The Influence of Annealing on the Sb Layer in the Synthesis of [001]‐Oriented Sb2Se3 Film for Photoelectrochemical Hydrogen Gas Generation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
[001]‐oriented Sb2Se3 film with improved crystallinity and adjusted composition is achieved via a new thermal treatment approach consisting of preliminary annealing of the Sb layer before its selenization. The findings of this work demonstrate enhanced charge carriers' transportation, a stable performance, and an improvement of H2 generation from ...

Into the mire: A closer look at fossil fuel subsidies [PDF]

The School of Public Policy Publications, 2016
Threatened by climate change, governments the world over are attempting to nudge markets in the direction of less carbon-intensive energy. Perversely, many of these governments continue to subsidize fossil fuels, distorting markets and raising emissions.

Fine‐Tunning BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.1Y0.1O3−δ‐Based Air Electrodes for Reversible Protonic Ceramic Cells via Co‐Engineering A‐site Deficiency and Nickel Content

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A synergistic strategy combining A‐site deficiency and B‐site nickel doping yielded a BCFZYN‐095‐01 nanocomposite air electrode for reversible protonic ceramic cells with superior ORR/OER activities. B‐site deficiency in the perovskite lattice enhances proton conduction, and nickel doping within the bulk facilitates oxygen transport.

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

Advanced 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

Physicochemical Composition Variability and Hydraulic Conditions in a Geothermal Borehole—The Latest Study in Podhale Basin, Poland

Energies, 2020
In deep geothermal boreholes, an effect of temperature (so-called thermal lift) is observed, which results in the volumetric expansion of the fluid extracted. This process results in increased wellhead pressure values being recorded; in the absence of an
