A team of researchers from Japan has provided an overview of the recent advances, challenges, and future perspectives on solar-driven hydrogen production, a key technology being developed to move away from the reliance on fossil fuels for energy and fuel demands.
The dependence on fossil fuels is being reduced by people all over the world, and hence manufacturers and industries are giving preference to lithium-ion batteries to power the machines that make modern life possible.
A paper currently in pre-proof which will appear in the journal Water Research has presented research into using microbial fuel cells for wastewater treatment and energy production, two important industrial sectors with scope for improvements in terms of sustainability and green credentials.
To develop a novel, cost-effective, feasible, and harmless source of low-carbon electricity via nuclear fusion, materials engineers at the University of Surrey and the UK Atomic Energy Authority are extending a global effort.
As far as all modern electronics are concerned, lithium-ion batteries play a central role and are currently being implemented steadily in electric vehicles.
Renewable technologies such as solar and wind power are leading areas of interest for research as environment protection and renewable energy global trends influence how humans approach energy strategies toward a green and peaceful future for the planet.
Aluminum is a highly reactive metal that can strip oxygen from water molecules to generate hydrogen gas. Its widespread use in products that get wet poses no danger because aluminum instantly reacts with air to acquire a coating of aluminum oxide, which blocks further reactions.
Solar photovoltaics (PV) is the main turning point in the shift toward a sustainable energy economy. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) roadmap proposes that by 2050, electricity production from PV should realize 43% of the total installed power capacity.
While solar cells are normally used to convert light into electricity, researchers have demonstrated that they may also be utilized to produce high-speed underwater wireless optical communication. The novel method, which relied on a network of series-connected solar cells as detectors, could provide a low-cost, low-energy mechanism to send data underwater.
A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has shown how solar power can convert carbon dioxide into fuel, by using advanced materials and ultra-fast laser spectroscopy. The breakthrough could be an important piece of the puzzle in reducing the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere in the future. The study is published in Nature Communications.
