Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Driven by the global strategic goals of "Carbon Peaking" and "Carbon Neutrality", the development of advanced energy materials and devices is the premise and foundation for the implementation of clean energy transition. The Special Issue of “Advanced Energy Materials and Devices” will focus on new technologies and applications of energy materials and devices. This Special Issue will focus on topics such as capacitor key materials and devices, battery key materials and technologies, power supply materials, and related energy storage materials and technologies. The latest achievements and trends in technological innovation, academic research, and industrial applications will be published and studied. Through this platform, we can build consensus and clarify the development direction of the industry in order to build a comprehensive and broad communication channel and truly provide references for the developments and applications of advanced new energy materials in the world. We invite researchers to contribute to this Special Issue who are working on this field. Review articles, short communications, and research papers are all welcome.

Abstract
Hydrogen production is produced for future green energy. The radiation–chemical yield for seawater without a catalyst, with Zr, and with Zr1%Nb (Zr = 99% Nb = 1%) were (G(H2) = 0.81, 307.1, and 437.4 molecules/100 eV, respectively. The radiation–thermal water decomposition [...] Read more.
Hydrogen production is produced for future green energy. The radiation–chemical yield for seawater without a catalyst, with Zr, and with Zr1%Nb (Zr = 99% Nb = 1%) were (G(H2) = 0.81, 307.1, and 437.4 molecules/100 eV, respectively. The radiation–thermal water decomposition increased in γ-radiation of the Zr1%Nb + SW system with increasing temperature. At T = 1273 K, it prevails over radiation processes. During the radiation and heat radiation heterogeneous procedures in the Zr1% Nb + SW system, the production of surface energetic sites and secondary electrons accelerated the accumulation of molecular hydrogen and Zr1%Nb oxidation. Thermal radiation and thermal processes caused the metal phase to collect thermal surface energetic sites for water breakdown and Zr 1%Nb oxidation starting at T = 573 K. Full article

Rechargeable magnesium ion batteries (MIBs) have attracted increasing interest due to abundant reserves, high theoretical specific capacities and safety. However, the incompatibility between Mg metal and conventional electrolytes, among the most serious challenges, restrains their development. Replacing Mg metal with alloy-type anodes offers an effective strategy to circumvent the surface passivation issue of Mg metal in conventional electrolytes. Among them, Bi has the most potential in Mg storage owing to its unique characteristics. Herein, the advantages/challenges and progress of Bi-based anodes in MIBs are summarized. The theoretical evaluations, battery configurations, electrode designs, electrochemical properties as well as Mg storage mechanisms are summarized and discussed. Moreover, the key issues and some views on the future development of Bi-based anodes in MIBs are provided. Full article
