This review examines evidence from 303 studies (2015–2026) retrieved from eight databases through a narrative literature review to systematically assess Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) batteries as a high-energy-density alternative. Li-S batteries offer transformative benefits, including a theoretical specific energy of 2600 Wh/kg, low-cost S cathodes, and reduced supply chain dependence, driven by the triadic evolution among energy storage, automation, and electric mobility. Challenges to be addressed include: Polysulfide shuttle effect, low conductivity, lithium dendrite growth, and ∼80% volumetric expansion, which affect cycle life and coulombic efficiency. System-level solutions are needed for issues specific to AEs, such as pulsed-load degradation and the thermal management paradox. Performance has been improved by the recent development of the cathode architecture, the anode protection, the electrolyte optimization, as well as the solid-state Li-S batteries (SSLSBs). Limitations are mitigated with the integration strategies: AI-based smart (Battery Management System) BMS, thermal loop co-optimization, and a hybrid Li-S/supercapacitor system. Compared with Li-ion, Li-air, and other solid-state battery technologies, Li-S batteries could also offer higher energy density, higher pulse power, greater safety, and lower pack-level cost. The proposed commercial roadmap for the technology is aimed at phased trials (2026–2028), phased deployment of SSLSB (2028–2030), and commercial-scale packs with V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) integration (2030+). Future research efforts should be directed towards automotive test profiles for AEV workloads, scale up solid-state Li-S architectures, and design smart BMS using deep learning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100957,"journal":{"name":"Next Energy","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 101071"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149140509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rapid advancement of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has demonstrated their promising prospect for the next generation high-efficiency photovoltaic technologies. The electron and hole transport layers, organic and inorganic are comparatively evaluated in terms of their electronic properties, charge extraction ability, interface compatibility, stability and effect on photovoltaic performance. The critical review shows that successful engineering of the charge transport layers requires proper energy level alignment, efficient carrier extraction, suppression of interfacial defects and non-radiative recombination, and chemical compatibility with the perovskite absorber. Interface and absorber engineering are further discussed as complementary approaches for improving device efficiency and operational stability. However, the effectiveness of individual charge transport strategies remains strongly dependent on perovskite composition, device architecture, processing conditions and interface chemistry, while the trade-off between efficiency and long-term stability, together with cost and scalability, remains challenging. Future research should therefore focus on low-cost, stable, dopant-free and scalable charge transport materials, robust interface engineering, and standardized evaluation under realistic operating conditions.

However, the decentralised and multi-agent nature of P2P networks introduces complex strategic interactions among heterogeneous participants. This paper presents a structured and critically synthesised review of the role of game theory in modelling and analysing P2P energy sharing systems. A transparent literature identification process was adopted, drawing from major scientific databases and applying defined inclusion and quality assessment criteria to minimise bias. The review first establishes the technical and architectural foundations of microgrids and P2P trading platforms. It then provides a targeted discussion of game-theoretic concepts and explicitly maps equilibrium frameworks, including Nash, Stackelberg, cooperative coalition, Bayesian, and stochastic games, to operational challenges in P2P energy markets. Unlike purely descriptive surveys, this study critically compares modelling assumptions, information structures, equilibrium implementability, scalability constraints and reported quantitative outcomes across 9 major application domains, including cost reduction, demand-generation balancing, pricing design, uncertainty management, voltage constraints, cybersecurity and system resilience. Reported findings indicate measurable economic benefits, such as 2–5% seller profit improvements and 4–18% consumer cost reductions under game-theoretic pricing frameworks, although practical deployment challenges remain. Finally, the paper identifies key research gaps, including bounded rationality modelling, risk-aware stochastic market design, blockchain–game integration scalability, regulatory harmonisation and large-scale interoperability. By positioning game theory as a unifying analytical layer across economic, technical and behavioural dimensions, this review provides both conceptual clarity and a forward-looking research roadmap for advancing P2P microgrid energy trading.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100957,"journal":{"name":"Next Energy","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100723"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148539480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent advancements in porous carbons, heteroatom-doped carbons, MXenes, and transition-metal oxides, sulfides, and phosphides have made it possible for supercapacitors to have qualities that allow for quick charge storage, high power density, and long-term cycle stability. In contrast, nanostructured catalysts, such as perovskites, transition-metal dichalcogenides, layered double hydroxides, and single-atom systems, have shown remarkable activity and durability for the hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction in electrochemical water splitting.
