldNickel/Gold electrocatalyst increases due to surface defects formed via Nickel dealloying. Gold (Au)-based electrocatalysts used for hydrogen production via water electrolysis exhibit high chemical stability but low hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. Alloying them with nickel (Ni) can improve their HER activity. Now, a […]
