Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications of Nanomaterials for Energy Conversion and Storage

Abstract

Ever since the commencement of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain in the mid-18th century, the annual global energy consumption from various fossil fuels, encompassing wood, coal, natural gas, and petroleum, has demonstrated an exponential surge over the past four centuries [...]

The intersection of renewable energy and environmental health: Advancements in sustainable solutions

“…The convergence of renewable energy and environmental health marks a pivotal juncture in addressing contemporary global challenges (Batra, 2023). With escalating concerns about climate change, diminishing fossil fuel reserves, and the adverse health effects of traditional energy sources, the importance of transitioning towards renewable energy cannot be overstated (Jia and Lan, 2023). Renewable energy sources, encompassing solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, and geothermal energy, offer sustainable alternatives that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and alleviate environmental degradation (Azarpour et al, 2022).…”

Construction of MnO2–Mn3O4 heterostructures to facilitate high-performance aqueous magnesium ion energy storage

“…The increasing development of smart devices and electronic wearables has led to a rising need for novel energy storage devices. 1–6 Aqueous magnesium ion hybrid supercapacitors (AMHS) have attracted significant attention from researchers due to their capacitive and battery-type dual energy storage mechanisms, as well as their ultra high-power density. 7,8 MnO 2 is a commonly used cathode material due to its abundance, high capacity, and high discharge plateau.…”
