1. The interplay between stack pressure, mechanical expansion and degradation pathways in lithium-ion batteries.
PMID:日期:2026-06-29While electrochemical degradation mechanisms in lithium-ion batteries are well studied, the influence of mechanical factors remains poorly understood. Here we introduce a high-precision stack-pressure control and dilatometry tool to apply a uniform and constant stack pressure on electrodes independent of electrode swelling. By increasing stack pressure fourfold over typical initial values, we double the lifetime of graphite ‖ LiNiMnCoO cells, an industrially relevant battery chemistry, without altering active materials or electrolytes. This suggests that many lithium-ion batteries operate under sub-optimal stack-pressure conditions, leading to curtailed lifetimes. We demonstrate that different degradation mechanisms emerge outside the optimal pressure window: low stack pressure accelerates cathode cracking, whereas high pressure promotes lithium plating. Our findings highlight coupled mechanical-electrochemical degradation mechanisms and identify stack-pressure optimization as a practical solution for increasing cycling stability.

2. Probabilistic projections of global wind and solar power growth based on historical national experience.
PMID:日期:2026-04-14Despite the recent surge of wind and solar power, both technologies need to accelerate to meet climate goals. Yet, there are no robust methods to assess the likelihood of such acceleration. Here we show that renewable energy deployment follows a recurring pattern across countries with prolonged periods of relatively steady growth punctuated by growth pulses. Based on this insight and on observed growth trajectories in early adopting countries, we develop a probabilistic model (PROLONG) for projecting global wind and solar power deployment. In our central projections, both wind and solar power grow similarly to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2 °C-compatible pathways and faster than in current policy scenarios. The COP28 pledge to triple renewables by 2030 is near the 95th percentile of our projections and requires that the growth of wind and solar photovoltaics in major economies accelerate by 1.4-3 times and 2-5 times, respectively. PROLONG can be adopted for data-driven projections of other policy-dependent energy technologies.

3. Heterogeneity in public attitudes and preferences for the deployment of aquifer thermal energy storage.
PMID:日期:2026-03-06Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) can contribute to heating and cooling decarbonization by utilizing the thermal capacity of natural aquifers. Securing acceptance and support for deploying ATES at scale requires acknowledging public perceptions and designing systems compatible with public preferences. Here we characterize attitudinal stances and preferences for the deployment of ATES in public buildings in the UK. Using data from a social survey and a discrete choice experiment, we find substantial heterogeneity in public attitudes and support for ATES installations. Latent class analysis identifies four distinct stances, ranging from cautiously negative to enthusiastically supportive. Estimating mixed multinomial and hybrid choice models, we find strong preferences for quicker deployment of ATES infrastructure, with greater CO emissions-reduction capacity, that can be accessed by private households. Results point to the need for tailored communication strategies and preference-compatible design for achieving socially desirable sustainable energy transitions.

4. Photoswitchable isomers to improve grain boundary resilience and perovskite solar cells stability under light cycling.
PMID:日期:2026-02-25Realizing stable and scalable perovskite solar cells (PSCs) under real-world outdoor conditions remains a challenge for deployment. Here we report a strategy to improve the resilience of the grain boundary, achieving simultaneous improvement in the power conversion efficiency and long-term operational durability under realistic light cycling and ultraviolet exposure of PSCs. By integrating photoswitchable isomers at grain boundaries, we suppress lattice bond rupture and defect accumulation during repeated light cycling through light-triggered dynamic damage release. This approach stabilizes the triple-cation lead-based perovskite lattice against photoinduced distortions and degradation pathways. As a result, the PSCs retain over 95% of their initial performance after 2,000 h of ultraviolet-containing light cycling at 65 °C and 500 thermal cycles between -40 °C and 85 °C, and deliver a power conversion efficiency of 27.2% (certified as 26.9%). Our strategy improves the operational stability and commercial viability of triple-cation perovskite photovoltaics.

5. Production of hydrogen and carbon nanotubes from methane using a multi-pass floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition reactor with process gas recycling.
PMID:日期:2025-12-01Converting natural gas into hydrogen and solid carbon materials using methane pyrolysis presents a promising opportunity to produce sustainable fuels and materials. The production of hydrogen and bulk carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via methane pyrolysis has been demonstrated independently, but concurrent production from the same reactor has remained elusive. Here we present a multi-pass floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition (FCCVD) reactor that converts methane into hydrogen and CNT aerogel. Whereas previous FCCVD CNT production consumed hydrogen, the multi-pass reactor recycles the carrier gas to eliminate the need for a hydrogen input. This results in a net output of 85 vol% hydrogen alongside CNT aerogel and a 446-fold increase in molar process efficiency. Furthermore, the demonstrated use of biogas to produce CNT aerogel enables a potential net sequestration of CO from the atmosphere. The results of this study have been extrapolated to a pilot-scale reactor, using data gathered at a commercial facility, to consider the challenges and opportunities associated with scale-up.

