Key Highlights
•
A new “dry-processed” electrode design for lithium batteries uses a molecularly coupled carbon-binder network to enable much higher active material loading and stable high-voltage operation. This breakthrough pushes the energy density limits of batteries, which is crucial for longer-range electric vehicles and more efficient energy storage.

Researchers have developed a new wide-bandgap perovskite solar cell material, achieving a record 19.35% efficiency for the cell itself and 26.25% efficiency when used in a tandem solar cell with an organic layer. This is a significant step toward making highly efficient, multi-layered solar panels that can capture more of the sun’s energy.

A new catalyst made from single atoms of copper and palladium can efficiently convert glycerol—a common byproduct of biodiesel production—into valuable chemicals like formate, while also producing hydrogen. This process offers a more economical and less wasteful alternative to standard water electrolysis for hydrogen generation.
