Recent Development in Solar‐to‐Hydrogen Conversion Systems
WIREs Energy and Environment, Volume 15, Issue 3, September 2026.This review compares three solar‐driven hydrogen production methods, photocatalysis (PC), photoelectrochemical cells (PEC), and photovoltaic–electrochemical (PV–EC) systems by examining their mechanisms, materials, stability, and efficiency. Nanocrystal‐based PC catalysts achieved the highest quantum efficiency (94%), while PV–EC and Si nanowire PEC ...

Crystal Plane Engineering of Zn Nanosheet Arrays Toward Robust Hybrid Capacitive Energy Storage
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.This work demonstrates a dual‐phase ZnCl2 concentration strategy dynamically switching Zn2+ solvation from [Zn(H2O)6]2+ to [ZnCl(H2O)5]+. The solvation shift steers the epitaxial growth of Zn nanosheet arrays, favoring the (002) crystal plane over (101).
