Photoelectrocatalysis for Hydrogen Evolution Ventures into the World of Organic Synthesis Glob. Chall. (IF 4.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-15 Giuseppe Sportelli, Miriam Marchi, Paolo Fornasiero, Giacomo Filippini, Federico Franco, Michele Melchionna
The use of light as a catalytic prompt for the synthesis of industrial relevant compounds is widely explored in the past years, with a special consideration over the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, semiconductors for heterogeneous photocatalysis suffer from fast charge recombination and, consequently, low solar‐to‐hydrogen efficiency. These drawbacks can be mitigated by coupling photocatalysts

Thermally Conductive Molten Salt for Thermal Energy Storage: Synergistic Effect of a Hybrid Graphite-Graphene Nanoplatelet Filler Glob. Chall. (IF 4.9) Pub Date : 2023-08-31 Adi Lavi, Avia Ohayon-Lavi, Yelena Leibovitch, Shmuel Hayun, Efrat Ruse, Oren Regev
Renewable energy technologies depend, to a large extent, on the efficiency of thermal energy storage (TES) devices. In such storage applications, molten salts constitute an attractive platform due to their thermal and environmentally friendly properties. However, the low thermal conductivity (TC) of these salts (<1 W m−1 K−1) downgrades the storage kinetics. A commonly used method to enhance TC is
