52、 critical thing: technologies that can change electricity from wind and sun into a chemical fuel for storage and vice versa. Commercial devices that do this exist, but most are costly and perform only half of the expectation. Now, researchers have created small lab-scale devices that do both jobs. I

53、f larger versions work as well, they would help make it possibleor at least more affordableto run the world on renewables.The market for such technologies has grown along with renewables: In 2007, solar and wind provided just 0.8% of all power in the United States; in 2017, that number was 8%, accor

54、ding to the U. S. Energy Information Administration. But the demand for electricity often doesnt match the supply from solar and wind. In sunny California, for example, solar panels regularly produce more power than needed in the middle of the day, but none at night, after most workers and students

55、return home.Some companies are beginning to install massive rows of batteries in hopes of storing extra energy and balancing the financial sheet. But batteries are costly and store only enough energy to back up the power system for a few hours at most. Another option is to store the energy by transf

56、orming it into hydrogen fuel. Devices called electrolyzers do this by using electricityideally from solar and wind powerto break down water into oxygen and hydrogen gas, a carbon-free fuel. A second set of devices called fuel cells can then transform that hydrogen back to electricity to power cars,

57、trucks, and buses, or to feed it to the power system. But commercial electrolyzers and fuel cells use different catalysts to speed up the two reactions, meaning a single device cant do both jobs. The researchers must conquer this.“They did a really good job with that.” says Sossina Haile, a chemist at Northwestern University in Evanston. Still, she holds the view that both her new device and the one from the OHayre lab are small laboratory demonstrations. For the technology to have a greater impact in society, researchers will need to scale up the button-size devices, a process that typicall
