Lithium-ion batteries have taken the world by storm thanks to their remarkable properties. However, the scarcity and high cost of lithium has led researchers to look for alternative types of rechargeable batteries made using more abundant materials, such as sodium. One particularly promising type of sodium-based battery is seawater batteries (SWBs), which use seawater as the cathode.
The carbon material graphene has no well-defined thickness, it merely consists of one single layer of atoms. It is therefore often referred to as a "two-dimensional material".
Electrolysis of water or "water electrosplitting" has received a great deal of attention recently owing to its potential as a clean source of hydrogen, the oft-touted fuel of the future.
From June 21-24, 2022, the international laboratory sector will once again meet in person at analytica, its biggest industry platform, in Munich.
Master Bond EP21AC is a two part epoxy with a non-halogenated filler that is formulated for applications where arc resistance and flame retardancy are required.
Asynt reports how the Process Intensification Group, within the School of Engineering at Newcastle University, UK is using the MultiCell-PLUS High-Pressure Reactor as part of their program of ongoing research to create a new environmentally friendly generation of catalysts for production of biorenewable chemicals.
Zeolites are microporous aluminosilicates that are commonly used as catalysts and adsorbents in many applications. Acid site characterization of a zeolite is crucial to gauge and optimize it for a wi...
Our second video featuring Dr Mark Else (NIAB EMR’s Head of Crop Science) looks in detail at how the NIAB EMR research teams use the Delta-T Devices WET-2 and SM150T Sensors to monitor soil moisture, temperature an...
