Shifting the production and disposal of renewable energy as well as energy storage systems toward recycling is vital for the future of society and the environment. The materials that make up the systems have an adverse effect on the environment. If no changes are made, the CO emissions will continue to increase while also impacting vital resources such as contaminating water sources and wildlife, manifesting in rising sea levels, and air pollution. The development of renewable energy storage systems (RESS) based on recycling utility and energy storage have been an important step in making renewable energy more readily available and more reliable. The emergence of RESS has revolutionized the way energy is obtained and stored for future uses. RESS such as those based on recycling utility and energy storage, provide a reliable and efficient means to harvest, store and provide energy from renewable sources on a large scale. The potential to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, increase energy security, and help protect the environment makes RESS an important tool in the fight against climate change. As the technology evolves, such systems will continue to play a vital role in the green energy revolution, providing access to a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective power source. This paper provides an overview of the current research on recycling utility based renewable energy storage systems, including their components, power sources, benefits, and challenges. Finally, it assesses potential methods to overcome the challenges and improve the efficiency and reliability of the recycling utility based renewable energy storage systems.

The structure and dynamics of water at charged graphene interfaces fundamentally influence molecular responses to electric fields with implications for applications in energy storage, catalysis, and surface chemistry. Leveraging the realism of the MB-pol data-driven many-body potential and advanced path-integral quantum dynamics, we analyze the vibrational sum frequency generation (vSFG) spectrum of graphene/water interfaces under varying surface charges. Our quantum simulations reveal a distinctive dangling OH peak in the vSFG spectrum at neutral graphene, consistent with recent experimental findings yet markedly different from those of earlier studies.

The aqueous zinc metal battery holds great potential for large-scale energy storage due to its safety, low cost, and high theoretical capacity. However, challenges such as corrosion and dendritic growth necessitate controlled zinc deposition. This study employs epitaxy to achieve large-area, dense, and ultraflat zinc plating on textured copper foil.

Ion transport through atomically thin nano/subnanopores, such as those in monolayer graphene, presents challenges to traditional ion conduction models, primarily due to extreme confinement effects and hydration interactions. Under these conditions, existing models fail to account for conductance behaviors at the nano- and subnanometer scales. In this study, we perform a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of ion transport in monolayer graphene nano/subnanopores across varying salt concentrations.

Aphids exhibit a unique reproductive strategy known as pseudoplacental viviparity, in which embryos develop internally and are thought to receive nutrients such as sugars and amino acids directly from the maternal hemolymph through an ovariole sheath, bypassing the need for traditional yolk storage. This system enables viviparous aphids to adapt to diverse and potentially stressful environments by transmitting maternal environmental cues that influence transgenerational plasticity. However, the mechanisms underlying this nutrient-mediated plasticity are poorly understood.

While the highest-performing memristors currently available offer superior storage density and energy efficiency, their large-scale integration is hindered by the random distribution of filaments and nonuniform resistive switching in memory cells. Here, we demonstrate the self-organized synthesis of a type of two-dimensional protonic coordination polymers with high crystallinity and porosity. Hydrogen-bond networks containing proton carriers along its nanochannels enable uniform resistive switching down to the subnanoscale range.
