Novel thermodynamic efficiency indices for choosing an optimal location for large-scale photovoltaic power generation

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2020
Sustainable energy is a current key priority across the globe. Hence, renewable energy sources have been widely accepted as potential substitutes for fossil fuels in the existing energy infrastructures. A recent report showed that photovoltaic power generation constituted around 100 GW out of 2,378 GW of the global renewable power capacity installed in

Atomistic Mechanisms Triggered by Joule Heating Effects in Metallic Cu‐Bi Nanowires for Spintronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bi doped metallic Cu nanowires are promising for spintronics thanks to the stabilization of a giant spin Hall effect. However, heat resulting from current injection forces Bi to leave solution, forcing segregation into monoatomic decorations which evolve into coherent crystalline aggregates.

Asymmetry of the Ferroelectric Phase Transition in BaTiO3

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Phase transitions are typically assumed to behave identically in forward and reverse. This work shows that in the ferroelectric material barium titanate this is not true: heating drives an abrupt, first‐order jump, while cooling gives a smooth, continuous change.

Toward Energy Efficient Electrochemical Valorization of Waste Nitrate and Sulfide

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces an integrated electrochemical strategy couples nitrate reduction with sulfide oxidation for energy‐efficient wastewater valorization. A Cu‐Co dual‑site catalyst, engineered for close proximity, promotes *NO2 relay and subsequently NH3 formation, enabling the system to operate at substantially reduced cell voltages and produce high ...

Engineering Bilayer Tandem Catalysts on Si‐Based Photocathodes for High‐performance CO2 Reduction to Produce Methane

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A Cu/Ag‐Cu bilayer tandem catalyst is designed for a pyramid‐structured p‐Si photocathode, creating multiple and functionally distinct interfaces tailored to specific reaction steps and intermediate stabilization. This Cu/Ag‐Cu‐decorated p‐Si photocathode exhibits both high photocurrent and good selectivity for photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction to CH4.

Polarize the Solvent to Regulate the Intermediate Phase and Dynamic Crystallization of Perovskite Films

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A solvent engineering strategy using polar polymers is introduced to regulate perovskite crystallization dynamics in solar cells. Strongly polarized fluorinated groups stabilize the intermediate phase and control solvent exfoliation, leading to high‐quality films with suppressed defects.
