Nature Energy
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.
Industrial-scale gas-exsolution electrolyzer for a breakthrough of upgrading CO2 toward valuable CO products and beyond
New technology developed by Professor Zhongwei Chen at the University of Waterloo could make a significant difference in the fight against climate change by affordably converting harmful carbon dioxide into fuels and other valuable chemicals on an industrial scale.
Risk of winterization cost explains unpreparedness of Texan power system during winter storm Uri
In shock we witnessed the reports about the catastrophic failure of the Texan power system in February 2021. Although based in Europe, we started immediately analyzing why Texan energy-only markets have not given the right incentives to prepare the infrastructure against such rare extreme events.
Achieving high power and energy density thermal storage in phase change materials
In this study, we propose an approach that achieves spatial control of the melt-front location of pure phase change materials using pressure-enhanced close contact melting, enhancing thermal management and storage to support a rapidly-electrifying energy infrastructure.
