Advanced Energy Materials’ new invited-only review series ‘Excellence in Energy’ is launched. All included papers are free to read for a limited time!
3D Graphene-Oxide Spheres for Supercapacitors
An effective synthesis strategy via a flash-freezing and freeze-dry approach is presented, to synthesis 3D GO structures that exhibit fully accessible hierarchical porous networks for supercapacitor applications.
An Economical Alternative to Noble Metal Catalysts for Renewable Energy Systems
A composite composed of cobalt/cobalt oxide nanoparticles embedded in free-standing reduced graphene oxide (Co/Co3O4-Gr) has been developed for complete water splitting.
Graphene Oxide Liquid Crystals
Guest editors Kyung Eun Lee and Sang Ouk Kim present important recent contributions to the field of Graphene Oxide Liquid Crystals and discuss how this research field will develop in the coming years.
Plasmonic Particles – Now Tailored to Your Needs
Guest editors Yugang Sun and Zhiyong Tang outline current research directions in the field of plasmonic particles.
Energy Security: How to Tackle the Old-new Global Concern
Azzuni and Breyer propose a generic definition of energy security. A definition that covers all aspects of the energy security concept with taking into consideration the notion of sustainability and vulnerability was developed.
Multicolor, Fluorescent Supercapacitor Fibers Light Up the Night
A novel family of colorful fluorescent supercapacitor fibers allows for continuous energy storage in flexible systems used in the dark.
Photovoltaic Devices with Tailored Structures
Supramolecules based on the flat-on P3HT chains and grafted rGO nanosheets in the P3HT:PCBM active layers have shown improved performance as photovoltaic devices.
Climate Policies and Nationally Determined Contributions: Reconciling the Needed Ambition with the Political Economy
What it will take to stabilize global temperature below 2°C above pre-industrial levels? A new review article by Adrien Vogt-Schilb and Stephane Hallegatte discusses two potential solutions.
Decarbonizing the Transportation Sector: Policy Options, Synergies and Institutions to Deliver on a 1.5 Degree Stabilization Pathway
An Advanced Review by Oliver Lah outlines the key elements of a low-carbon stabilization pathway for land transport, focusing on the potential of key policy measures at the local and national level, opportunities for synergies of sustainable development and climate change objectives and governance and institutional issues affecting the implementation of measures.
