Dipole–dipole interaction facilitates anion-rich solvation structures in polymer electrolytes for solid-state lithium metal batteries

Polymer electrolytes are vital for safe and high-energy–density lithium metal batteries but face challenges from interfacial instability and Li dendrites. Here, we report a molecular design exploiting dipole–dipole interactions to tailor Li + solvation structures and interfacial...

Time-of-Use Pricing Enhances Vehicle-to-Grid Benefits for Power Systems and Vehicle Owners but May Undermine Decarbonization

Abstract Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is an important flexibility management technology for lower-carbon transport and the electricity grid. However, its effectiveness relies on the temporal alignment between the price incentives and grid dynamics. To overcome the challenge of coordinat...

A ReSCAL-based numerical study on synergistic optimization of photovoltaic arrays for sand control and power generation

In arid desert environments, photovoltaic (PV) arrays not only serve as clean energy suppliers, but also act as physical barriers to mitigate wind-blown sand movement. Based on the Real-Space Cellular Automaton Laboratory (ReSCAL), this study explores the coupled effects of PV ar...