6. Enhanced solar water oxidation and unassisted water splitting using graphite-protected bulk heterojunction organic photoactive layers.
PMID:日期:2025-03-18Polymer donors and non-fullerene acceptors have played an important role as photoactive materials in the development of high-efficiency organic solar cells and have immense potential in devices for direct solar hydrogen generation. However, their use in direct solar water-splitting devices has been limited by their instability in aqueous environment and recombination losses at the interface with catalysts. Here we report anodes containing PM6:D18:L8-BO photoactive layers reaching high solar water oxidation photocurrent density over 25 mA cm at +1.23 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode and days-long operational stability. This was achieved by integrating the organic photoactive layer with a graphite sheet functionalized with earth-abundant NiFeOOH water oxidation catalyst, which provides both water resistance and electrical connection between the catalyst and the photoactive layer without any losses. Using monolithic tandem anodes containing organic PM6:D18:L8-BO and PTQ10:GS-ISO photoactive layers, we achieve a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 5%. These results pave the way towards high-efficiency, stable and unassisted solar hydrogen generation by low-cost organic photoactive materials.

7. Multi-country evidence on societal factors to include in energy transition modelling.
PMID:日期:2025-02-21Integrated assessment and energy system models are challenged to account for societal transformation dynamics, but empirical evidence is lacking on which factors to incorporate, how and to what extent this would improve the relevance of modelled pathways. Here we include six societal factors related to infrastructure dynamics, actors and decision-making, and social and institutional context into an open-source simulation model of the national power system transition. We apply this model in 31 European countries and, using hindcasting (1990-2019), quantify which societal factors improved the modelled pathways. We find that, if well-chosen and in most cases, incorporating societal factors can improve the hindcasting performance by up to 27% for modelled installed capacity of individual technologies. Public acceptance, investment risks and infrastructure lockin contribute the most to model performance improvement. Our study paves the way to a systematic and objective selection of societal factors to be included in energy transition modelling.

8. {"_":"Direct air capture of CO for solar fuel production in flow.","sub":["2"]}
8. {"_":"在流动体系中直接空气捕获二氧化碳用于太阳能燃料生产。","sub":["2"]}PMID:日期:2025-02-13Direct air capture is an emerging technology to decrease atmospheric CO levels, but it is currently costly and the long-term consequences of CO storage are uncertain. An alternative approach is to utilize atmospheric CO on-site to produce value-added renewable fuels, but current CO utilization technologies predominantly require a concentrated CO feed or high temperature. Here we report a gas-phase dual-bed direct air carbon capture and utilization flow reactor that produces syngas (CO + H) through on-site utilization of air-captured CO using light without requiring high temperature or pressure. The reactor consists of a bed of solid silica-amine adsorbent to capture aerobic CO and produce CO-free air; concentrated light is used to release the captured CO and convert it to syngas over a bed of a silica/alumina-titania-cobalt bis(terpyridine) molecular-semiconductor photocatalyst. We use the oxidation of depolymerized poly(ethylene terephthalate) plastics as the counter-reaction. We envision this technology to operate in a diurnal fashion where CO is captured during night-time and converted to syngas under concentrated sunlight during the day.

9. The closing longevity gap between battery electric vehicles and internal combustion vehicles in Great Britain.
PMID:日期:2025-01-24Electric vehicles are increasingly being adopted in Great Britain and other parts of the world, driven by the perception that they offer a cost-effective alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles while reducing emissions. However, a key element that underpins this perception is the longevity of electric vehicles, which remains relatively under researched. Here we show that although early battery electric vehicles (BEVs) exhibited lower reliability than internal combustion engine vehicles, rapid technological advancements have allowed newer BEVs to achieve comparable lifespans, even under more intensive use. Longevity is also found to be impacted by engine size, location and make of vehicle. We provide parameter estimates for life mileage that can be used to update life cycle assessment and total cost of ownership studies of different vehicle powertrains. Our results also shed light on BEV diffusion patterns, fleet replacement strategies and end-of-life treatment planning, including the increasingly important debate around BEV battery recycling and second-life options.

10. The impact of interfacial quality and nanoscale performance disorder on the stability of alloyed perovskite solar cells.
PMID:日期:2024-10-30Microscopy provides a proxy for assessing the operation of perovskite solar cells, yet most works in the literature have focused on bare perovskite thin films, missing charge transport and recombination losses present in full devices. Here we demonstrate a multimodal operando microscopy toolkit to measure and spatially correlate nanoscale charge transport losses, recombination losses and chemical composition. By applying this toolkit to the same scan areas of state-of-the-art, alloyed perovskite cells before and after extended operation, we show that devices with the highest macroscopic performance have the lowest initial performance spatial heterogeneity-a crucial link that is missed in conventional microscopy. We show that engineering stable interfaces is critical to achieving robust devices. Once the interfaces are stabilized, we show that compositional engineering to homogenize charge extraction and to minimize variations in local power conversion efficiency is critical to improve performance and stability. We find that in our device space, perovskites can tolerate spatial disorder in chemistry, but not charge extraction.
