Solar Energy Catalysis

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, 2022
AbstractWhen it comes to using solar energy to promote catalytic reactions, photocatalysis technology is the first choice. However, sunlight can not only be directly converted into chemical energy through a photocatalytic process, it can also be converted through different energy‐transfer pathways.

Climate change impacts on planned supply–demand match in global wind and solar energy systems

open access: yesNature Energy, 2023
Climate change modulates both energy demand and wind and solar energy supply but a globally synthetic analysis of supply–demand match (SDM) is lacking. Here, we use 12 state-of-the-art climate models to assess climate change impacts on SDM, quantified by
