Ammonia can store and transport renewable energy for large-scale and long-term use. This Review discusses its synthesis under mild conditions through metal-mediated electrochemical, direct plasma-catalytic and tandem plasma-electrocatalytic processes, along with economic considerations and utilization in hydrogen production and fuel cells.

Wind turbine retirement will result in large end-of-life material flows that must be managed. This Review discusses material reuse and recycling options for composites, steel, rare-earth elements and concrete.

Multi-junction solar cells can provide a way to increase the efficiency of solar cells beyond the theoretical efficiency limits of single-junction devices. This Review explores the design and performance of multi-junction devices that use perovskite materials for the two wide bandgap middle and top layers.

Concentrating solar technologies can be used to generate electricity and process heat from sunlight, with the capability to store energy for use at night or when insolation is low. This Review discusses the status and perspectives in different fields of applications, as well as options for technical improvements.

Floating offshore wind farms can harvest the steady winds found at sea in locations where the seabed is too deep for fixed-bottom wind turbines. This Perspective explores the technical, industrial and social implications of deploying floating offshore wind on a commercial scale.
