Unlocking the Potential of Mechanochemical Coupling: Boosting the Oxygen Evolution Reaction by Mating Proton Acceptors with Electron Donors

Antonino Curcio et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that coupling perovskites with MoS2 mechanochemically can overcome the kinetic limitation of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and improve its activity. MoS2 at the formed heterointerfaces acts as both an electron and a proton acceptor, facilitating deprotonation of the perovskite and leading to faster OER kinetics.

Single Atom Ruthenium-Doped CoP/CDs Nanosheets via Splicing of Carbon-Dots for Robust Hydrogen Production

Haoqiang Song et al.

Summary: This study introduces a composite material design with CoP nanoparticles doped with Ru single-atom sites supported on carbon dots (CDs) single-layer nanosheets, forming Ru1CoP/CDs. The catalyst shows high efficiency for the hydrogen evolution reaction over a wide pH range and excellent stability and activity. Through density functional theory calculations, it was revealed that the substituted Ru single atoms enhance catalytic performance by lowering the proton-coupled electron transfer energy barrier and promoting H-H bond formation. This research presents a new approach for developing carbon-based hybridization materials with integrated electrocatalytic performance for water splitting.

Wind energy for sustainable development: Driving factors and future outlook

Perry Sadorsky

Summary: This paper investigates the driving factors of wind energy consumption in 17 major consuming countries using the logarithmic mean Divisia index (LMDI) method. It identifies renewable energy share and improvements in energy intensity as the main factors affecting wind energy consumption. Forecasts show that Canada, Sweden, China, and Germany are expected to have the highest compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) in wind energy consumption. Countries with high shares of renewable energy like Spain, Portugal, and Denmark are predicted to have lower CAGRs. Future increases in wind energy consumption will rely on the continuous rise in renewable energy share, which is influenced by energy policies promoting the switch from fossil fuels to renewables.

Fabrication strategies of porous precious-metal-free bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting: Recent advances

Jin-Tao Ren et al.

Summary: Utilizing renewable energy to perform electrocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production is a promising approach to address energy crisis and environmental pollution. The development of low-cost electrocatalysts with high and stable activity for both HER and OER is a key challenge for large-scale water electrolysis. Recent innovations in porous non-noble-metal materials, including heteroatom-doped carbon-based and transition metal-based materials, have shown excellent electrocatalytic performance for overall water splitting. Understanding the structure-activity correlation of these materials provides insights for designing highly efficient electrocatalysts based on non-precious carbon or metal materials in the future.
