Estimating the Impact of Restructuring on Electricity Generation Efficiency: The Case of the Indian Thermal Power Sector [PDF]

open access: yes
We examine the impact of electricity sector restructuring on the operating efficiency of coal-fired power plants in India. Between 1995 and 2009, 85 percent of coal-based generation capacity owned by state governments was unbundled from vertically ...

ZnO‐Coated Silicon Oxide Nano‐Anode: Synergistic Enhancement of Cycling and Thermal Stability of Lithium‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Lithium‐ion battery anodes that maintain good performance and excellent stability under high temperature conditions. Silicon oxide (SiO) has great potential as a high‐capacity anode for lithium‐ion batteries, but its practical use is limited by excessive volume expansion (>200%) and rapid capacity fade, especially at high temperatures.

Tuning S Doping in Porous Carbon for Enhanced Initial Coulombic Efficiency and Rate Performance for Sodium/Potassium‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Low‐temperature carbonization and sulfur doping increase defect density and tailor surface area, enabling the formation of a thinner, more stable SEI, enhancing rate performance and the ICE. The S/C composite delivers an ICE of 83.1% and 480 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1, retaining 232.6 mAh g−1 at 5 A g−1 for SIBs and achieves a considerable capacity of 439.2 ...

On the Sustainability of Lithium‐Ion Battery‐Powered Electric Vehicles: Critical Review, Analysis, and Perspectives

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This review and analysis evaluate the benefits of LIB‐powered EVs on emission reduction of both CO2 and air pollutants. The raw materials of LIBs face low supply risks as the cathodes switch to low‐cobalt scenarios. Proper management of EV charging can mitigate its negative impact and even contribute to the stability and resilience of the power grid ...
