文摘With a transition towards clean and low-carbon renewable energy,against the backdrop of the fossil-energy crisis and rising pollution,ocean energy has been proposed as a significant possibility for mitigating climate change and energy shortages for its characteristics of clean,renewable,and abundant.The rapid development of energy harvesting technology has led to extensive applications of ocean wave energy,which,however,has faced certain challenges due to the low-frequency and unstable nature of ocean waves.This paper overviews the debut and development of ocean wave energy harvesting technology,and discusses the potential and application paradigm for energy harvesting in the“intelligent ocean.”We first describe for readers the mechanisms and applications of traditional wave energy converters,and then discuss current challenges in energy harvesting performance connected to the characteristics of ocean waves.Next,we summarize the progress in wave energy harvesting with a focus on advanced technologies(e.g.,data-driven design and optimization)and multifunctional energy materials(e.g.,triboelectric metamaterials),and finally propose recommendations for future development.
文摘The use of solar energy to drive the chemical and energy processes,and the chemical storage of solar energy are the key elements to move to a low-carbon economy,sustainable society and to foster energy transition.For this reason,there is a fast-growing scientific interest on this subject,which is part of the general effort for a solar-driven chemistry and energy,the chemistry of the future.To realize this
文摘With the rapid advancement of information technology,electromagnetic radiation has become deeply integrated into nearly every aspect of modern life,from personal communication and industrial manufacturing to aerospace and national defense infrastructures.As the electromagnetic environment has become increasingly complex and congested,electromagnetic waves have not only brought unprecedented convenience but also introduced serious challenges,including electromagnetic interference,radiation pollution,and information insecurity.Consequently,the rational design and development of microwave absorption materials(MAMs)are critically important for protecting human health,mitigating electromagnetic pollution,and strengthening information security in the information age.
