Nature Energy, Published online: 30 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41560-024-01525-7Ensuring rooftop solar photovoltaics are deployed equitably requires understanding who installs, where, and when. Through assessment of satellite imagery data, research offers a glimpse into solar rooftop photovoltaics deployment inequity in non-residential buildings in the...

Nature Energy, Published online: 30 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41560-024-01519-5Lithium battery performance hinges significantly on the solvation structure of the electrolyte and the resulting interphase. Here the authors introduce a fluorinated ether with minimal lithium-ion coordination and enhanced electrochemical stability, thus improving both cyclability...

Nature Energy, Published online: 26 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41560-024-01504-yUltralightweight perovskite solar cells that achieve a specific power of up to 44 W g–1 and good stability are developed through engineering of the photoactive layer and substrate. These solar cells can be integrated into a drone to enable energy-autonomous flight.
