Hydrogen is emerging as one of the most promising energy carriers for a decarbonised global energy system. Transportation and storage of hydrogen are critical to its large-scale adoption and to these ends liquid hydrogen is being widely considered. The liquefaction and storage processes must, however, be both safe and efficient for liquid hydrogen ...
With the rapid development of renewable energy harvesting technologies, there is a significant demand for long-duration energy storage technologies that can be deployed at grid scale. In this regard, polysulfide-air redox flow batteries demonstrated great potential. However, the crossover of polysulfide is one significant challenge. Here, we report...
As a new class of electrodes, MXenes have shown excellent performance in supercapacitors. At the same time, ionic liquid (IL) electrolytes with wider electrochemical windows are expected to substantially increase the supercapacitor capacitance. The combination of MXenes and ILs is promising for energy storage devices with a high energy density and ...

The development of high capacity and stable cathodes is the key to the successful commercialization of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. However, significant solvation penalties limit the choice of available positive electrodes. Herein, hydrated intercalation is proposed to promote reversible (de)intercalation within host materials by rationally designin...

Lithium-ion battery (LIB) becomes the dominant candidate for electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESSs); nevertheless, as its popularization, the number of safety (fire) accidents regarding with LIB thermal runaway increases, undermining the public confidence. Safety turns into one of the main concerns in the widespread usage of LIBs...
The envisioned role of hydrogen in the energy transition – or the concept of a hydrogen economy – has varied through the years. In the past hydrogen was mainly considered a clean fuel for cars and/or electricity production; but the current renewed interest stems from the versatility of hydrogen in aiding the transition to CO2 neutrality, where the ...
The objective of this study is minimizing the frequency deviation due to the load variations and fluctuations of renewable energy resources. In this paper, a new type-2 fuzzy control (T2FLC) approach is presented for load frequency control (LFC) in power systems with multi-areas, demand response (DR), battery energy storage system (BESS), and wind ...
Due to the threat of climate change, renewable feedstocks & alternative energy carriers are becoming more necessary than ever. One key vector is hydrogen, which can fulfil these roles and is a renewable resource when split from water using renewable electricity. Electrolyzers are often not designed for variable operation, such as power from sources...
