Carbon dioxide removal is anticipated to gain further importance due to lacking progress on climate reduction efforts. Meanwhile, CDR, including DACCS, is transitioning from a merely scientific effort to implementation, requiring policy and decision making based on a comprehensive understanding of the scientific body of knowledge. This calls for a source of information synthesising the body of knowledge on CDR, which we set out to author and publish as a series of systematic review papers on CDR. This first review focuses on DACCS. Given the need for practical implementation, this review reports not only on DACCS technology and state of development, but also on the state-of-the-art in technoeconomic and environmental performance, policy, equity & justice, public perceptions, and monitoring, reporting, and verification, closing with the foreseen role for DACCS in future decarbonisation scenarios.

Unfortunately, their practical application is severely impeded by parasitic side reactions and rampant dendrite growth. Herein, a free-standing multifunctional polymer framework based on natural Nicandra physaloides (L.) Gaertn pectin (NPGP) is fabricated by a facile one-step method without additional binders. Theoretical calculations and comprehensive experiments disclose that the 3D continuous skeleton structure and abundant polar groups of the NPGP protective layer synchronously suppress water-mediated side reactions, enhance the interface kinetics, and expedite Zn2+ desolvation. Meanwhile, scanning electrochemical microscopy and small-angle neutron scattering further reveal that the NPGP ensures dendrite-free Zn deposition. Benefiting from the multifunctional synergistic interface regulation, the NPGP-modified Zn anodes deliver an ultra-long cycling lifespan exceeding 5620 h, along with an exceptional average Coulombic efficiency of 99.64% over 1740 cycles. Additionally, the NPGP@Zn||MnO2 full cells achieve a high-capacity retention of 97.46% after 1350 cycles.

In this opinion article, we discuss the theoretical limits and thermodynamic mechanisms of photothermal catalysis, and identify prospective research directions, by developing an exergy balance model and taking the methane dry reforming reaction as an example. The balance between the needed and extracted exergies was found to provide a rational explanation for the striking observation that photothermal catalysis is not the simple summation of photo- and thermo-catalysis. As a result, the thermodynamic limiting efficiency and the corresponding conversion rate of the reaction are considerably enhanced at mild temperatures by photothermal catalysis compared with thermocatalysis, which is highly encouraging for the photothermal catalysis community. Furthermore, we analyzed the discrepancies between realistic limiting efficiencies and experimental demonstrations by using parameters that capture the non-idealities in the extraction of photon exergy. The analysis highlights the importance of reactor design for mild-temperature photothermal catalysis to achieve efficiency comparable to that of high-temperature thermocatalysis. This is a much less explored area that we encourage the community to turn their attention toward.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145183050","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, achieving high-energy storage in polymer dielectrics at ultrahigh temperatures (e.g., 200°C) remains a critical challenge, chiefly owing to the marked enhancement of molecular chain thermal motion, which gives rise to elevated charge conduction losses and diminished breakdown strength. Here, we propose a rigid-flexible synergistic multiple crosslinked network strategy that simultaneously suppresses inter/intra-chain charge transport while inhibiting thermal molecular motion. This rigid crosslinked architecture supports adjacent polymer chains, enhancing local segmental stability while also reducing interchain π-π stacking and dipole interactions. Further, enabled by the thermodynamic annealing of flexible segments, the homogenously distributed interchain rigid scaffolds strike a balance between local structural rigidity and global deformability, thereby efficiently mitigating bulk charge conduction and boosting energy storage capabilities under extreme conditions. The resulting material exhibits an exceptional energy storage performance at 200°C, with a discharge energy density of 6.91 J cm-3 at 90% efficiency. Moreover, it demonstrates outstanding cycling stability, maintaining performance over 50,000 charge-discharge cycles at 500 MV m-1. This study presents a new design strategy for high-temperature dielectric materials, showcasing the potential of multiple crosslinked structures to meet the demanding requirements of ultrahigh-temperature applications.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"144 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145141043","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}

By tailoring the degree of octahedral tilting and bond angles, it could finely tune the electronic structure, oxygen vacancy formation, and ionic transport pathways within the perovskite lattice. Herein, we propose an efficient strategy to tune the BO6 (CoO6) octahedral distortion by the A-site high-entropy engineering in the Nd0.2Pr0.2La0.2Ba0.2Sr0.2CoO3-δ anode with the average Co-O-Co angle decreasing from 175° to 149°. Exsitu and in situ characterizations and density functional theory calculations reveal that the high-entropy-induced CoO6 octahedral distortion could shift the O 2p band center of the perovskite anode towards the Fermi level, and consequently activate the lattice oxygen and accelerate the transport of oxygen ions. Electrochemically, the CoO6-distorted Nd0.2Pr0.2La0.2Ba0.2Sr0.2CoO3-δ anode exhibits promoted high-temperature oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance in solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), with a high current density of 3.96 A·cm-2 at 1.5 V at 800 °C and stability for up to 600 hours, which is superior to most reported anode materials.

Here, simultaneous modulation of macro- and microstructural ordering and surface defect passivation is achieved by meticulously designing dual-functional solid additives within the ZnO system to fine-tune nanoparticle stacking. Systematic analysis reveals that the solid additive (DIB) molecules strongly adsorb onto the surfaces of ZnO nanoparticles during film formation due to robust intermolecular interactions, providing steric hindrance that suppresses aggregation and promotes uniform film coverage. Upon subsequent mild thermal annealing, the moderately volatile DIB gradually sublimes, generating interparticle free volume that facilitates oriented attachment of ZnO nanoparticles guided by dipolar interactions, while concurrently enhancing interparticle Zn-O bonding to effectively passivate oxygen vacancies. This combination of structural regulation and defect passivation leads to ZnO films with improved electron mobility, reduced recombination losses, and favorable energy-level alignment. The resulting OSCs achieve a record power conversion efficiency of 20.1% (certified at 19.8%) among devices using ZnO-based ETLs, along with excellent thickness tolerance and operational stability. Notably, this strategy also demonstrates exceptional compatibility with flexible devices, delivering a record efficiency of 19.1%, and exhibits broad applicability across a range of DIB analogs.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145128006","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}
