About this Research Topic
As the 21st century enters the middle period, human beings pay more and more attention to the environment in which they live. It is obvious that traditional energy technology cannot meet the development needs of today. Therefore, exploring new energy conversion and storage technology is one of the most important research directions for human beings to achieve sustainable survival and development. At present, this new energy technology mainly focuses on the reaction of CO2, H2, N2, O2, H2O, CH4, and other small molecules, by photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, thermal catalysis, photoelectric conversion, and electrochemical conversion.
This Research Tropic on “Energy Storage and Conversion Based on Small Molecule Reactions” welcomes original researches and reviews on experimental or theoretical/computational studies of all kinds of subjects, which include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
• CO2/CH4 conversion;
• Water splitting;
• O2/N2 reduction;
• H2 oxidation;
• Photoelectrocatalysis;
• New energy storage equipment.
Keywords: Photocatalysis, Electrocatalysis, Energy storage and conversion, Small molecule reactions
