The burgeoning development and sustained production of advances in the booming field of solar-to-energy conversion have inspired a Special Issue specifically dedicated to “Artificial Photosynthesis: Mimicking Nature for Renewable Energy Production” – guest editors Wee-Jun Ong, Zhiqun Lin and Kazunari Domen.
Power to Ammonia
ISPT and its partners in the Power to Ammonia project have recently concluded a feasibility study into the storage of renewable energy in ammonia.
Magnetothermal Heterogeneous Catalytic Reduction of CO2
A chemistry and engineering nano-solution that aims to safeguard Earth against climate change can be imagined metaphorically as a “Life Raft” that will sustain renewable energy systems and living systems “thriving and buoyant” over the next thousand years when fully deployed around the globe.
Wind, solar power paired with storage could be cost-effective way to power grid
Renewable energy could fully power a large electric grid 99.9 percent of the time by 2030 at costs comparable to today’s electricity expenses.
Farming under solar panels: The promise of agrivoltaics in the fight for net-zero
Combining agriculture with solar energy, agrivoltaics offers a promising solution to reduce carbon emissions while boosting food production.
A working quantum battery may be just around the corner
Scientists create designs for quantum batteries, which harness the potential of quantum mechanics to enhance energy storage.
The rate of human-driven global warming is at a record high
Global warming caused by human action has continued to increase, even though climate action has slowed the rise in greenhouse gas emissions.
Pulling clean hydrogen fuel from seawater
A new electrolysis device could transform the way we produce hydrogen fuel from seawater, addressing challenges that hindered this process.
Could a lead-free solar cell be in our future?
Study uncovers stability hurdles in a promising lead-free solar cell material, signaling potential for a cleaner energy future.
Boosting lateral solar cells
A new design approach and specialized organic material helps improve the efficiency of lateral solar cells, turning energy generation on its side.
