Creasey,Manish Sharma Timilsina,Andreas Kafizas,Katie Shanks,Anna Hankin","doi":"10.1039/d6ee01157h","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d6ee01157h","url":null,"abstract":"Integrating concentrating solar optics with photoelectrochemical (PEC) reactors can increase reaction rates without relying on large-area photoelectrodes, which typically exhibit lower efficiencies due to resistive losses. However, concentrating optics can increase balance-of-system complexity because optical efficiency is sensitive to incidence angle, with imaging optics, such as convex lenses, requiring precise solar tracking to avoid rapid misalignment. Herein, a low concentration (2.9×) non-imaging crossed-compound parabolic concentrator (CCPC) was integrated with a PEC reactor, comprising a WO3|BiVO4|NiFeOOH photoanode and a Pt cathode. First, the photocurrent, measured in a 3-electrode arrangement, was compared in the absence and presence of the CCPC under simulated sunlight. The effects of irradiance and incidence angle on the CCPC were evaluated. The CCPC (± 30° half-angle acceptance) was resilient to wide incidence angles, enabling higher photocurrent densities than the non-concentrated baseline up to ≈50°. At 1000 W m-2 and normal incidence the CCPC-integrated PEC reactor delivered a water oxidation photocurrent density at 1.23 VRHE of 3.95 mA cm-2 compared to 1.40 mA cm-2 without the optic (2.82× increase). Alongside wide-angle resilience, the CCPC-integrated reactor had a near-linear relationship between irradiance and photocurrent, supporting operation at variable irradiances. Subsequently, the PEC reactor was coupled with c-Si PVs and validated in dynamic outdoor conditions. The CCPC-integrated reactor consistently delivered higher photocurrents than the non-concentrated system. Compared with convex lens integration, the CCPC showed increased resilience to changeable weather conditions, concentrating diffuse sunlight to a greater extent. Finally, the results were translated into annual H2 yield predictions and life cycle assessment (LCA). Translating laboratory behaviours into a seasonal performance model of a 20 m2 PEC demonstration further supported CCPC integration, predicting a 64% higher hydrogen production yield for a stationary CCPC-integrated reactor than a non-concentrated reactor with azimuth tracking. LCA showed CCPC integration reduced key midpoint impacts, including global warming potential, terrestrial ecotoxicity and fossil resource scarcity, by 19–68%, compared with a non-concentrated baseline. Overall, this work provides a proof-of-concept for CCPC-integrated PEC reactors, enabling a pathway to PEC scale-up using non-imaging optics to enhance performance without a complex balance-of-system.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149374947","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}

Herein, we designed an adhesive-free standardized punched coin cell that supports mainstream observation configurations for in situ/operando Raman spectroscopy and optical imaging of lithium-ion batteries, while maintaining the structural and performance integrity. We deconstructed how in situ/operando observation configurations bias phase‑transition dynamics in LiFePO4 electrodes. Unexpectedly, the phase-transition hysteresis was widespread in all cases but originated from distinct mechanisms. In internal configuration of half-cells, hysteresis was dominated by diminished local electric fields, whereas in external ones, it mainly arose from extended lithium-ion migration pathways. In internal configuration of full-cells, perforation of the graphite anode further induced concentration polarization, even leading to localized lithium retention in LiFePO4 electrodes. The Newman electrochemical transport models supported the aforementioned mechanism. Notably, phase transitions initiated earliest in external half-cell configuration with thin electrodes, challenging the prevailing preference for optimal observation configurations. The systematic dissection of phase-transition hysteresis mechanisms and comparison of phase-transition timing across different configurations provide a practical framework for reliable in situ/operando optical characterization.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149374945","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}

