The researchers, led by Jennifer L. Schaefer, professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, analyzed how magnesium-ion-conducting solid polymer electrolytes may work in two separate battery systems.
Carbon dioxide (CO2), a product of burning fossil fuels and the most prevalent greenhouse gas, has the potential to be sustainably converted back into useful fuels. A promising route for turning CO2 emissions into a fuel feedstock is a process known as electrochemical reduction.
Syngas is an important feedstock for modern chemical industries and can be directly used as fuel. Carbon monoxide (CO) is its main component. Direct conversion of widespread renewable biomass resources into CO can help to achieve sustainable development.
2021 is a year of celebration for Sensofar, we have been in business for 20 years. Our beginning was enhanced by the passionate and entrepreneurial spirit of our founders, when they wanted to leverage their knowledge abo...
Occasionally chemical reactions in the lab turn out the way one imagines them to, and from time to time they do not. Neither is uncommon. What is very rare, however, is what researchers at TU Wien have recently observed when investigating hydrogen oxidation on a rhodium catalyst.
