However, a practical long-life device has not been realized, and theoretical aspects including mechanisms and thermodynamics have not been fully clarified. Here, this study provides a practical device and a thermodynamic theory for a concentration cell-based hygroelectric generator (hygroelectric cell, HEC), which enables high-power and long-term electricity generation by day/night humidity changes. Using a Li1+x+yAlxTi2−xSiyP3−yO12 glass–ceramic solid electrolyte membrane with no water permeability, an ideal HEC without self-discharge is realized. The ideal HEC generates electricity in an outdoor environment for over three months with a maximum power density of 60.4 μW cm−2 and an average power density of 3.0 μW cm−2. The maximum power density in the experimental environment reaches 436 μW cm−2. This is 68 times higher than conventional HECs with polymer-based cation-exchange membranes. The ideal HEC can also drive a wireless sensor for more than four months. Furthermore, a thermodynamic model of the ideal HEC, which enables calculations of the maximum work and maximum efficiency, is derived and the model is verified by experiments. This study provides new insights into both thermodynamic theory and device development aspects of the humidity-based energy harvesting.","PeriodicalId":29794,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aesr.202400342","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143554970","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}

Despite significant advancements in catalyst development, no single material meets the requirements for mobile applications. This limitation is primarily due to the suboptimal performance of catalysts in terms of hydrogen production efficiency and stability. To enhance the catalytic performance of sodium borohydride hydrolysis, a boron oxide-coated Co–Pt/boron nitride (BN) nanocomposite material has been developed, leveraging the oxidative support–metal strong interaction. The results demonstrate that CO2 oxidation etching of the BN facilitates the migration of boron oxide to the Co–Pt nanoparticles, forming a structurally robust coating layer. This configuration exhibits a strong synergistic effect between Co and Pt, significantly enhancing catalytic hydrogen production efficiency. Furthermore, the boron oxide overlayer effectively stabilizes the catalyst structure by preventing metal component loss and the deposition of sodium borate on the metal surface. The surface BOx also modulates the electronic properties of the bimetallic active sites. Ultimately, the optimal 0.4%Pt–5%Co/BN catalyst achieves a high hydrogen generation rate of 8272 mL·min−1·gmetal−1 and turnover frequency of 668 min−1 at room temperature while retaining 90.1% of its initial intrinsic activity after ten cycles.","PeriodicalId":29794,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research","volume":"6 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aesr.202400313","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256302","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}

Although γ-Al2O3 and Mg/γ-Al2O3 demonstrated long-term activities, significantly longer than those of the other catalysts, activity of γ-Al2O3 rapidly decreased, whereas that of Mg/γ-Al2O3 gradually decreased. Although Mg/γ-Al2O3 exhibited the smallest Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area among those of the synthesized catalysts, it demonstrated excellent long-term stability and the lowest deactivation rate due to the high total amount of weak acid sites. Mg/γ-Al2O3 exhibited considerably smaller crystal size of AlF3 compared to other catalysts. Additionally, after HFC-134a decomposition, the morphology of Mg/γ-Al2O3 was clearly less modified and metal agglomeration was lower than those of other catalysts. Finally, this was caused by the reaction of Mg with HF, forming MgF2, which inhibited the complete conversion of γ-Al2O3 to AlF3 and produced AlOFX, an intermediate compound.

Indications for hydrofluoric acid (HF) scavenging by TMSP could be found in the gas phase as well as on the electrode surfaces; however, it is observed that the use of TMSP leads to the production of HF, which it eventually scavenges. The investigation of the interphase formation shows that the decomposition products of TMSP are integrated into the interphases of both electrodes. This is accompanied by the formation of trimethylsilane as a decomposition product in the gas phase. TMSP also promotes the two-electron reduction of ethylene carbonate (EC), which is deduced both from an increased amount of ethene in the gas phase and from Li2CO3 on the electrode surface. The electrochemical investigations show that cells with TMSP have a lower interphase resistance after continued cycling. However, only the cells with 1 wt% of TMSP in the electrolyte outperform the TMSP-free reference cells. It is concluded that adding more than 1 wt% of TMSP increases the parasitic reactions of the additive to an extent that it partially counteracts its beneficial effect.","PeriodicalId":29794,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research","volume":"6 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aesr.202400297","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143770588","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}

BiFeO3, a promising multiferroic material with a narrow bandgap of ≈2. 12 eV, is well-suited forvisible light-driven photocatalysis. However, its photocatalytic efficiency isoften limited by insufficient photogenerated charge availability. To address this, a poling process was employed to align the ferroelectric domains within BiFeO3 nanoparticles, improving charge separation and enhancing photocatalytic activity. The findings reveal that the poling process preserves the intrinsic bandgap of BiFeO3, maintaining its visible light absorption capability. Steady-state photoluminescence spectroscopy shows a marked increase in the intensity in poling-treated samples, indicating enhanced charge carrier generation. Photo degradation experiments using Indigo dye as a model pollutant demonstrate that poling-treated BiFeO3 achieves a remarkable photodegradation efficiency of 99%, compared to 56% for untreated BiFeO3. Additionally, the poling-treated BiFeO3 retains 65% of its initial efficiency after four cycles, highlighting its durability for sustained environmental applications.

Few studies have been conducted to examine the techno-economic implications of improving consumption flexibility from an energy system perspective, but none have determined how these gains may affect future solar power integration costs. In this study, it is aimed to fill the gap by assessing the economic effects of flexible demand on solar integration and generation costs. Different scenarios for 2030 and 2040 of the Italian energy system are investigated taking into account future flexible demand availability and geographical distribution. In the results, it is shown that enabling a 12 h flexible demand can lower powerline transport capacity by up to 14%, and storage capacity by up to 25% in the 2040 scenarios.

Herein, the 2PACz, a typical SAM with the largest dipole moment, is chosen as the model system and is studied by vacuum deposition. It is found that the energy level alignment is determined by the orientation of 2PACz molecules on a different substrate. The molecules are lying down on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and giving nearly zero interface dipole. On solvent-cleaned and plasma-treated indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates, the SAM is vertically assembled with 0.22 and 0.13 eV work function increases, respectively. However, on sputtered ITO, SAM is assembled with upside down orientation, with 0.51 eV work function decrease. The change of orientation is due to strong interaction between oxygen vacancies in ITO substrate and carbazole head group of 2PACz. On perovskite film, SAM also shows a slightly upward orientation with additional passivation of free MA+ ions.