Despite its advantages, widespread application of the lithium–sulfur battery has been hindered by poor cycle life and incomplete sulfur utilization. Homogeneous redox mediators (RMs) have emerged as effective additives to enhance the capacity of the battery, yet their mechanistic roles and the links between their molecular properties and cell performance remain poorly understood. Here, we describe the structure–performance relationship of a range of redox mediators in these systems, revealing for the first time the sulfur redox reactions driven by the action of the redox mediators. We show that for quinone-based mediators, the potential of the second reduction is crucial in directing the interconversion between sulfur and lithium sulfide. Our results also demonstrate that mediators are not innocent in degradation processes and can induce parasitic reactions at lithium and/or degrade spontaneously. Incorporation of bulky substituents on the mediator structure enhances operational stability by suppressing these degradation routes. We identify 2,6-di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone as an especially promising mediator, delivering the greatest performance gains of the quinone-based mediators we studied, and providing a 16% capacity improvement over the standard after 100 cycles. Our mechanistic insights explain this optimal structure–performance relationship and rationalise why previous use of mediators have resulted in poor coulombic inefficiencies. This work enables predictive design of future RMs with improved stability and electrochemical selectivity, and offers a toolbox for rapid evaluation prior to cycling studies.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2026-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149368244","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 dynamic acceptor aggregation processes governing excited-state energetic disorder during film formation remain unresolved in real time. Herein, we tailored these aggregation pathways in PM6:L8-BO ternary blends by introducing three homologous isomeric acceptors (L8-BO-X, L8-BO-2Cl, L8-BO-F) as crystallization modulators and directly captured film-formation dynamics via in-situ absorption characteristics. These guest acceptors prolong the nucleation period and extend the subsequent crystal-growth window to approximately 100 ms, steering the system toward thermodynamically favorable J-type aggregation with reduced conformational heterogeneity. This dynamically tailored pathway narrows the excited-state energetic disorder, suppresses charge-transfer state broadening, and reduces non-radiative recombination losses. Consequently, all three ternary systems achieve efficiencies >20%, with the L8-BO-F-based device delivering an optimal efficiency of 20.81% (certified 20.22%). This work establishes that real-time kinetic control over aggregation pathways, achieved by incorporating homologous acceptors to slow crystallization, serves as both an essential mechanism for narrowing energetic disorder and generalizable materials design guidelines for developing low-loss, high-efficiency ternary organic devices.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2026-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149359769","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}

Their progress, however, is governed by a set of coupled trade-offs: increasing solubility often raises viscosity, widening cell voltage can accelerate parasitic reactions and chemical decay, suppressing crossover can compromise mass transport, and molecularlevel performance does not automatically translate into techno-economic viability. This Review organizes recent advances in neutral TEMPO/Viologen chemistries around molecule-to-system design rules for navigating these constraints. We discuss how desymmetrization, charge-balanced polar substituents, and solvation engineering increase deliverable concentration while limiting rheological penalties; how multi-electron storage, conjugation modulation, and topological editing enhance capacity and voltage within the practical aqueous stability window; and how steric/electrostatic shielding, conformational control, and molecule-membrane co-design mitigate crossover, nucleophilic degradation, ring opening, and oxygen sensitivity. We further evaluate how synthetic simplicity, safe-by-design molecular functionality, and compatibility with concentrated brines and salt-cavern storage feed back into electrolyte selection. By linking molecular structure, transport, interfacial selectivity, and deployment constraints, this Review provides a critical framework for translating neutral TEMPO/Viologen AORFBs from laboratory optimization to durable and economically relevant grid-scale systems.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2026-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149358701","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}

Unlike conventional ternary additives, AT-4H promotes ordered acceptor packing through favorable intermolecular interactions with L8-BO, reducing structural heterogeneity and improving molecular organization. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence combined with Marcus–Levich–Jortner analysis reveals decreased low-frequency reorganization energy and weakened exciton–vibration coupling, providing evidence for suppressed molecular-motion-induced energetic fluctuations. Transient absorption measurements further confirm improved excited-state evolution with reduced fluctuation-associated trapping. Consequently, AT-4H-modified D18-Cl:L8-BO devices achieve a champion power conversion efficiency of 21.08% (certified 20.41%) with reduced non-radiative energy losses.

Many reviews have broadly summarized and listed the degradation mechanisms, recycling technologies, life-cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic assessment (TEA). The high-value circularity depends not only on the recycling method, but also fundamentally on matching the degradation state of retired batteries with the destructiveness of the selected method. In this review, we propose a degradation-state-oriented device–material–element framework that links cathode degradation states to suitable recycling methods and value-retention levels. LCA and TEA are discussed to guide the selection for maximizing the retained value while minimizing environmental burden. Device restoration preserves the highest manufacturing value in mildly degraded batteries with intact architectures. Material regeneration retains the cathode-level value in structurally coherent materials through direct or upcycling regeneration. Element extraction is reserved for collapsed or mixed black mass, where only residual elemental value remains recoverable. This framework provides a rational basis for low-carbon, high-value battery circularity.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2026-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149305174","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}
