Perspektiven von Nano-Energiespeichermaterialien
Perspektiven aufs Leben. Der wöchentliche Podcast rundum Glaube, Religion und Spiritualität. Wir erzählen, erklären, debattieren und sinnieren. Immer nah am Menschen. Sind den grossen Fragen
What is advanced nanomaterials for energy conversion and storage?
The themed collection of Nanoscale entitled “advanced nanomaterials for energy conversion and storage” aims to showcase the state-of-the-art knowledge on the development of nanomaterials with tunable properties for diverse energy applications.
Is there an environmental risk for nanomaterials in energy storage systems?
With normal use and proper disposal of the energy storage system, no release of nanomaterials in the environment is expected since these, as a rule, are enclosed in the storage system. Based on current knowledge, no environmental risk is assumed for nanomaterials in energy storage systems.
What is multifunctional nanomaterials research?
Multifunctional nanomaterials research can be defined as the study on how the structures of materials govern their properties, including their fabrication and design (Wang et al. 2020). Solar cell technology, as a valuable source of renewable energy, is nevertheless somewhat costly when compared to fossil fuels used to generate power.
What are Nanofluid-based solar collectors?
There are several contributions in renewable energy conversion and storage in the energy sector, such as solar photovoltaic systems, fuel cells, solar thermal systems, lithium-ion batteries, and lighting. Furthermore, nanofluid-based solar collectors are a new generation of solar collectors based on the use of nanotechnology.
What are the applications of nanomaterials?
This perspective summarizes the technical aspects of nanomaterials’ design, evaluation, and uses. The applications include solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC), microbial fuel cells (MFC), supercapacitors, and hydrogen evolution catalysts.
What are the different approaches to synthesis of nanomaterials?
For the synthesis of nanomaterials, two approaches are used: top-down approaches and bottom-up approaches. Nanoscale materials and structures have the potential to be used in the production of newly developed devices with high efficiency, low cost, and low energy demand in a variety of applications.
