The production of aluminium generates around 180 million tonnes of toxic red mud every year. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung, a centre for iron research, have now shown how green steel can be produced from aluminium production waste in a relatively simple way.
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry (TIPC), headed by Professor Ercang Luo, and their associates have created a cutting-edge heat-driven thermoacoustic refrigerator (HDTR) with a unique bypass configuration that greatly boosts this technology's efficiency.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction by electrocatalysis is thought to be a useful tactic for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the energy problem.
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and Los Alamos National Laboratory, publishing in the latest issue of Nature Communications, describe the discovery of a new method that transforms everyday materials like glass into materials scientists can use to make quantum computers.
Recent studies have shown that a number of chemical alterations (binders, composite materials, and electrolytes) improve the electrochemical performance and offer greater stability for Si-based anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
As of January 2024, Coca-Cola has initiated a label-less packaging trial in the UK, aiming to reduce waste and enhance recyclability, all while maintaining product integrity.
For the first time, scientists have engineered an enzyme that can break stubborn man-made bonds between silicon and carbon that exist in widely used chemicals known as siloxanes, or silicones.
Glass is being used in a wider range of high-performance applications, including those for consumers and industry, military and aerospace electronics, coatings and optics.
There is a growing need for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries as a transition to "greener" energy sources. Nonetheless, most of their cathodes are made of cobalt, a metal whose extraction has significant negative social and environmental effects.
The chemical sector is undergoing deep transformation on its journey to reduce emissions, adopt low-carbon solutions, and maintain competitiveness and profitability. Aiming for carbon neutrality...
