New Research in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: Semiconductor Layer Thickness, Dye Concentration, and Electrolyte Composition

Innovative Cellulose-based Films Revolutionise Solar Evaporation and Power Generation

Researchers from the University of New Brunswick and Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in China have unveiled a groundbreaking advancement in solar-driven interfacial evaporation. Their work, published in a recent paper, introduces a novel method for integrating zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle-modified MXene into cellulose nanofibre (CNF) films, achieving highly efficient photothermal performance for sustainable solar … Continue reading Innovative Cellulose-based Films Revolutionise Solar Evaporation and Power Generation

US finds clean energy storage both too expensive and too cheap

Clean energy has entered a quantum phase. Not in a technological sense, but in the co-existence of the contradictory positions: Cheaper green energy would support uptake, yet meanwhile the US complains that China is overproducing clean electricity technology and thus flooding the market with cheap goods. Perhaps this contradiction comes from the two ways we … Continue reading US finds clean energy storage both too expensive and too cheap

Understanding the Impact of Renewable Energy on Industrial Production and Trade Patterns

A recent paper delves into the complex relationship between renewable energy availability, industrial production, and global trade patterns, focusing on three key energy-intensive commodities: steel, urea, and ethylene. The study, published in a prominent journal, provides valuable insights into the potential for green relocation – the shifting of industrial production to regions with abundant renewable … Continue reading Understanding the Impact of Renewable Energy on Industrial Production and Trade Patterns
