Scalable approaches for precisely manipulating the growth of crystals are of broad-based
science and technological interest. New research interests have reemerged in a subgroup of …

The vast of majority of battery electrode materials of contemporary interest are of a
crystalline nature. Crystals are, by definition, anisotropic from an atomic-structure …

The future role of stationary electricity storage is perceived as highly uncertain. One reason
is that most studies into the future cost of storage technologies focus on investment cost. An …

The integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) has become more attractive to provide
electricity to rural and remote areas, which increases the reliability and sustainability of the …

Energy storage is widely recognised as one of the key enablers for higher renewable energy
penetration and future energy system decarbonisation. The term Carnot Battery refers to a …

Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are powerful companions for solar photovoltaics
(PV) in terms of increasing their consumption rate and deep-decarbonizing the solar energy …

Current power systems are still highly reliant on dispatchable fossil fuels to meet variable
electrical demand. As fossil fuel generation is progressively replaced with intermittent and …

Photovoltaic (PV) has been extensively applied in buildings, adding a battery to building
attached photovoltaic (BAPV) system can compensate for the fluctuating and unpredictable …

Energy harvesting from renewable sources can play a vital role to decarbonize the
environment, limit global warming and mitigate the growing energy demand. The objective …

Demand-side energy management techniques, such as load shielding, shifting, and
delaying appliance operation during peak periods, are typically used to reduce electricity …
