Chemists have been searching for efficient catalysts substances that speed up chemical reactions-;to convert methane into methanol. Methane, a major component of abundant natural gas, is sometimes flared off as waste at wells. Methanol is an easily transported liquid fuel and a building block for making other valuable chemicals.
The long-standing challenges to the practical implementation of rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are the electrochemical irreversibility of the Zn anode and degradation of the air cathodes in alkaline electrolyte, which eventually results in poor cycle life and low cell voltage.
Prof. Huigang Zhang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) and Dr Jun Lu of Argonne National Laboratory in the United States discovered a “volcano-shaped” link between polysulfide adsorption and catalytic activity in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries.
A new cluster molecule has been discovered by researchers at Kyoto University’s Institute for Cell-Material Sciences, which might be beneficial as a catalyst.
Excess carbon dioxide emissions have resulted in climate difficulties and greenhouse effects as the industry has evolved during the last century. Scientists are continually attempting to find answers to the difficulties due to greenhouse gases, which are warming the earth’s surface and lower atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is the most common greenhouse gas.
Professor Huigang Zhang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) and Dr Jun Lu of the United States’ Argonne National Laboratory discovered a “volcano-shaped” relationship between polysulfide adsorption and catalytic activity in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries.
The use of theoretical calculations to uncover the thermodynamics and kinetics of catalysis has become crucial.
Chemistry is the study of bond formation (or dissociation) between atoms. The knowledge of how chemical bonds form is, in fact, fundamental to not just all of chemistry but also fields like materials science. However, traditional chemistry has been largely limited to the study of stable compounds.
Trinity College Dublin researchers have created luminescent, self-healing gels with a variety of potential applications ranging from counterfeiting bank notes to next-generation bio-sensing and imaging.
Prof. Tao Chen’s Smart Polymer Materials Group at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) has developed a new fluorescent organohydrogel with shape-memory ability, allowing for photo-writing/photo-erasing and dual encryption of fluorescent information.
