Chemists have mapped how proton-coupled electron transfers happen at the surface of an electrode. Their results could help researchers design more efficient fuel cells, batteries, or other energy ...

Electro- and photocatalytic materials are central to enabling sustainable energy conversion processes such as water splitting, CO 2 reduction, oxygen reduction, and ammonia synthesis. These reactions ...

Energy materials can be categorized based on their function—whether for energy storage, conversion, or generation—or by their specific applications and technologies. Here, we explore energy materials ...

Researchers have found a new way to improve a key element of thermophotovoltaic systems, which convert heat into electricity via light. Engineers designed a thermal emitter that can deliver high ...

Companies like Kairos Power are building new types of reactors with the encouragement of the Trump administration, but their success is far from assured. By Ivan Penn Reporting from Oak Ridge, Tenn.; ...
