Under-ice measurements in Qinghai Lake show that dark-driven microbial carbon fixation contributes about 61 percent of total carbon uptake during the frozen season. Subject of Research: Microbial light-dependent and dark-driven inorganic carbon fixation rates and their regulators in ice-covered Qinghai Lake,…
A Gaussian process surrogate model trained on 346 fixed-bed adsorption experiments was coupled with genetic and swarm-based optimization to balance CO2 uptake and energy use for KOH-functionalized oil palm ash.
An alternating magnetic field locally heats ferromagnetic high-entropy alloy catalysts, suppressing carbonate precipitation and extending CO2 electroreduction durability beyond 200 hours. What makes the result potentially significant is its generality. The improved performance and durability persisted not only in alkaline potassium hydroxide…
Carbon nanosphere-encapsulated iron–cobalt catalysts with a 1:2 iron-to-cobalt ratio showed improved CO2 conversion, C2–C4 olefin selectivity and 60-hour stability under atmospheric pressure. News Source: Bethany Barker. (October 28, 2026). Carbon nanosphere shells stabilize iron–cobalt catalysts that convert CO2 into light olefins. Scienmag.
A University of Bath-led study has estimated that the carbon dioxide produced by humans as our bodies turn food into energy rose by 74% between 1985 and 2015, reaching 2.05 billion tonnes a year. Researchers from the University's Centre for Exercise, Nutrition and Metabolism…
A new review in Catal argues that iron-based catalysts, boosted by cobalt, palladium, and engineered supports, are among the most promising routes for converting carbon dioxide directly into higher alcohols. Subject of Research: Iron-based catalysts for the direct hydrogenation of…
A graphene and PDMS-coated carbon cloth evaporator produced up to 9.46 kilograms of freshwater per square meter per hour at 82 percent efficiency under combined solar and electrical heating while resisting salt fouling in laboratory tests.
