Derya Baran et al. Published in Energy & Environmental Science
Why do tin perovskites struggle with stability? This paper shows that tin vacancies and free carriers work together to drive ion migration, reshaping our understanding of transport in Pb-free perovskites.
Josep Albero, Hermenegildo Garc铆a et al. Published in EES Catalysis
Turning waste into value is at the heart of sustainable chemistry. This research shows how CO鈧� and nitrate 鈥� two major pollutants 鈥� can be directly converted into urea, an essential fertiliser and industrial feedstock.
Ungyu Paik, Taeseup Song et al. Published in EES Batteries
All-solid-state batteries are the future, but pushing them to high voltages creates serious stress at the material interfaces, cutting performance and lifespan.
Ben L Feringa et al. Published in Sustainable Energy & Fuels
Hydrogen peroxide (H鈧侽鈧�) is crucial for clean chemical processes and could even act as a safe energy carrier, but current industrial methods are inefficient and wasteful.
Henry J Snaith et al. Published in EES Solar
Why aren鈥檛 wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells reaching their full potential? This work shows that just blending two fullerene derivatives (PCBM + ICBA) as a thin interlayer dramatically cuts recombination losses at the electron interface.
Federico Bella et al. Published in Energy Advances
Solar cells using water-based (aqueous) electrolytes offer a safer, more sustainable option, but they need better materials. This study is the first to test zinc oxide (ZnO) in different shapes (nanoparticles, multipods, 鈥渄esert-roses鈥�) as the photoanode in aqueous solar cells.
