To this end, a 2D phosphorene/black carbon hybrid material is prepared and used as a counterelectrode in DSSCs. This work also demonstrates the stability of the manufactured solar devices under different aging conditions. The results show that the device based on a 2D phosphorene/black carbon counterelectrode achieves an efficiency of 7.53%, compared with 5.68% for the pristine solar cell based on black carbon only. Interestingly, after 1200 h of continuous light exposure, the DSSC based on the hybrid 2D phosphorene/black carbon material retains 87% of its initial efficiency, while the pristine solar device maintains only 62.5% of its initial performance. This study paves the way for further research into 2D phosphorene material and its use in this promising solar technology.","PeriodicalId":29794,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aesr.202400197","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143117053","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}

Developing efficient and cost-effective electrocatalysts is essential to achieve the commercialization of devices for the transition toward sustainable energy solutions. Herein, ternary layer double hydroxides (LDHs) are synthesized and characterized as electrocatalysts for OER using a potentiodynamic electrochemical deposition method on Grafoil. A chemometric approach based on experimental design is employed to rationalize the effort in the investigation of the LDHs which are based on Ni, Co, and Fe. The deposited films are characterized using cyclic voltammetry and X-ray diffraction to determine peak currents and potentials, and crystal size. Furthermore, the electrocatalyst performances are assessed by linear sweep voltammetry in 1M KOH from which the Tafel slope and onset potential are calculated. The obtained data are used to derive models describing the material properties and electrocatalyst performance as a function of the electrolyte composition used during the LDHs electrodeposition. This study provides valuable insights into the relationship between the electrocatalyst composition and its OER activity, enabling the design of more efficient and sustainable electrochemical systems for energy applications.","PeriodicalId":29794,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aesr.202400233","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143114562","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}

In this study, the magnified impact of UV radiation when employing a silicon carbide (SiC)-based transparent passivating contact (TPC) on the front side of SHJ solar cells is reported. A reduction in open-circuit voltage (VOC), short-circuit current (JSC), and fill factor of 12%, 6%, and 11%, respectively, is observed after UV exposure. Conventional UVID mitigation measures, UV-blocking encapsulation, are assessed through single-cell TPC laminates, revealing an unavoidable tradeoff between current loss and UVID. Alternatively, the utilization of ultraviolet-downshifting (UV-DS) encapsulants is proposed to convert UV radiation into the visible light spectrum. An optical simulation method, conducted via OPAL2, is presented to evaluate UV-DS encapsulants for diminishing UVID in SHJ solar cells with different front contacts. A simple methodology is proposed to mimic the optical property of UV-DS encapsulants. In the simulation results, additional current gains of up to 0.33 mA cm−2 achievable with suitable UV-DS encapsulants are highlighted. The factors related to the UV-DS effects are evaluated and the optimization pathway for UV-DS encapsulants is elucidated.","PeriodicalId":29794,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aesr.202400227","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143112340","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}

Nonetheless, the effective management of radioactive waste, which can remain hazardous for up to one hundred thousand years, presents considerable challenges that must be addressed to uphold public trust and safeguard environmental safety. This review outlines the fundamental stages of nuclear decommissioning including strategic planning, decontamination, dismantling, remediation, encapsulation, deregulation, and site reuse as a critical component of sustainable environmental practices. The review also highlights the significance of efficient decontamination processes in reducing waste generation. Various decontamination techniques, including mechanical, electromechanical, chemical, and advanced methods such as laser and plasma decontamination, are evaluated for their effectiveness and limitations. Moreover, the review emphasizes the need to enhance the recovery and recycling of ion exchange resin and potential radionuclides during decontamination processes to minimize waste and to address the depletion of potential radionuclide resources. Future research should prioritize the development of innovative techniques for decontamination and radioactive waste management, fostering sustainable decommissioning and supporting the ongoing development of nuclear energy in an environmentally responsible manner.","PeriodicalId":29794,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aesr.202400243","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143120685","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 sustainability is measured by gaseous carbon monoxide (CO(g)) formation, determined by the reaction stoichiometry of each theoretical approach. Decreased CO(g) formation is critical for alleviating the adverse environmental impact of ferroalloy production. The prereduction of FeCr2O4 by H2, followed by reduction by CH4 shows the largest decrease in CO(g) formation, i.e., a 75% decrease, compared to the conventional process. Furthermore, the H2-based prereduction and CH4-based primary reduction occur at lower temperatures than C-based reduction, due to kinetic advantages, and thus decrease energy consumption.

This methodology allows fine control over the formed nanographene structures to fabricated LIG and LIrGO supercapacitors. The LIG on PI exhibits a distinctive porous structure and high surface area, adsorption, and transportation of ions. Furthermore, paper-based LIrGO electrodes are recyclable and are formed in a single step.

The comparable energy densities for LIG and LIrGO are 0.32 and 0.16 μWh cm−2, respectively. From the calculative analysis of both types, the variation in specific areal capacitance enabling effective is 56.3% from GCD, indicating that the LIG device performs better.

To that end, an in-depth examination of utilized materials and relevant methods in conjunction with comparing electrochemical mechanisms is required. Lithium titanate (LTO) anode materials have received substantial interest in high-performance LIBs for numerous applications. Nevertheless, LTO is limited due to capacity fading at high rates, especially in the extended potential range of 0.01–3.00 V versus Li+/Li, while delivering the theoretical capacity of 293 mAh g−1. This study demonstrates how the performance of the LTO anode can be improved by modifying the manufacturing process. Altering the dry and wet mixing duration and speeds throughout the manufacturing process leads to differences in particle sizes and homogeneity of dispersion and structure. The optimized anode at 5 A g−1 (≈17C) and 10 A g−1 (≈34C) yielded 188 and 153 mAh g−1 and retained 73% and 68% of their initial capacity after 1000 cycles, respectively.
