However, energy has been historically coupled with greenhouse gas emissions. Meeting energy demand while decoupling it from emissions is urgent yet challenging due to our widespread and long-standing reliance on fossil energy sources, infrastructure, and related feedstocks. Here, we discuss how disruptive innovations across three major areas can catalyze the new sustainable energy rush. Firstly, we need abundant, emissions-free primary energy production through innovations that accelerate deployment of mature technologies and advance nascent technologies with promising technoeconomics and scalability. Second, efficient, intermodal methods to transport the future mix of emissions-free electrical, thermal, and chemical energy are essential. Lastly, sustainable carbon sources and conversion processes must be established to produce wide-ranging chemicals and materials. We discuss exemplary technologies that need to be developed or drastically improved to quickly reach cost targets for broad deployment and adoption. We highlight how true disruption in these core areas will create completely new learning curves and create future new industries. These technologies require multi-disciplinary expertise and collaborations across academia, industry, and government to ultimately realize this vision of a sustainable, prosperous energy future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":343,"journal":{"name":"Joule","volume":"9 3","pages":"Article 101849"},"PeriodicalIF":38.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143258558","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 this perspective, we challenge the prevailing narrative around this radiation tolerance, suggesting that perovskites may not be as tolerant as currently perceived and that further work is needed to fully understand radiation-matter interactions in these systems. We suggest that a unique combination of lattice softness, strong electron-phonon coupling, and low intrinsic thermal conductivity places halide perovskites in a category of unconventional semiconductors, enabling them to self-heal from radiation-induced displacement damage, unexpected for structurally vulnerable materials. Nevertheless, we postulate that the tendency for halide perovskites to self-heal might also be their Achilles’ heel, making them vulnerable to ionizing radiation that involves sharp localized phonon-mediated temperature spikes and decomposition at higher radiation fluence. Calling attention to this unusual characteristic, we attempt to spur the development of theoretical and experimental insights with the goal of realizing tailored device architectures that can withstand coupled extremes where radiation, thermal cycling, vacuum, and air mass 0 (AM0) illumination join forces and inflict catastrophic nonlinear damage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":343,"journal":{"name":"Joule","volume":"9 3","pages":"Article 101852"},"PeriodicalIF":38.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143518509","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}
