Is the electrification of the global fleet of automobiles and trucks truly a panacea for curbing greenhouse gas emissions, stabilizing global warming and ameliorating climate change or, rather, is it merely a way of shifting the problem from conventional internal combustion to electric vehicles?
A highly efficient method to determine the S-matrix of systems modeled by tight-binding Hamiltonians with general leads.
Jordi Matorell and co-workers achieve a longer lifetime of polymer solar cells by addressing the issue and mechanism of UV-induced “burn-in”, a phenomenon linked to rapid degradation of electron transport.
Lab tests show that a novel material based on n organic porphyrin molecule allows batteries to be charged within one single minute.
Highly efficient, red-emissive carbon quantum dots (R-CQDs) with a quantum yield of 53% are prepared and a CQD-phosphors-based warm white-light-emitting diode (WLED) is realized for the first time.
Focusing on the photocatalytic hydrogen production from water, as an energy carrier, several factors need to be considered.
Wei Liu and Kaustav Banerjee offer their thoughts on and solutions for the performance problems suffered by HER catalysts.
To address climate change, we need to reduce net anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to zero as soon as possible; that is, hopefully by 2050 or so.
