Designing cost-effective electrocatalysts for electrochemical water splitting to generate the hydrogen energy as a future energy source is pivotal. An excellent catalyst should show high catalytic activity for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxy ...
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) have developed to a mature technology, able to achieve electrical efficiencies beyond 60%. This makes them particularly suitable for off-grid applications, where SOFCs can supply both electricity and heat at high efficiency. C ...
Hydrogen gas is a storable form of chemical energy that could complement intermittent renewable energy conversion. One of the main disadvantages of hydrogen gas arises from its low density, and therefore, efficient handling and storage methods are key fact ...
Our current energy production is convenient and simple, but it is not sustainable. The negative impacts on our environment are omnipresent in the form of smog, extinction of species, and global warming. A major challenge of our generation is the transition ...
The valorization of carbon dioxide and its transformation into useful chemicals is essential as mankind consumes more and more fossil fuels, thus producing equivalent wastes. The storage of hydrogen, a promising energy carrier, is also of great interest in ...
The incessant growth in energy demand has resulted in the deployment of renewable energy generators to reduce the impact of fossil fuel dependence. However, these generators often suffer from intermittency and require energy storage when there is over-gene ...
At the dawn of the 21st century, mankind is facing an important energy challenge. Future energy demand can only be met by large scale exploitation of renewable energy resources. Solar energy is abundant, with a sufficient capacity for the growing energy de ...
Formic acid is considered as one of the promising organic liquid hydrogen carriers for the next generation; it can offer a viable method for safe hydrogen transport. In this chapter, we introduce the potential of formic acid in terms of thermodynamics and ...
Nowadays, mankind is facing an important energy challenge. Depletion in fossil fuels reserves and increasing energy demand, coupled with the problematic greenhouse effect induced by massive anthropogenic release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, are d ...
Nowadays, the efficient, stable, and scalable conversion of solar energy into chemical fuels represents a great scientific, economic, and ethical challenge. Amongst the available candidate technologies, photoelectrochemical water splitting potentially has ...
