Abstract

In the pursuit of efficient fuel production, the challenges posed by the requirement of an external power source have prompted the need for self-powered energy systems by obtaining energy from the environment. Until now, significant progress on developing self-powered energy systems has been made. However, a more basic and in-depth study on their configuration is required for industrial applications. In this review, we outline the latest advancements of self-powered electrochemical energy systems constructed with solar energy, rechargeable batteries/fuel cells and triboelectric nanogenerators. Critical evaluations of the electrochemistry are highlighted to address the issues in elevating the efficiency of fuel production. In addition, the existing challenges and future prospects are also discussed, aiming to develop highly-efficient self-powered energy systems for green fuel production in the future.

期刊介绍： Materials Horizons is a leading journal in materials science that focuses on publishing exceptionally high-quality and innovative research. The journal prioritizes original research that introduces new concepts or ways of thinking, rather than solely reporting technological advancements. However, groundbreaking articles featuring record-breaking material performance may also be published. To be considered for publication, the work must be of significant interest to our community-spanning readership. Starting from 2021, all articles published in Materials Horizons will be indexed in MEDLINE©. The journal publishes various types of articles, including Communications, Reviews, Opinion pieces, Focus articles, and Comments. It serves as a core journal for researchers from academia, government, and industry across all areas of materials research. Materials Horizons is a Transformative Journal and compliant with Plan S. It has an impact factor of 13.3 and is indexed in MEDLINE.
