Ceramic materials for energy conversion and storage: A perspective

Materials and structures for stretchable energy storage and conversion devices.

Stretchable energy storage and conversion devices (ESCDs) are attracting intensive attention due to their promising and potential applications in realistic consumer products, ranging from portable electronics, bio-integrated devices, space satellites, and electric vehicles to buildings with arbitrarily shaped surfaces. Material synthesis and structural design are core in the development of high...

Materials for sustainable energy production, storage, and conversion

A steadily growing human population and the growing global economy have led to increasing energy consumption and the realization that fossil fuels are a finite resource on earth. Moreover, due to the rising global temperature, there is a need to reduce CO2 emissions to mitigate or prevent further global warming. Both needs have fueled international efforts to convert the current energy supply s...
