Energy Security Risks and Risks Mitigation: an Overview [PDF]

open access: yes
Central to the goals of competitiveness and sustainable development is the issue of energy. Is there enough? Where will it come from? What will it costs? Is its production and use environmentally sustainable?

Surface Wrinkling of Plasma‐Exposed PDMS is Caused by Water Vapor Sorption: An Optical Environmental Sensor

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Wrinkling of soft materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), underpins a myriad of technologies. Plasma‐oxidation of PDMS induces spontaneous wrinkling, which is canonically attributed to thermal expansion‐contraction of bilayers. Employing experiments and modelling, it is demonstrated that sorption of water vapor is instead responsible for ...

Experimentally Validated Design Principles of D‐Block Transition Metal Single‐Atom Non‐Dissociative Chemisorption Solid‐State Hydrogen Storage Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel descriptor and a bottom‐up design principle are established to enable the rational design of hydrogen storage materials based on d‐block transition metal single‐atom COFs. By modulating H₂ adsorption through d‐orbital tuning, this approach achieves both high storage capacity and fast kinetics, while revealing a volcano‐type relationship between

Exploiting the Functionality of Cerium Oxide‐Modified Carbon Nanohorns Catalysts Toward Enhanced CO2 Reduction Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A cerium oxide‐carbon nanohybrid catalyst is synthesized via two distinct routes and is integrated into H‐type cells and gas diffusion layers (GDLs) to enhance electrochemical performance. Structural variations significantly affect performance, with the solvothermal sample exhibiting higher current densities.

Energy Security in the EU and Beyond [PDF]

open access: yes
Past episodes of energy insecurity have been fleeting and the fears have been assuaged by market forces or technical change. This paper analyses the nature of the EU's current energy security problems, emphasising the increased importance of natural gas ...
