#Chemists devise technology that could transform solar energy storage The materials in most of today's residential rooftop solar panels can store energy from the sun for only a few microseconds at a time.
A new technology developed by chemists at UCLA is capable of storing solar energy for up to several weeks-an advance that could change the way scientists think about designing solar cells.
The new design is inspired by the way that plants generate energy through photosynthesis. iology does a very good job of creating energy from sunlight
To capture energy from sunlight, conventional rooftop solar cells use silicon, a fairly expensive material. There is currently a big push to make lower-cost solar cells using plastics
rather than silicon, but today plastic solar cells are relatively inefficient, in large part because the separated positive and negative electric charges often recombine before they can become electrical energy. odern plastic solar cells don have well-defined structures like plants do
because we never knew how to make them before, Tolbert said. ut this new system pulls charges apart
and keeps them separated for days, or even weeks. Once you make the right structure,
you can vastly improve the retention of energy. The two components that make the UCLA-developed system work are a polymer donor and a nanoscale fullerene acceptor.
the process generates electrical energy. The plastic materials, called organic photovoltaics, are organized typically like a plate of cooked pasta a disorganized mass of long, skinny polymer paghettiwith random fullerene eatballs.
But this arrangement makes it difficult to get current out of the cell because the electrons sometimes hop back to the polymer spaghetti
The researchers are already working on how to incorporate the technology into actual solar cells. Yves Rubin, a UCLA professor of chemistry and another senior co-author of the study,
This method demands less energy and is cheaper, and the synthesized materials have some incredible new properties.

including single atoms and larger structures, during an active reaction at room temperature,"said study coauthor and Brookhaven Lab scientist Eric Stach."
To prove the efficacy of this new mosquito-sized reaction chamber-called a micro-reactor-the scientists tracked the performance of a platinum catalyst during the conversion of ethylene to ethane, a model reaction relevant to many industrial synthesis processes.

"But with the micro-reactor, some signals were too small to detect. Particles smaller than a single nanometer were hidden behind
and deposits energy as it passes through the micro-reactor. The sample then emits secondary x-rays,
"Versatile micro-reactorthe new micro-reactor was designed specifically and built to work seamlessly with both synchrotron x-rays and electron microscopes."
"Brighter, faster experimentsthe collaboration has extended already this operando micro-reactor approach to incorporate two additional techniques-infrared
but other new micro-reactors can operate at up to 800 degrees Celsius-more than hot enough for most catalytic reactions
In the near future, this same micro-reactor approach will be used to explore other crucial energy frontiers,
including batteries and fuel cells.""We are seeing the emergence of a very powerful and versatile technique that leverages both NSLS-II

To accomplish this, traditional solar panels can be used to generate an electrical current that splits water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen,

unconventional method to fabricate high-quality, efficient solar panels for direct solar hydrogen production with low cost. The work is published in Nature Communications.
However, harvesting usable amounts of solar energy requires large areas of solar panels, and it is notoriously difficult and expensive to fabricate thin films of 2-D materials at such a scale
which is much less expensive than a traditional solar panel. The thin film produced like this was tested

#Reshaping the solar spectrum to turn light to electricity Researchers find a way to use the infrared region of the sun's spectrum to make solar cells more efficient.

Image-dipole distortionsjqi fellow Edo Waks and his colleagues have performed nanoscopic mappings of the electromagnetic field profile around silver nanowires by positioning quantum dots (the emitter) nearby.
namely that an"image dipole"induced in the surface of the nanowire was distorting knowledge of the quantum dot's true position.
This uncertainty in the position of the quantum dot translates directly into a distortion of the electromagnetic field measurement of the object.
The distortion results from the fact that an electric charge positioned near a metallic surface will produce just such an electric field
but it does have a net electrical dipole, a slight displacement of positive and negative charge within the dot.
the wire develops an"image"electrical dipole whose emission can interfere with the dot's own emission.
the presence of light coming from the"image dipole"can interfere with light coming directly from the dot.
The JQI experiment successfully measured the image-dipole effect and properly showed that it can be corrected under appropriate circumstances.
The resulting work provides a more accurate map of the electromagnetic fields surrounding the nanowire. The JQI scientists published their results in the journal Nature Communications.

mobile devices and electric cars. Lithium-sulfur batteries have recently become one of the hottest topics in the field of energy storage devices due to their high energy density
--which is about four times higher than that of lithium-ion batteries currently used in mobile devices.
One of the major challenges for the practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries is to find cathode materials that demonstrate long-term stability.
An international research collaboration led by Drexel's Yury Gogotsi, Phd, Distinguished University and Trustee Chair professor in the College of Engineering and director of its Nanomaterials Research Group, has created a two-dimensional carbon/sulfur nanolaminate that could be a viable candidate for use as a lithium-sulfur
Distinguished professor in Drexel's Department of Materials science & Engineering, has been used as the basis for much of Drexel's materials research intended to find better materials for batteries.
This structure is key to their potential for being used as electrode materials for lithium-sulfur batteries.
Currently, sulfur infiltrated carbon nanomaterials have demonstrated to be the most promising cathode materials for Li-S batteries.
This may have a significant impact on increasing the life-span of next generation batteries.""We have enough evidence to show that that the electrochemical etching can be a powerful method to selectively extract the'M'elements from the MAX phases,

#Researchers synthesize new thin-film material for use in fuel cells: Article in the journal APL Materials shows how to grow Bi2pt2o7 pyrochlore, potentially a more effective cathode for future fuel cells Abstract:
Researchers from Cornell University have synthesized a new thin-film catalyst for use in fuel cells. In a paper published March 10 in the journal APL Materials, from AIP Publishing, the team reports the first-ever epitaxial thin-film growth of Bi2pt2o7 pyrochlore,
which could act as a more effective cathode--a fundamental electrode component of fuel cells from which positive current flows through an external circuit delivering electric power."
"Up to now, research on oxygen catalysts in thin film form for clean energy applications has been focused on the perovskite-structured oxides
and their structural derivatives,"said lead researcher Araceli Gutierrez-Llorente.""The much less studied cubic pyrochlore structure is an appealing alternative to perovskites for such applications as fuel cell cathodes."
"The pyrochlore in question--Bi2pt2o7--has previously been synthesized successfully as a nanocrystalline powder. Epitaxial thin films can actually act as more efficient fuel cell catalysts than nanocrystalline powder,
but growing Bi2pt2o7 directly as a film requires oxidizing the platinum metal--a challenging step.
The team used pulsed laser deposition to co-deposit epitaxial? -Bi2o3 and disordered platinum. Annealing the film in air forced the platinum to oxidize
thought to be one of the most promising oxide catalysts for fuel cell applications, "said Gutierrez-Llorente.
The cathode of a solid oxide fuel cell electrochemically reduces oxygen. Bi2pto7's oxygen-deficient structure makes it an ideal catalyst for the process.
Synthesizing the material as a thin film instead of as a bulk powder opens up new possibilities for fuel cell technology."
