High-efficiency CO2 consumption makes it easier to lower the atmospheric concentration of CO2 and, as a result, lessen the greenhouse impact.
Summer is in full swing in the U.S., and people are turning up their air conditioners to beat the heat. But the hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants in these and other cooling devices are potent greenhouse gases and major drivers of climate change.
One type of renewable energy that is gaining popularity is wind power. Disposal becomes a problem, too, when it is time to swap out the massive turbine blades that turn wind energy into power.
Scientists at Tokyo Tech are encouraged by the exceptional performance of a new coordination polymer-based photocatalyst for CO2 reduction in the fight against global warming.
Metallic glass is a significantly advanced alloy with potential for numerous engineering uses. In many ways, it resembles a solid form due to its exquisite metal appearance, extreme flexibility, tremendous strength, and tightly packed atomic structure.
This Review paper is published in Science China Chemistry by Dr. Hu-Rong Yao (Fujian Normal University), Dr. Lituo Zheng (Fujian Normal University), Prof. Sen Xin (Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Prof. Yu-Guo Guo (Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences).
If science and nature were to have a baby, it would surely be the zeolite. This special rock, with its porous structure that traps water inside, also traps atoms and molecules that can cause chemical reactions. That's why zeolites are important as catalysts, or substances that speed up chemical reactions without harming themselves.
Combination reactions are used to create complex molecular structures, when two carbon atoms from different hydrocarbons are combined.
While scientists have hoped that rechargeable zinc-manganese dioxide batteries could be developed into a viable alternative for grid storage applications, engineers at the University of Illinois Chicago and their colleagues identified the atomistic mechanism of charge and discharge in such batteries.
Scientists from the Department of Chemistry at Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey, have analyzed lithium batteries using non-linear harmonic analysis and EIS. By comparing experimental measurements and mathematical simulations, the authors have identified harmonic distortions and other critical factors in these devices. Their work has appeared in Electrochimica Acta.
