Advancing Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis for Conversion of Biomass into Chemicals
Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis (CFP) is an emerging technology that holds promise for converting renewable feedstocks, like biomass, into fuels and chemicals.
Metallic Molybdenum Disulfide for Stable, High-Rate Battery Performance
A new porous nanotube structure is created from pure metallic molybdenum disulfide, which is useful for fundamental electrochemical studies as well as showing good performance as a lithium-ion battery anode.
Hybrid Drive for Trains
Successful simulation of hybrid train operation shows reduced emissions, noise levels and operating costs on the existing infrastructure.
Overcoming Early Career Barriers to Interdisciplinary Climate Change Research
None are likely better suited to interdisciplinary research than those early in their scientific careers, and the next generation of scientists whom they are today teaching, advising, and mentoring.

Recent developments and perspectives on bimetallic nanomaterials highlighted in Particle & Particle Systems Characterization.
Interview: Advances in Hydrogen Storage Technologies
Interview with Dr. Karsten Müller and Timo Rüde of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany about their recent work on liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) systems and the recent Special Issue of Energy Technology on Hydogen Storage Materials, Carriers, and Processes.
Mass-Production of Flexible Solar Cells: Challenges in Durability and Environmental Impact
If scientists’ dreams came true, everyday items such as mobile devices, clothing and vehicles would be equipped with flexible solar cells.
Analyzing Potential Clean Energy Technology–Fuel Cells–with Microscopic Techniques
The principle of a ceramic fuel cell and the most important microscopic techniques for analyzing these devices are presented.
Bidding Strategies in Austrian and German Balancing Power Auctions
In the current Austrian and German market design, suppliers submit a three-dimensional bid that consists of a power offer (MW), a power bid (Euro/MW) and an energy bid (Euro/MWh). The scoring rule, which determines the winners of the auction, is based on the power bid exclusively, and pay-as-bid pricing is applied, i.e., an awarded bidder receives the bid figure.
