However, the wide bandgap and poor conductivity lower the CeO2 photo/electrocatalytic and energy storage performances. To overcome these limitations, various modification strategies (tuning morphology, doping or loading of metal nanoparticles, and heterostructures) have been applied for the improvement of photocatalytic (removal of organic contaminants from water/wastewater and H2 production and CO2 reduction reactions) efficiency, electrocatalytic (hydrogen/oxygen evolution reactions and CO2 reduction reactions), and energy storage performances (supercapacitor) of CeO2-based materials.

In this study, the effectiveness of hydrogen activation is demonstrated via microwave annealing of hydrogen-rich dielectrics coated on poly-Si passivating contacts. This method is compared with conventional hydrogenation techniques, such as annealing in N2 in the presence of a hydrogen-rich source (such as hydrogenated aluminum oxide (AlOx:H), hydrogenated silicon nitride (SiNy:H), or a AlOx:H/SiNy:H stack). Key improvements observed include a reduction in J0 from 30 to <5 fA cm−2, an increase in iVoc from 690 to >730 mV, and an enhancement in effective lifetime (τeff) from 0.6 to ≈3.5 milliseconds on phosphorus-doped poly-Si/SiO2 passivating contact samples. With a very short annealing time of ≈1–2 min, the samples passivated by AlOx:H, SiNy:H, or the stack show similar performance to samples subjected to 30 min of nitrogen annealing. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra corroborate the findings regarding the hydrogenation of the poly-Si layer and the c-Si substrate, with an increase in PL intensity after microwave annealing. Ultimately, this work suggests that microwave annealing could be a promising addition, offering flexibility to traditional firing hydrogenation processes.","PeriodicalId":29794,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research","volume":"6 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aesr.202500004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145237288","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}

However, optimizing catalyst composition and structure remains a costly and time-consuming process. Here, a comprehensive design strategy is presented for the fast development of efficient Al-doped Mn3O4-based photocatalysts, combining density functional theory (DFT), machine learning (ML), and laboratory experiments. DFT-calculated effective mass and bandgaps, serving as indicators of charge mobility and light harvesting, respectively, are employed as descriptors to determine the optimal Al dopant amount. Al0.5Mn2.5O4 is identified as a promising candidate due to its favorable bandgap and charge mobility. To further enhance performance, AlxMn3−xO4/Ag3PO4 heterojunctions are synthesized, leveraging ML to optimize the ratios between AlxMn3−xO4 and Ag3PO4. The best material is determined to be an Al0.5Mn2.5O4/35 wt%-Ag3PO4 composite, which exhibits a 27-fold increase in photocatalytic efficiency for methylene blue degradation under visible light compared to pristine Mn3O4. This study not only provided promising photocatalysts for practical pollutant degradation but highlighted the potential of computational and ML-guided approaches to accelerate photocatalyst discovery.

Among all active and passive techniques of heat transfer enhancement, the current review has been focused on turbulators and their integration with nanofluids due to cost-effectiveness and practicality. The turbulators like coiled tubes, extended fins, and swirl flow devices create local vortices to distort the fluid flow boundary layer, which results in an enhanced convective heat transfer process. Further, the use of nanofluids with improved thermophysical properties can also be considered to see the synergizing effect of turbulators for further enhancements in the heat transfer rates. The present review reflects that, among the different turbulators considered, the wire coil insertion offers better thermal efficiency with reduced pressure drops. Thus, the combined approach using nanofluids and turbulators has ample potential to attain higher heat transfer performance compared to conventional methods. Despite the great development, the full mechanism, especially with nanofluid interactions, is still not well elucidated. Current limitations and future research opportunities are highlighted in this review to emphasize that continuous studies are needed to optimize these techniques in order to have better energy systems.","PeriodicalId":29794,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research","volume":"6 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aesr.202400335","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143909477","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 results indicate that LFP electrodes are stable at such high potentials and that cycling up to 5.0 V (versus Li+/Li) at a rate of 1 C yields a 15% higher capacity compared to cycling up to 4.0 V (versus Li+/Li). The results further indicate that the lithiation of delithiated LFP electrode is incomplete. This yields a diffusion-controlled capacity loss as some Li+ ions (and associated electrons) diffuse too far into the electrode to be accessible on the timescale of the subsequent delithiation. Analogue diffusion-controlled capacity losses are also demonstrated for LFP–graphite full-cells cycled up to 4.0 and 5.0 V. These insights, pave the way for new approaches to minimize capacity losses for lithium-ion batteries.
