Lead story
What will fuel transport systems of the future?
Jerry D Murphy and Thanasit Thamsiriroj
Can there be a “silver bullet” to solve our energy needs for transport? In this paper, Murphy and Thamsiriroj question the notion of whether there could ever be a single solution to the replacement of petroleum products with renewable transport fuels. Their paper examines available renewable transport fuels through an analytical review of a number of technologies.
Reviews:
Lead telluride alloy thermoelectrics Aaron D. LaLonde, Yanzhong Pei, Heng Wang, and G. Jeffrey Snyder
The possibility of using solid-state thermoelectrics for waste heat recovery has reinvigorated the field of thermoelectrics. In this review, Snyder et al. examine the past and present successes of теллурид свинцаPbTe as a thermoelectric material, as well as identifying the issues related to maximizing performance in other thermoelectric materials.
Rational SOFC material design: new advances and tools Meilin Liu, Matthew E. Lynch, Kevin Blinn, Faisal Alamgir, and YongMan Choi
Solid oxide fuel cells offer great prospects for the most efficient and cost-effective utilization of a wide variety of fuels. Liu et al. highlight some of the recent progress that has been made in the tools used to study electrode reactions.
Li-ion dynamics and reactivity on the nanoscale Sergei Kalinin, Nina Balke, Stephen Jesse, Alexander Tselev, Amit Kumar, Thomas M. Arruda, Senli Guo, and Roger Proksch
Progress in the development and optimization of energy storage and conversion materials necessitates understanding their ionic and electrochemical functionality on the nanometer scale of single grain clusters, grains, or extended defects. Kalinin and colleagues review electrochemical strain microscopy, focussing on applications for Li-ion cathode and anode materials.
