There is an urgent need to minimize the dependence on fossil fuels consumption. The use of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar generation, requires its integration to large-scale storage systems to balance the ...

Replacing hydrocarbon-based energy production systems with alternative, low carbon footprint ones is an urgent necessity. Advancing in this direction requires a thorough understanding of local electrochemical conversion ...

ABSTRACT The transition to use more renewable energies is essential to mitigate climate change and to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. However, the intermittent nature of solar and wind energies requires more efficient ...

Photoresponsive textiles are gaining increasing attention for their potential in health monitoring, resource conservation, and comfort-related applications. Unlike electronic smart textiles, they deliver responsive functions ...

Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources, yet increasing solar cell production raises concerns about end-of-life recycling. Currently, solar panel recycling remains challenging due to the ...

This thesis investigates key aspects of photovoltaic (PV) systems to enhance their sustainability and economic viability, particularly in high-latitude environments such as Finland. This work focuses on four main subjects: ...

There is an increasing need to develop energy storage materials to enable further utilization of renewable energy production. Energy storages are required due to the intermittency of solar and wind power, to add flexibility ...
