Mashup Score: 0High-performing polysulfate dielectrics for electrostatic energy storage under harsh conditions - 1 year(s) ago
Based off a near-perfect click chemistry reaction—sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx) catalysis, flexible sulfate linkages are “clicked” with rigid aromatic ring systems to yield high-performing polysulfate dielectrics. Polysulfates exhibit features such as electrically insulating, mechanically flexible, and thermally stable, all being essential for their utilization in high-temperature…

Mashup Score: 1The cost of permanent carbon dioxide removal - 1 year(s) ago
The deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solutions is integral to meeting global climate goals. One element hindering the development of CDR markets is the absence of an accessible and quantitative approach for evaluating the extent to which a given CDR pathway is fungible with an emission. The climate repair value (CRV) metric presented here addresses this gap and will allow voluntary- and…

Mashup Score: 3Coupling of multiscale imaging analysis and computational modeling for understanding thick cathode degradation mechanisms - 1 year(s) ago
The understanding of lithium-ion batteries requires imaging capabilities able to provide information at a fine resolution over statistically relevant volume. With plasma focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (PFIB-SEM), the whole electrode can be resolved in 3D with a resolution of few nm. Here, this technology is applied to a thick positive electrode to investigate the degradation…

Mashup Score: 8In situ time-resolved spectroelectrochemistry reveals limitations of biohybrid photoelectrode performance - 1 year(s) ago
In this work, we combined electrochemistry and spectroscopy to analyze electron flow through a protein-based photoelectrode. Such biophotoelectrodes form a platform for biosolar cells, where the processes of solar energy capture and conversion take place within natural photosynthetic proteins. We show that both non-native electron transfer to/from the photoenzyme and a variety of short-circuit…

Mashup Score: 0In operando investigations of oscillatory water and carbonate effects in MEA-based CO2 electrolysis devices - 1 year(s) ago
Membrane electrode assembly CO2 electrolyzers allow commercially relevant current densities. However, there is limited understanding on why or how CO2 electrolysis shifts toward hydrogen production. Herein, operando X-ray scattering reveals a direct observation of salt precipitation and electrolyte flooding in the copper gas diffusion electrode (GDE). The observed oscillations in selectivity and…

Mashup Score: 1Stepwise photoassisted decomposition of carbohydrates to H2 - 1 year(s) ago
Biomass photoreforming is an advanced way of providing sustainable H2, whereas a maximized H2 yield relies on high extent of C–C bond breaking. Here, relying on a “C–C bond first” strategy that C–C bonds of carbohydrates are broken first over Ta-CeO2, carbohydrates are converted to C1 liquid hydrogen carriers (LHCs, consisting of HCOOH and HCHO), which release H2 in high yield when degrading….

Mashup Score: 1
Experimental data reveal a strong correlation between the non-radiative energy loss and charge-transfer (CT) state energetic disorder of organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. Defining total energy loss in terms of the peak of the CT-state distribution showcases the effect of energetic disorder on OPV performance across a broad range of devices and offers valuable insight into designing the ideal…

Mashup Score: 1Passive freezing desalination driven by radiative cooling - 1 year(s) ago
With water scarcity increasing along with carbon emissions, there is an urgent need for low-energy-input methods of desalinating salt water. This article demonstrates a passive approach to a thermodynamically attractive phase change that can enable desalination: freezing. Specifically, the cold of outer space is harnessed via the radiative cooling mechanism to enable high-performance passive…
