Noble metals have been widely used as heterogeneous catalysts because they easily stand out with high activity and selectivity for many reactions of both scientific and industrial interest.
Catalysts are workhorses that help reactions occur. Put to work, they transform starting materials, such as fossil fuels, biomass or even waste, into products and fuels with minimal energy.
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University at Buffalo have developed and demonstrated a 'self-driving lab' that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and fluidic systems to advance our understanding of metal halide perovskite (MHP) nanocrystals.
A comprehensive understanding of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial for the development of high-efficient catalysts that can play a vital role in various electrochemical anodic reactions that convert renewable energy into fuels.
Chemists have developed a nano-scale structure that combines copper, gold and silver to work as a superior catalyst in a chemical reaction whose improved performance will be essential if carbon capture and utilization efforts are to succeed in helping to mitigate global warming.
Strings of sugars called polysaccharides are the most abundant biopolymers on Earth.
StocExpo, the largest and longest-running international bulk liquid storage event, is returning 23-25 May 2022 at the Rotterdam Ahoy with a variety of exhibitors set to be present.
Accurate pressure-controlled 3D printers ensure structural soundness of objects, enabling additive manufacturing to become mainstream.
The battery system of Aluminum-sulfur (Al-S) exhibits a theoretical energy density as high as 1340 Wh kg-1. Such high energy density and affordable raw materials are the reasons behind making the Al-S battery a hopeful alternative-energy storage device.
Perovskite solar cells exhibit great potential for enhanced energy-conversion efficiency; however, they degrade in sunlight, causing their performance to deteriorate over time.
