Organolead halide perovskites are used for low-operating-voltage multilevel resistive switching. Ag/CH3 NH3 PbI3 /Pt cells exhibit electroforming-free switching at an electric field of 3.25 × 10(3) V cm(-1) four distinguishable ON-state resistance levels. The migration iodine interstitials and vacancies with low activation energies is responsible the low-electric-field via filament formation annihilation.
Carbon-based catalysts have been attracting attention in renewable energy technologies due to the low cost and high stability, but their insufficient activity is still a challenging issue. Here, we suggest that monolayer graphene can be used as catalyst for solar-driven hydrogen evolution reaction on Si-photocathodes, its catalytic boosted by plasma treatment N2-ambient.

The electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) to ammonia (NH3 ) is a potentially carbon-neutral and decentralized supplement the established Haber-Bosch process. Catalytic activation of highly stable dinitrogen molecules remains great challenge. Especially metal-free nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts do not often reach desired selectivity production rates due their low concentration NRR active sites possible instability heteroatoms under potential, which can even contribute false...

Abstract The use of organic materials with reversible redox activity holds enormous potential for next‐generation Li‐ion energy storage devices. Yet, most candidates are not truly sustainable, i.e., derived from renewable feedstock or made in benign reactions. Here an attempt is reported to resolve this issue by synthesizing cathode material tannic acid and microporous carbon biomass. All constituents, including the redox‐active conductive additive, resources. Using a simple, sustainable...

RFBs, which use soluble redox species dissolved in electrolytes, show great promise for large-scale energy storage systems (ESSs) because of their scalability, cost-effectiveness, and design flexibility that can decouple power diverse purposes; however, low density has limited widespread application. Most conventional ways to increase the date have relied on either exploiting high-concentration electrolytes contain large amounts materials per volume or developing with higher solubility....
