Na2S Presodiation Enables Long Cycling Anode‐Free Sodium Batteries via Rapid Spontaneous Reactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Na2S with high sodium content is utilized as a sodium replenishment material for AFSBs. The spontaneous reaction between polysulfides and Na3−xV2(PO4)3, complete conversion from Na2S to sulfur is achieved under low voltage and catalyst‐free conditions. With the assistance of the additionally supplied sodium ions, the Na2S@NVP||Zn AFSBs retain 70.8% of ...

Catalytic carbon–carbon bond cleavage in lignin via manganese–zirconium-mediated autoxidation

Nature Communications
Efforts to produce aromatic monomers through catalytic lignin depolymerization have historically focused on aryl–ether bond cleavage. A large fraction of aromatic monomers in lignin, however, are linked by various carbon–carbon (C–C) bonds that are more ...

Abandoning the concept of renewable energy

Energy Policy, 2019
Renewable energy is a widely used term that describes certain types of energy production. In politics, business and academia, renewable energy is often framed as the key solution to the global climate challenge. We, however, argue that the concept of renewable energy is problematic and should be abandoned in favor of more unambiguous conceptualization ...
