1+ mon, 3+ week ago   (219+ words) Now, researchers from Tohoku University's Institute for Materials Research (IMR) have identified a key factor that could help overcome this challenge. Rather than simply increasing the amount of lithium salt in the electrolyte, the team discovered that there is an…...

2+ mon, 3+ day ago   (138+ words) One issue in this reaction is that formate - an unwanted byproduct - is conventionally produced. To suppress formate production, the research team modulated the Cu(I)/Cu(II) ratio in a Cu nanocluster. Instead of formate, the reaction now selectively produces the desired…...
