University at Buffalo chemists have shown that self-assembling molecular traps can be used to capture PFAS -- dangerous pollutants that have contaminated drinking water supplies around the world.
The inner mantles of icy giant planets such as Uranus and Neptune are mainly composed by water, ammonia and methane, while their atmospheres are made of hydrogen and helium. Under high pressures inside giant planets, it is unclear whether the helium can diffuse into the depths and react with the mantle materials.
Dr. Jeong Nam-Jo of Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) Marine Energy Convergence and Integration Research Team developed synthesis technologies of electrode material that can directly synthesize molybdenum disulfide thin films on the electrode current collector surface to contribute improving the efficiency and economic feasibility of salt gradient power generation using reverse electrodialysis.
Before water produced during hydraulic fracturing is disposed of in waterways or reused in agriculture and other industries, chemists at The University of Toledo are zeroing in on water quality and environmental concerns of fracking wastewater to determine if it is safe for reuse.
Jean Comtet, a postdoctoral researcher at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) School of Engineering (STI), has offered the first-ever insight into the behavior of protons when water comes into contact with a solid surface, diving down to the maximum scale of a single proton and single charge.
H2O2 is an important commodity chemical and potential energy carrier, and is widely used for various environmental, medical and household applications.
Researchers from the Muñiz group have published a paper in Angewandte Chemie - International Edition presenting a new metal-free methodology for the photo-catalysed nucleophilic fluorination of aliphatic hydrocarbon bonds.
Solid state batteries are of great interest to the electric vehicle industry. Scientists at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, and Xi'an Jiaotong University, China now present a new way of taking this promising concept closer to large-scale application.
Understanding and predicting how molecules recognize each other are the key issues in the field of supramolecular chemistry and biology, etc., where the non-covalent bindings play an essential role.
Imagine a self-repairing rubber, or super-adhesive made entirely from waste materials.
