In this composite (PFG) film, the active carriers were identified as CN- and electrons. The sulfonate groups in P effectively dispersed the graphene flakes into nanoscale electronic channels, while P and F provided ionic channels for CN⁻ transport. By systematically varying the G content and humidity, a series of MIECs with broad electronic (σe) and ionic (σi) conductivity ranges were developed. Among these, the PFG film containing 3 wt% G (PFG3) exhibited a remarkable total Seebeck coefficient (S) of over -40 mV K-1 under a ΔT of 5.3 K at 80 % RH at room temperature. Additionally, PFG3 demonstrated stable voltage output (Vout) even after 3,000 sec. From the residual Vout, the electronic Seebeck coefficient (Se) was determined to be –990 uV K-1, the highest value reported for polymeric TE films. The simultaneous enhancement of Se and S in the same film indicated an optimized balance of electronic and ionic carrier contributions, further confirmed by the transference numbers and the conductivity ratio (σe/σi). The power density (PD) of the PFGs was also found to depend on the σe/σi, underscoring the importance of the controlling carrier contributions. Despite its MIEC nature, PFG3 efficiently transported electronic carriers through G channels, and the relationship between of Se vs σe aligned with a degenerate electronic model for PFGs. Scaling up the PFG3 film into a TE module yielded an energy density of 36.0 J m-2 and PD of 18.6 mW m-2 for a ΔT of 4.9K. The practical potential of the PFG system was demonstrated by successfully powering a diode for an extended period using TE energy harvesting and light-triggered photo-TE systems, highlighting the versatility and promise of this material for low-grade thermal energy applications.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142760095","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 cycling of active sites by proton transfer is highly likely to result in poor Faradaic efficiency (FE) of catalysts at potentials relevant to the hydrogen evolution reaction, especially in neutral solutions. Herein, we report the construction of an unprecedented mirror-symmetric nanoarray (MSN) assembled by c-axis-oriented single-crystalline WO3 nanoneedles, and design the oxygen-deficient MSN-WO3-x to anchor ultrasmall Ru nanoclusters for neutral NO3RR. Impressively, the resultant Ru/MSN-WO3-x achieves an outstanding ammonia FE of 95.1% at 0 V vs. RHE and delivers an excellent ammonia production rate of 12.38 mg∙h−1∙cm−2 at a low potential of −0.6 V in neutral electrolyte, which is 6.32 times that of commercial Ru/C (1.96 mg∙h−1∙cm−2). Additionally, the Ru mass activity of Ru/MSN-WO3-x is 4.6~9.5 times that of commercial Ru/C at various potentials. In-situ surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with multiple characterizations reveals that the electrochemically induced hydrogen intercalation occurs before NO3RR on Ru/MSN-WO3-x, which can trigger the phase transformation to generate the real active species (Ru/MSN-HyWO3-x) with accelerated hydrogenation process to ammonia. Further theoretical calculations indicate that bulk hydrogen intercalation is accompanied by altered electronic structures with band repositioning in HyWO3-x, which also accounts for the boosted hydrogenation process during NO3RR.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142758188","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}

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and building-attached photovoltaics (BAPV) are two key areas where the functional advantages of both OPV and BIPV/BAPV complement each other and thus could pave the way for market penetration of OPV. Herein, we report on large-area, all-solution-processed flexible OPV modules manufactured by a fully roll-to-roll (R2R) method with high levels of process repeatability. The OPV modules show an accelerated lifetime (ALT) of more than 1000 h and 2800 h under the ISOS-L2 and ISOS-D3 testing conditions, respectively. Long-term outdoor monitoring of the OPV modules was conducted in a typical central European climate, considering two distinct mounting angles that hold significant relevance for BIPV installations i.e., 45° inclination with respect to the ground (representing the optimal tilt angle of the site) and 90° vertical mounting (as mostly encountered in BIPV façades). The ISOS-O2 protocol was used as the test standard for outdoor monitoring.

Detailed laboratory investigations reveal that the higher Y<small><sub>FD</sub></small> values of the OPV modules at 45° mounting stems from their negligible temperature coefficient of -0.008 %/°C, whereas at 90° mounting, the angle-dependent response of the modules plays a crucial role.","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":32.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142758186","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}

Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the engineered dynamic PEI elevates the removal energy of active Mn species to stabilize dual-cations storage, and more importantly, provides highly available MnO2/PEI heterointerface spaces to accommodate more charges. We unveil that the exceptional heterointerface region with considerable charge redistribution enables a significantly reduced ion-migration energy barrier than that of the pure MnO2 interlayer, contributing to fast “multi-processing” storage of dual carriers.
