Environmentally friendly nanogenerators for versatile energy harvesting and self-powered sensors
Recently, Prof. Jianhua Hao’s group from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University introduced a hydrogel-based triboelectric nanogenerator (Hydrogel-TENG).
Synergism of Thin Heterojunctions and Spatially Separated Cocatalysts for Solar Water Splitting
Photochemical water splitting is an elegant way to solve energy and environmental-related issues.
Both: saving fuel and enhancing comfort
In the mobility of the future, the recuperation of energy plays an increasingly important role, including in a car’s suspension. Car builder Audi is working on a prototype called “eROT,” in which electromechanical rotary dampers replace the hydraulic dampers used...
CO2 on the Brain and the Brain on CO2
Opinion: Do you think we have a serious greenhouse gas climate change problem caused by anthropogenic CO2 emissions in our atmosphere, which is threatening the future health and well-being of our civilization?
