Publishing monthly, this journal is dedicated to exploring all aspects of this on-going discussion, from the generation and storage of energy, to its distribution and management, the needs and demands of the different actors, and the impacts that energy technologies and policies have on societies.
Efficient Market vs Regulatory Capture: the Political Economy of China's Power Market Reform
China's power sector reform has been a topic of significant interest as the sector accounts for 45% of its carbon emissions. We delve into the efficiency changes spurred by market reforms and explores the influences of both market-driven and politically driven mechanisms in the reform process.
Lab-scale UV-Vis Spectroscopy Monitors Oxidation State Changes in Materials for Energy Storage
We report the use of affordable and widely-available UV-Vis spectroscopy to monitor redox activities during charge storage. The data allowed us to distinguish charge storage mechanisms and quantify the oxidation state changes, similar to synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
Photocatalytic H2O2 Production with both O2 Reduction and Water Oxidation
The efficient production of H2O2 from only H2O and O2 was realized by a self-assembled porphyrin-based photocatalyst, and the effect of carboxylic groups in the water oxidation to produce H2O2 was revealed.
