A salt used to create a green rocket fuel is known to decompose metals-;such as those in metal propellant storage tanks. Recent research at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign found that there are also trace metals in the fuel itself and investigated a way to slow the decomposition using compounds that bind to metals.
From identifying of viruses, to drugs, to explosives, the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technique can do it all and with great sensitivity and accuracy.
Researchers from the University of Birmingham, U.K., and Duke University, U.S., have created a new family of polymers from sustainable sources that retain all of the same qualities as common plastics, but are also degradable and mechanically recyclable.
The carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) powered by renewable electricity is promising for the sustainable production of carbon-based chemicals.
First reported in 1928 by Otto Diels and Kurt Alder, the Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most relevant transformations in organic chemistry. Its capacity to generate six-membered rings enables the synthesis of different compounds with numerous chemical and industrial applications. The synthesis of morphine was among these first relevant applications of the Diels-Alder reaction.
New research, published in the journal Energy Storage Materials, details a GPE synthesizing process and reveals that this could be a promising approach for engineering stable and conductive Li/polymer electrolyte interfaces for dendrite-free-lithium metal batteries.
