Researchers are developing exascale software tools to enable the design of new chemicals and chemical processes for clean energy production.
Climate-neutral hydrogen will be a crucial fuel and raw resource in the future. Water is electrolyzed to produce hydrogen, either indirectly (using a solar panel or wind turbine to provide voltage to the electrolysis cell) or directly (using a photoelectrochemical cell, or PEC cell), where the photoelectrode itself provides the electrical energy for electrolysis.
Case Western Reserve University chemical engineer Rohan Akolkar is leading a research team working to develop a new zero-carbon, electrochemical process to produce iron metal from ore.
Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) in Japan have discovered a compound that uses a chemical reaction to store ammonia, potentially offering a safer and easier way to store this important chemical.
Solid electrolytes with high lithium-ion conductivity can be designed for millimeter-thick battery electrodes by increasing the complexity of their composite superionic crystals, report researchers from Tokyo Tech.
Case Western Reserve University electrochemical engineer Rohan Akolkar-whose pioneering research has applications in nano-material fabrication, energy storage, electrometallurgy and sensors-has been selected as the 2023 winner of an international award from The Electrochemical Society (ECS).
This perspective is led by Prof. Weidong Shi and Prof. Long Zhang. Developing new and more-efficient catalytic ways to control chemical reactivity and selectivity has been a constant quest for chemists in the fields of chemical manufacturing and fundamental research.
In chemistry, a molecule or ion is said to be chiral if it cannot be superposed on to its mirror image by any combination of rotations, translations, or conformational changes. A chiral molecule or ion exists in two forms, called enantiomers, that are mirror images of each other; they are often distinguished as either 'right-handed' or 'left-handed' by their absolute configuration. Enantiomers exhibit similar physical and chemical properties, except when interacting with polarized light and reacting with other chiral compounds, respectively.
The universe is awash in billions of possible chemicals. But even with a bevy of high-tech instruments, scientists have determined the chemical structures of just a small fraction of those compounds, maybe 1 percent.
Rigaku Analytical Devices announces the launch of the CQL Max-ID handheld 1064 nm Raman analyzer, offering features and benefits that maximize chemical threat analysis in safety and security applications.
