Wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained remarkable interest owing to their latent applications in tandem solar cells (TSCs). Among them, four-terminal (4T) all-perovskite TSCs have received extensive attention as its do without need to consider current matching, surface roughness, and fabrication processes. However, low open-circuit voltage (VOC) and efficiency of WBG PSCs obstacles their applications in 4T all-perovskite TSCs. Hence, this review firstly discussed the optimizing strategy in perovskite materials layer and properties. Specifically, we assessed the effect of composition, additive and interface engineering on the efficiency and VOC of WBG PSCs. Secondly, the demonstrated applications of different passivation layers designing for intensifying the efficiency of WBG PSCs and 4T all-perovskite TSCs is discussed. Finally, we put forward three specific approaches for future research, in our view, which would offer appropriate guidance for the exploitation of highly efficient and stable 4T all-perovskite TSCs.

Present industrial decarbonization technologies require an active CO2-concentration system, often based on lime reaction or amine binding reactions, which is energy intensive and carries a high CO2-footprint. Here instead, an effective process without active CO2 concentration is demonstrated in a new process-termed IC2CNT (Insulation-diffusion facilitated CO2 to Carbon Nanomaterial Technology) decarbonization process. Molten carbonates such as Li2CO3 (mp 723 °C) are highly insoluble to industrial feed gas principal components (N2, O2, and H2O). However, CO2 can readily dissolve and react in molten carbonates. We have recently characterized high CO2 diffusion rates through porous aluminosilicate and calcium-magnesium silicate thermal insulations. Here, the CO2 in ambient feed gas passes through these membranes into molten Li2CO3. The membrane also concurrently insulates the feed gas from the hot molten carbonate chamber, obviating the need to heat the (non-CO2) majority of the feed gas to high temperature. In this insulation facilitated decarbonization process CO2 is split by electrolysis in the molten carbonate producing sequestered, high-purity carbon nanomaterials (such as CNTs) and O2.

Nickel-based catalysts have emerged as crucial components in alkaline oxygen evolution reactions (OER) due to their exceptional catalytic performance and unique structural properties. However, the understanding of their catalytic mechanisms remains incomplete. This review systematically explores the various types of Ni-based catalysts, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), perovskites, and layered double hydroxides (LDHs), while emphasizing their performance metrics. We critically assess the application of advanced in situ characterization techniques, such as in situ Raman spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), in elucidating the structural evolution and active species during the OER process. By addressing the interplay between catalyst structure and performance, this review aims to provide insights that drive future research efforts toward the optimization of Ni-based catalysts for sustainable hydrogen production. Key areas for potential research advancements are also identified.

As part of the effort to achieve net zero, hydrogen will become significantly used in transportation and energy generation by 2050. Hydrogen is fit for long-haul vehicles because of the short refueling time and long range of using hydrogen as onboard storage instead of batteries. Meanwhile, hydrogen can also be used for long-time grid energy storage because of the low material cost and low self-discharge. By using fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) for energy generation, the fuel cells (FCs) in idle FCEVs can be connected to the grid (FCEV2G) and supply electricity to the grid by consuming hydrogen stored in a station. In this way, the hydrogen usage in the transportation and energy storage sectors can be synergically integrated. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is established to simulate and evaluate the economic and environmental potential of the operation of a FCEV2G station. The station's profit and carbon emission reduction potential depend on the traffic and electricity profiles. It is estimated that a net profit of 233,976 USD can be generated and simultaneously 210 tonnes carbon emissions can be reduced, using the historic traffic and electricity data of Alberta. Furthermore, considering the Canadian carbon tax in the optimization increases the net profit and carbon reduction to 246,704 USD and 377 tonnes, respectively. Meanwhile, using electricity data with lower carbon intensity and less fluctuation, e.g., that in Ontario, significant technological improvements are needed to make the FCEV2G station operation economically viable. These results demonstrate the potential of FCEV2G in generating monetary incentives and environmental benefits by integrating the transportation and energy storage sectors.

Although the lead-free halide double perovskites (DPs) have shown great promise for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2, the catalytic performance is still far from satisfactory. In this work, lead-free Cs2AgSbX6 (X = Cl, Br, I) DPs nanocrystals (NCs) are prepared by a modified ligand-assisted reprecipitation (LARP) approach at room temperature. The crystal surface, shape, and optoelectronic properties of the AgSb-based DPs are modified using halogen modulation technique. Moreover, a series of Cs2AgSbX6 perovskites NCs are utilized as efficient catalysts for the photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Among them, the Cs2AgSbBr6 NCs demonstrate the optimal CO2 photoreduction activity with CO and CH4 evolutions of 366 and 49 μmol g−1 respectively under 3h irradiation. Additionally, using the in-situ DRIFTS research, the surface reaction intermediates were precisely identified and dynamically tracked. This study suggests the potential of the lead-free halide DPs NCs as an important platform for the practical solar-to-fuel conversions.

Electrification of roadways using dynamic wireless charging (DWC) technology can provide an effective solution to range anxiety, high battery costs and long charging times of electric vehicles (EVs). With DWC systems installed on roadways, they constitute a charging infrastructure or electrified roads (eRoads) that have many advantages. For instance, the large battery size of heavy-duty EVs can significantly be downsized due to charging-while-driving. However, a high power demand of the DWC system, especially during traffic rush periods, could lead to voltage instability in the grid and undesirable power demand curves. In this paper, a model for the power demand is developed to predict the DWC system's power demand at various levels of EV penetration rate. The DWC power demand profile in the chosen 550 km section of a major highway in Canada is simulated. Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are integrated with the DWC, and the integrated system is optimized to mitigate the peak power demand on the electrical grid. With solar panels of 55,000 kW rated capacity installed along roadsides in the study region, the peak power demand on the electrical grid is reduced from 167.5 to 136.1 MW or by 18.7 % at an EV penetration rate of 30 % under monthly average daily solar radiation in July. It is evidenced that solar PV power has effectively smoothed the peak power demand on the grid. Moreover, the locally generated renewable power could help ease off expensive grid upgrades and expansions for the eRoad. Also, the economic feasibility of the solar PV integrated DWC system is assessed using cost analysis metrics.

Atomically dispersed metal site (ADMS) materials have emerged as a promising class of materials for electrocatalysis reactions in the field of energy conversion. Characterized by individual metal atoms dispersed on suitable supports, ADMS materials provide unique catalytic sites with highly tunable electronic structures. This review summarizes recent advancements in the field, with a focus on the critical roles of support materials, coordination environments, and the mechanisms underlying catalytic activity at the atomic level. First, commonly used density functional theory (DFT) simulations are reviewed, emphasizing their pivotal role in elucidating reaction mechanisms and predicting the behavior of ADMS in electrochemical reactions for hydrogen energy utilization. Then, advancements in ADMS for half-cell electrochemical reactions, including oxygen evolution reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, and oxygen reduction reaction, as well as their applications in fuel cells and water splitting, are summarized. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of ADMS are discussed. This review underscores the transformative potential of ADMS in electrocatalysis, paving the way for innovative and sustainable energy conversion technologies.
