Decarbonization scenario ensembles are increasingly used for policy design, company strategy, and stakeholder engagement. However, the limitations of these scenarios may not be adequately understood. We summarize the uses and challenges with applying decarbonization scenarios to inform policy and planning decisions by using a novel database of U.S. net-zero CO2 emissions scenarios. Models agree that power sector emissions reductions, wind and solar deployment, end-use electrification, energy efficiency, and carbon removal help to reach economy-wide net-zero emissions; however, there is considerable variation in these changes, which may not be reflected in current third-party guidance or international pledges. We show how there is more regional variation in decarbonization pathways than national modeling indicates. The analysis also compares U.S. national scenarios with corresponding U.S. results from global models and finds that models can vary widely in their sectoral emissions reductions, use of carbon removal, and renewables deployment.

Alloy-type anodes offer high capacities but slow reaction rates, limiting the fast-charging performance of batteries. Recently, in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Duan et al. introduced heteroatom doping to catalyze the lithiation/delithiation process. This discovery holds promise for the development of next-generation high-power, high-energy-density batteries.

Large-scale recycling and regeneration of lithium-ion cathode materials is hindered by the complex mixture of chemistries often present in the waste stream. We outline an efficient process for the separation and regeneration of phases within a blended cathode. We demonstrate the efficacy of this approach using cathode material from a Nissan Leaf end-of-life (40,000 miles) cell. Exploiting the different stabilities of transition metals in acidic media, we demonstrate that ascorbic acid selectively leaches low-value spinel electrode material (LiMn2O4) from mixed cathode electrode (LiMn2O4/layered Ni-rich oxide) in minutes, allowing both phases to be effectively recovered separately. This process facilitates upcycling of the Li/Mn content from the resultant leachate solution into higher-value LiNixMnyCozO2 (NMC) phases, whereas the remaining nickel-rich layered oxide can then be directly regenerated. The method has been extended to other mixtures, with preliminary results illustrating the successful selective leaching of a sodium-ion cathode from a mixture with NMC811.

Integrating metal-halide perovskites with the industrially textured Czochralski silicon for perovskite/silicon tandem cells shows great promise for low-cost manufacturing and ideal light trapping. However, the conformal growth of high-quality perovskite film on fully textured silicon remains challenging due to the lack of effective regulation of structural evolution and residual strains. Here, we report a strain regulation strategy by forming a 3D/3D perovskite heterojunction at the buried interface through a vacuum-deposition method applicable to pyramidal texture. By tailoring the composition of buried buffer 3D perovskite, a controllable compressive strain is applied to the upper photoactive 3D perovskite, alleviating its residual tensile stress. We demonstrate that this strained heterostructure promotes the preferred crystal growth, reduces interfacial defect-induced recombination, and facilitates charge extraction. As a result, the fully textured perovskite/silicon tandem cell achieves a certified steady-state efficiency of 31.5% and retains over 95% of its initial efficiency after 800 h of continuous operation.

The performance of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) has rapidly increased. Yet, achieving long-term stability in the nano-morphology and thereby sustaining device performance remains challenging. Herein, we show that incorporating in-situ-forming cross-linked thermoset (CLT) matrices into the bulk heterojunction blends is a simple, general, and efficient strategy for high-performing and resilient OPVs. Our simulations and experimental data prove that these high-modulus CLT matrices featuring hydrogen-bonding interactions can freeze the nano-morphology, resulting in long-term thermal and photostable OPV devices. We demonstrate that this approach works efficiently with eight different blends and show that OPV devices can withstand 85°C for 1,000 h without losing performance. Blends with CLT matrices double the energy generated from OPV devices, showing an energy density output of 4,054 mW⋅h cm−2 over an 11-week operating period under outdoor conditions. This methodology opens avenues for both developing new thermoset networks for OPV and their use in other optoelectronic applications.

