Abstract
With the rapid advancement of global industrialization, the massive consumption of non‑renewable energy sources such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas has triggered a series of global crises, including frequent extreme weather events and continuous ecological environment deterioration. Public environmental awareness has been growing, and calls for environmental protection and green‑living initiatives are rising. Against this backdrop, China has explicitly put forward the “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” strategic goals and vigorously developed renewable‑energy industries, including solar energy, wind energy, and hydropower. Nevertheless, the inherent randomness and volatility of these energy sources have become a bottleneck for the new‑energy industry, leading to mismatches between energy supply and demand. To address the above‑mentioned challenges and enable renewable clean energy to better serve human society, the chemistry of energy storage and conversion materials has gained increasing importance. This paper reviews the research advances in this field, cites relevant examples, summarizes existing challenges, and provides prospects for future development.
