Advances in Lithium-Rich Cathodes Show Promise for Higher Capacity Batteries

“Lithium-rich” cathode, which contains more lithium than the usual cathode, is the new material of interest for developing a better lithium-ion battery. Though this battery has higher energy density, researchers do not have a clear idea about the chemical process involved, particularly about the role of oxygen.

Clariant to Develop Catalysts to Enable Gevo’s Ethanol-to-Olefins Technology

One of the world’s top chemical companies, Clariant has signed an agreement with Gevo to devise a new catalyst for Gevo’s ETO technology. Gevo’s advanced ETO technology utilizes ethanol as a feedstock, producing custom-made combinations of isobutylene, propylene, and hydrogen that are useful standalone molecules, or as feedstocks to produce commodity plastics, diesel fuel, and similar products that would serve as reliable substitutes for their fossil-based equivalent products.

Researchers Propose New Way for Designing Cheaper, More Efficient Carbon Capture Materials

To make "clean" fossil fuel burning a reality, scientists have to remove carbon dioxide from the exhaust gases that arise from natural gas power plants or coal and stock or reuse it. For this, researchers are analyzing unique scrubbing liquids that bind and discharge the gas, but some of them show great potential to solidify into a cold honey consistency while binding carbon dioxide, making them ineffective and costly.
