Scientists from Texas A&M AgriLife Research have created a system that uses carbon dioxide, or CO2, to create bioplastics, which could take the place of the non-biodegradable plastics currently in use.
Organic semiconductors (OSs) used in organic solar cells show promise as a candidate for facilitating clean hydrogen production from sunlight. However, they suffer from slow charge transfer and chemical instability.
A magnetic field has been discovered to improve the production of synthetic biogas, an essential tool in reducing the use of fossil fuels.
In a paper recently published in the journal ACS Applied Engineering Materials, researchers introduced a scalable and simple technique for converting polypropylene (PP) surgical mask wastes into carbon fibers doped with sulfur that can show high sorption capacity for carbon dioxide (CO2) and selectivity against N2.
In an article published in the open access journal Sustainability, researchers studied the economy and safety of electric buses based on a driver’s driving behavior. The driving operation behavior was analyzed using remotely collected travel data of buses. Four economic and safety characteristic indicators were also retrieved using correlation examination, safety analysis, and an R2 test.
A new paper in the journal Materials authored by scientists from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Yangzhou Polytechnic University has investigated the properties of low-carbon concrete and its ...
In an article published in the open access journal Sustainability, researchers discussed novel pathways for incorporating blue carbon in the China Certified Emission Reductions (CCER) scheme and policy framework, he...
In a review recently published in the open-access journal Materials, researchers discussed new developments in the detection of ethylene gas.
