Currently, there is an emergent interest in the antiperovskite family of materials in the context of energy applications in view of their distinct and peculiar set of structural and electronic properties. This work examines the surface-modified antiperovskite nitride CuNCo3 as a high-performance anode material for Li-ion storage devices. The antipe...

We consider well-known signatures of disorder in crystallographic and inelastic neutron scattering data. We show that these can arise from different types of disorder, corresponding to different values of the system entropy. Correlating the entropy of a material with its atomistic structure and dynamics is in general a difficult problem that requir...

Cubic SrVO3 perovskite oxide is an attractive candidate for high-temperature energy applications due to its favorable features such as multiple oxidation state cations, high structural and thermal stabilities, ability to accommodate a large number of oxygen vacancies, and cost-effectiveness. Herein, the temperature-dependent reduction properties of...

Notwithstanding the in-depth understanding of lead-acid battery degradation processes developed in a time-honored field of science, there is still wide scope for knowledge-based technological advancements, in particular, targeting positive plate (PP) durability. Non-destructive imaging of the internal morphology, structure and chemistry of these co...

In the research for the decarbonization processes, electrochemistry is among the most studied routes for the conversion of carbon dioxide in added-value products, thanks to the up-scalability and the mild conditions of work of the technology. In this framework, modeling the electrochemical reactor is a powerful tool to predict and optimize importan...

To overcome the challenges associated with poor temporal stability of perovskite solar cells, methods are required that allow for fast iteration of fabrication and characterisation, such that optimal device performance and stability may be actively pursued. Currently, establishing the causes of underperformance is both complex and time-consuming, a...

A new chapter of space exploration is opening with future long-duration space missions toward the Moon and Mars. In this context, the European Space Agency is developing out-of-the-earth manufacturing abilities, to overcome the absence of regular supplies for astronauts’ vital needs (food, health, housing, energy). Additive manufacturing is at the ...

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) work on the principle of tribo and contact electrification, which is a common phenomenon observed in daily life. TENGs are moving closer to commercialization, particularly for small scale energy harvesting and self-powered sensing. The toys and games industry has attracted a large audience recently with the intro...

Cellulose is made up of linear polymers of glucose monomers that could be a crucial source for valuable chemicals and sustainable liquid fuels. Cellulose is however, very stable and its conversion to a useful fuel or platform chemical products remains a significant challenge (Kimura et al 2015 Sci. Rep. 5 16266; Xia et al 2016 Nat. Commun. 7 11162)...

Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) show promise to help lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) in giving response to those applications that require an energy storage solution. However, pre-lithiation is a major challenge that needs to be tackled in order to develop efficient and long-lasting LIBs and LICs. In this w...
