The electrochemical reduction of nitrogen to produce ammonia is pivotal in modern society due its environmental friendliness and the substantial influence that has on food, chemicals, energy. However, current reaction (NRR) mechanism still imperfect, which seriously impedes development NRR. In situ characterization techniques offer insight into alterations taking place at electrode/electrolyte interface throughout NRR process, thereby helping us explore in-depth ultimately promote efficient catalytic systems for Herein, we introduce popular theories mechanisms provide an extensive overview application various approaches on-site detection intermediates catalyst transformations during electrocatalytic processes, including different optical techniques, X-ray-based electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy. Finally, some major challenges future directions these are proposed.

Unlocking the potential of liquid crystals as phase change materials for thermal energy storage

Energy Materials, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 5(4)

Опубликована: Янв. 23, 2025

This review paper examines the innovative use of liquid crystals (LCs) as phase change materials in thermal energy storage systems. With rising demand for efficient storage, LCs offer unique opportunities owing to their tunable transitions, high latent heat, and favorable conductivity. covers various types LCs, such nematic, smectic, cholesteric phases, roles enhancing storage. It discusses mechanisms LC transitions impact on efficiency. Strategies improve conductivities polymers have also been explored. One method involves embedding units within molecular structure promote orderly arrangement, facilitate heat flow, reduce phonon scattering. Aligning polymer chains through external fields or mechanical processes significantly improves intrinsic The inclusion thermally conductive fillers optimization filler-matrix interactions further boost performance. Challenges related scalability, cost-effectiveness, long-term stability LC-based are addressed, along with future research directions. synthesizes current knowledge identifies gaps literature, providing a valuable resource researchers engineers develop advanced technologies, contributing sustainable solutions.
