Active sites engineering leads to exceptional ORR and OER bifunctionality in P,N Co-doped graphene frameworks
Highly efficient bifunctional P,N co-doped graphene framework (PNGF) with both ORR and OER activities that are superior to noble metal catalysts.
Bismuth oxide: a versatile high-capacity electrode material for rechargeable aqueous metal-ion batteries
Bismuth oxide can store energy electrochemically in seventeen aqueous metal ion electrolytes with high capacity based on a “quasi-conversion reaction”.
Understanding the rate-dependent J–V hysteresis, slow time component, and aging in CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells: the role of a compensated electric field
Ionic displacement modifying the electric field in the device is found as most likely reason for the hysteresis which is examined by separating fast and slow processes and comparing devices with and without blocking layer.
New insights into the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide on metallic copper surfaces
Having developed a new experimental methodology with enhanced sensitivity, we identify and quantify products from the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide on copper and discuss mechanistic implications.
About this collection
The EES Readers’ Choice Lectureship is awarded annually to one outstanding young scientist selected by the Editorial Board, from a shortlist of authors of the most-read articles from each issue of EES in the previous year. This collection features the Lectureship-winning articles by award winners since 2012.
The 2018 Lectureship was awarded to Professor Guo-liang Chai. Based at Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter (FJIRSM), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), his current research interests focus on functional materials for energy storage and conversion.
