Moerland, T.M. (author), Broekens, D.J. (author), Plaat, Aske (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)Sequential decision making, commonly formalized as Markov Decision Process (MDP) optimization, is an important challenge in artificial intelligence. Two key approaches to this problem are reinforcement learning (RL) and planning. This survey is an integration of both fields, better known as model-based reinforcement learning. Model-based RL...review 2023

Maiti, Sourav (author), Siebbeles, L.D.A. (author)In this Perspective, we provide an overview of recent advances in harvesting triplets for photovoltaic and photon upconversion applications from two angles. In singlet fission-sensitized solar cells, the triplets are harvested through a low band gap semiconductor such as Si. Recent literature has shown how a thin interlayer or orientation of...review 2023

(author), Suri, Dhruv (author), Wild, Thomas B. (author), Azevedo, Inês M.L. (author)Renewable electricity generation will need to be rapidly scaled to address climate change and other environmental challenges. Doing so effectively will require an understanding of resource availability. We review estimates for renewable electricity of the global technical potential, defined as the amount of electricity that could be produced...review 2023

Ritzen, L. (author), Sprecher, B. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Balkenende, A.R. (author)Bio-based plastics are attracting increasing attention due to their perceived sustainability and circularity. While enabling circularity by using renewable feedstocks, they still contribute to plastic pollution. Furthermore, their rapidly growing market will cause bio-based plastics to constitute significant fractions of plastic waste,...review 2023
