Corn Starch Electrolyte Boosted Tenfold with Plasticizer and Graphene Oxide
8+ hour, 1+ min ago (80+ words) A team of researchers at Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad has shown that an ordinary kitchen staple, corn starch, can be transformed into a surprisingly capable solid electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries when it is combined with the right additives. In work…...
Spent Coffee Grounds Turned Into Carbon Dots That Boost Antibacterial Food
10+ hour, 52+ min ago (524+ words) Every year, the world brews billions of cups of coffee, and almost all of the spent grounds end up in landfills, where they slowly decompose and release methane....
Weaker Water Bonds Boost Hydrogen Evolution on Titanium Dioxide
11+ hour, 25+ min ago (351+ words) Hydrogen produced by splitting water with sunlight has long been one of the most attractive goals in sustainable energy research, offering a clean fuel whose only byproduct when burned is water. Photocatalytic water splitting, in which semiconductor materials absorb light…...
Hollow Alumina Spheres Deliver Complete Conversion in Greener Diethyl
12+ hour, 34+ min ago (88+ words) Chemists at Shihezi University in China have shown that the shape of a catalyst can matter as much as its chemistry, reporting that hollow spherical alumina particles outperform conventional forms of the same material in a key industrial reaction. In…...
Engineered Bacterial Teams Turn Sunlight and CO2 Into 1-Butanol
13+ hour, 7+ min ago (350+ words) Scientists at Uppsala University have taken a significant step toward a long-sought goal in industrial biotechnology: using sunlight and carbon dioxide to feed engineered microbes that churn out valuable chemicals. In a study published in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, Stamatina…...
Atomic Swap in Two-Dimensional Nitrides Unlocks Five New Water-Splitting
13+ hour, 7+ min ago (506+ words) A single-atom substitution could transform one of the most exciting families of two-dimensional materials from a laboratory curiosity into a working engine for solar fuels....
Flower-Powered Carbon Doped With Manganese Boosts Supercapacitors and Solar
13+ hour, 53+ min ago (55+ words) Researchers in India have transformed the delicate purple-and-white flowers of Bauhinia variegata, the mountain ebony tree, into a high-performance carbon electrode material that works in two very different clean-energy devices at once. In a study published in the Springer journal…...
Discarded Lithium-Ion Batteries Brought Back to Life With Thermochemical
14+ hour, 30+ min ago (641+ words) Every electric vehicle that rolls off an assembly line today carries within it a promise of cleaner transportation and, eventually, a difficult waste problem. Lithium-ion batteries degrade with use, and when they can no longer hold enough charge to propel…...
Radical Building Blocks Yield Porous Organic Semiconductors That Need No
16+ hour, 16+ min ago (628+ words) Semiconductors are the beating heart of modern technology, yet the organic varieties that promise flexible, lightweight and cheap alternatives to silicon have long been haunted by an inconvenient paradox. To conduct electricity, many organic frameworks need to be treated with…...
