Battery-Level Energy Density with Carbon Nanotube/Graphene Sponges
Assembling two types of carbon nanostructures with non-covalent interactions gives an electrode material with enhanced energy density.
Microporous Aluminophosphate in Solar-Energy Storage and Heat Reallocation
Andraž Krajnc, Nataša Zabukovec Logar, Gregor Mali, and co-workers present a new type of microporous aluminophosphate for high-density storage of solar energy or waste heat in Advanced Energy Materials.
Magnetothermal Heterogeneous Catalytic Reduction of CO2
A chemistry and engineering nano-solution that aims to safeguard Earth against climate change can be imagined metaphorically as a “Life Raft” that will sustain renewable energy systems and living systems “thriving and buoyant” over the next thousand years when fully deployed around the globe.
Virtual Battery to Make the Energy Turnaround
With the virtual battery Trimet has made the energy-intensive electrolysis process for the aluminum production more flexible enabling the use of renewable energy.