The incorporation of lithium metal anodes in solid-state batteries (SSBs) is impeded due to the chemical reduction of sulfide solid electrolytes (SEs) in contact with lithium metal. Growth mode, composition, and microstructure of a few model-type SE interphases (SEIs) are slowly unveiled. The objective of this study is to better understand the transport properties of typical multiphase SEIs by direct reaction of the SE with lithium metal powder. Hence, the composition and conduction properties (σion and σel) of synthesized bulk-scale SEI-type material (of Li6PS5Cl) are analyzed. The kinetic predictions using a Wagner-type diffusion model align well with recent results of electrochemical studies on cell-level multiphase SEIs. Accordingly, these findings enhance the ability to model transport parameters with greater accuracy and contribute to a deeper understanding of SEI growth and kinetics in SSBs. The need to stabilize the Li|SE interface by controlling the partial conductivities of the resulting SEI is emphasized.
由于硫化物固体电解质（SE）在与锂金属接触时会发生化学还原，因此阻碍了锂金属阳极在固态电池（SSB）中的应用。一些模型型硫化物固态电解质（SEIs）的生长模式、组成和微观结构正在慢慢揭开面纱。本研究的目的是通过 SE 与锂金属粉末的直接反应，更好地了解典型多相 SEIs 的传输特性。因此，本研究分析了合成的批量 SEI 型材料（Li6PS5Cl）的组成和传导特性（σion 和 σel）。使用瓦格纳型扩散模型进行的动力学预测与细胞级多相 SEI 的最新电化学研究结果非常吻合。因此，这些发现提高了建立更精确的传输参数模型的能力，有助于加深对 SSB 中 SEI 生长和动力学的理解。通过控制所产生的 SEI 的部分电导率来稳定 Li|SE 界面的必要性得到了强调。

Pyroelectricity plays a crucial role in energy harvesting and sensing. High pyroelectric coefficients are the focus of optimizing pyroelectrics. Elevated pyroelectric coefficients not only contribute to the efficiency of energy conversion and signal resolution to be enhanced but also facilitate device miniaturization and cost reduction. However, the pyroelectric coefficients are typically below 1,000 μC/m²K. Here, we achieve a 14-fold enhancement in the pyroelectric coefficient of 8,194 μC/m²K at room temperature for lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate (PMNT) single crystals. This enhancement can be attributed to a synergistic strategy of doping and interface engineering, which enables the coupling of both intrinsic and interface pyroelectricity. Moreover, doping and interface engineering, respectively, contribute to intrinsic pyroelectricity by altering domain structure and polarization and through interface pyroelectricity by introducing polar symmetry. This synergistic strategy provides a framework to design high-performance pyroelectrics for applications in thermal batteries, infrared sensors, and medical imaging devices.

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts suffer from degradation under harsh oxygen evolution conditions, especially at large current densities, which is a longstanding challenge when developing OER catalysts for industrial applications. Here, we report ultra-stable multicomponent alloys with outstanding OER performance, created by forming two-layered nanostructures in noble metal-free multicomponent alloys, which boost activity and stability simultaneously through a counterintuitive parallel-mechanism strategy. The outer multicomponent amorphous oxide layer endows compelling OER activity, while the underneath layer affords dynamic replenishment capability for sustainable performance (working stably at least 1,600 h at 500 mA cm−2) in alkaline electrolytes. More appealing is that the catalyst can be easily revitalized, significantly extending its service durability and reducing its cost. This finding can be applied to develop other cost-efficient catalysts with considerable potential for industrial applications, offering a design paradigm to break the activity-stability trade-off of electrocatalysts.

Fully textured perovskite silicon tandem solar cells are promising for future low-cost photovoltaic deployment. However, the fill factor and open-circuit voltage of these devices are currently limited by the high density of defects at grain boundaries and at interfaces with charge transport layers. To address this, we devise a strategy to simultaneously enhance perovskite crystallization and passivate the perovskite/C60 interface. By incorporating urea (CO(NH2)2) as an additive in the solution step of the hybrid evaporation/spin-coating perovskite deposition method, the crystallization kinetics are accelerated, leading to the formation of the desired photoactive phase at room temperature. With that, perovskite films with large grain sizes (>1 μm) and improved optoelectronic quality are formed at low annealing temperatures (100°C). Concurrently, remnant urea molecules are expelled at the perovskite surface, which locally displaces the C60 layer, thus reducing interfacial non-radiative recombination losses. With this strategy, the resulting tandem solar cells achieve 30.0% power conversion efficiency.

However, the fill factor and open-circuit voltage of these devices are currently limited by the high density of defects at grain boundaries and at interfaces with charge transport layers. To address this, we devise a strategy to simultaneously enhance perovskite crystallization and passivate the perovskite/C<sub>60</sub> interface. By incorporating urea (CO(NH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>) as an additive in the solution step of the hybrid evaporation/spin-coating perovskite deposition method, the crystallization kinetics are accelerated, leading to the formation of the desired photoactive phase at room temperature. With that, perovskite films with large grain sizes (>1 μm) and improved optoelectronic quality are formed at low annealing temperatures (100°C). Concurrently, remnant urea molecules are expelled at the perovskite surface, which locally displaces the C<sub>60</sub> layer, thus reducing interfacial non-radiative recombination losses. With this strategy, the resulting tandem solar cells achieve 30.0% power conversion efficiency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry","volume":"8 10","pages":"Pages 2811-2833"},"PeriodicalIF":38.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141726435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
