We investigated the prevalence of misinformation about EVs, predictors of misinformation endorsement and two potential interventions for reducing its impact. Surveys across four countries (Studies 1 and 2, N = 6,341) revealed that more respondents agreed with misinformation statements about EVs than disagreed with them. Conspiracy mentality emerged as the strongest predictor of such beliefs, whereas education played no role. In Study 3 (N = 1,500) we tested two interventions—a fact sheet and dialogues with artificial intelligence (ChatGPT)—for reducing belief in misinformation and increasing pro-EV policy support and purchase intentions. Both strategies showed modest effectiveness immediately post-intervention, and positive effects on misinformation beliefs remained significant at a 10-day follow-up. Our results highlight the prevalence of EV misinformation, the role of mistrust in shaping it and the potential for conventional and novel informational strategies to reduce it.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":56.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144238002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a greater understanding is needed of how the spatio-temporal mismatch between renewable generation and chemical load patterns may impact on power system emissions and security. Here we assess different electrification pathways across 22 Chinese provinces from 2020 to 2050. Using 2020 data, we show that reliance on grid electricity offsets CO2 reductions by increasing power system emissions, raising national emissions by 1%. Integrating co-located renewables without self-balancing flexibility exacerbates power system security risks, potentially increasing balancing requirements by 9%. To address this challenge, we propose the ‘Green Flexible Chemical Electrification’ pathway, transitioning from requirements for stringent co-located renewables to rigid temporal self flexibility. By 2030, Green Flexible Chemical Electrification demonstrates cost competitiveness nationwide, with green ammonia potentially generating 2 billion RMB in profit. Additionally, redesigning electricity pricing to incentivize chemical-side demand management further enhances power–chemical synergies.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":56.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144218784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the conventional CBD methods require time to achieve uniform films on large substrates and often fail to deposit high-quality films due to incomplete surface coverage and oxidation. Here we show an excess ligand strategy based on the CBD of tin oxide (SnO2), suppressing the cluster-by-cluster pathway while facilitating the ion-by-ion pathway to create uniform films. Our approach enables rapid synthesis of high-quality SnO2 electron-transport layers with reduced defect densities. The resulting SnO2 thin films exhibit superior optoelectronic properties, including a low surface-recombination velocity (5.5 cm s−1) and a high electroluminescence efficiency of 24.8%. These improvements result in a high power-conversion efficiency of 26.4% for perovskite solar cells, an efficiency of 23% for perovskite modules and an efficiency of 23.1% for carbon-based perovskite cells. This highlights its potential for the low-cost, large-scale production of efficient solar devices.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":56.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144211616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using geospatial levelized cost models, this study evaluates the economic feasibility of exporting green H2 in the form of ammonia from Africa to Europe under four realistic financing scenarios by 2030. Our findings suggest that without European policy interventions, green H2 from Africa remains prohibitively expensive with least costs from €4.2 kgH2−1 to €4.9 kgH2−1 depending on the interest rate environment. Using de-risking policy, we identify 214 locations in six African countries that may be competitive in the current interest rate environment, yet many of these face a challenging security situation casting doubt on long-term investments. Under optimal policy and interest rate scenarios, we find a least cost of €3.2 kgH2−1 in Mauritania by 2030. Overall, de-risking and strategic location selection are key to make African green H2 exports competitive on the global stage.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":56.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144193104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, a Li-mediated process has been shown to be effective for ammonia synthesis. In this approach, it is generally believed that when a voltage is applied, Li(I) is reduced to Li metal at the cathode, reacting with N2 to form nitrides; the nitrides react with a proton source in the electrolyte, making ammonia and Li(I) salts, which, in principle, allows the process to start again. A downside of this approach is that Li — being the species that is electrochemically reduced and that binds and reduces N2 — must play multiple roles, making optimization challenging. Now, Karthish Manthiram and colleagues at the California Institute of Technology report a cascade system comprising two different metals — Na and Ti — which share the required roles to electrochemically produce ammonia.The team use an electrolyte comprising a Na(I) salt, naphthalene and Ti(IV) tetraisopropoxide in an ethereal solvent. The researchers propose that, in the key electrochemical step, Na metal plates out on the cathode before reacting with naphthalene to form Na(I) naphthalenide, which then reduces the Ti(IV) species to Ti(II). This Ti(II) species is thought to act as the site for N2 binding and reduction to ammonia. Manthiram and colleagues report reaction rates up to 475 nmol cm–2 s–1 and a Faradaic efficiency of 24%, which are competitive with other, Li-based, systems. In addition to the increased scope for optimization due to the separation of roles across different components, the approach also has the benefit of not relying on Li, which is in increasing demand.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":56.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144145977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet given the relatively recent development of the technology, its reliability under operational conditions is not yet fully understood. In particular, TOPCon solar cells have been reported to be susceptible to contaminants originating from manufacturing or environmental stress. For example, sodium, which diffuses from the glass substrate, has been shown to degrade the front metal contact. In an academic–industry collaboration, Hongbo Tong, Xinyuan Wu, Zhenguo Li, Bram Hoex and colleagues across China and Australia demonstrate that the device’s rear side is also vulnerable to sodium corrosion and diffusion into the silicon layer.To simulate contamination, the researchers spray a solution containing sodium salts at the front and at the back of TOPCon solar cells under accelerated testing conditions, that is 85 °C and 85% relative humidity. While degradation is observed on both sides, elemental changes and chemical reactions at the surface are more pronounced on the rear side, as it lacks the robust chemical passivation layers present on the front side. The reactions lead to the formation of defects and the diffusion of sodium ions into the solar cell.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":56.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144145978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alternatively, it can be stored within nanoporous materials at moderate pressures (for example, 3.5 MPa) but this ‘adsorbed natural gas’ approach can suffer from substantial desorption with only minor temperature increases. Both methods therefore necessitate additional safety measures. Here we report graphene-coated porous carbon materials that can be charged with CH4 at high pressure and retain it at ambient pressure and temperature (below 318 K), thereby enhancing storage safety. Our data suggest that graphene serves as a thermally controllable lock that obstructs or activates pores to trap or release CH4, enabling a pressure-equivalent loading of 19.9 MPa at 298 K, and release upon heating to 473 K. The resulting reversible CH4 volumetric capacity reaches 142 v/v, exceeding that of various adsorbed natural gas materials at 3.5 MPa and 298 K when considering container space utilization.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":56.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144122764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
