Integrated solar-driven high-temperature electrolysis operating with concentrated irradiation

Jan Van Herle, Sophia Haussener, Stefan Diethelm, Meng Lin, Clemens Gregor Suter

High-temperature electrolysis for reducing H2O (and CO2) to H2 (and CO) converts concentrated solar energy into fuels and chemical feedstock. We invented an integrated reactor concept comprising a solar cavity receiver for reactant heating, a solid oxide e ...

Engineering of PEM-PEC photocathodes for solar-driven hydrogen production

Marina Caroline Michèle Caretti

Earth has always been in perpetual evolution, but today we must face its rapid change due to human activity. The intensification of industrial activities and transportation to support our modern lifestyles are the main causes of climate change and the adve ...

Decomposition Strategy for Districts as Renewable Energy Hubs

François Maréchal, Luise Middelhauve, Cédric Terrier

In light of the energy transition, it becomes a widespread solution to decentralize and to decarbonize energy systems. However, limited transformer capacities are a hurdle for large-scale integration of solar energy in the electricity grid. The aim of this ...

Understanding Wavelength-Dependent Synergies between Morphology and Photonic Design in TiO2-Based Solar Powered Redox Cells

Kiseok Oh, Giulia Tagliabue, Jiaming Ma

Solar powered redox cells (SPRCs) are promising for large-scale and long-term storage of solar-energy, particularly when coupled with redox flow batteries (RFBs). While efforts have primarily focused on heterostructure engineering, the potential of synergi ...

Examining African contributions to global health: Reflections on knowledge circulation and innovation

Jérôme Chenal, Vitor Pessoa Colombo, Jürg Utzinger, Akuto Akpedze Konou, Julia Tischler

This article unites different disciplinary debates on ‘southern innovation’, ‘theory from the South’, and ‘decolonisation of knowledge’ in order to discuss existing understandings around the role of Africa in the production of health-related knowledge, pub ...

Semiconducting two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides via solution-processable routes

Rebekah Anne Wells

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) possess remarkable optoelectronic properties which are unique and tunable based on composition and thickness. These materials are posed to revolutionize ultrathin devices across many fields inclu ...

Solar Water Splitting Using Earth-Abundant Electrocatalysts Driven by High-Efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Dan Ren, Hong Zhang

Hydrogen is considered as the "holy grail" for the energy community. One of the most promising strategies to produce hydrogen is to split water using renewable energy such as solar radiation. The abundance of water and solar energy enables the potential of ...

Performance of perovskite solar cells under simulated temperature-illumination real-world operating conditions

Michael Graetzel, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Konrad Domanski, Brian Irving Carlsen, Essa Awadh R Alharbi, Anand Agarwalla

Since reaching 20% efficiency, research in perovskite photovoltaics has shifted from a race for efficiency to a race for stability. For efficiency, the standard test conditions set the rules for the race. However, the term 'stability' is used very broadly ...
