SrTiO3 is attractive owing to various other reasons too, such as its potential applications in resistive switches and fuel cell components. The versatile nature of SrTiO3 has motivated physicists to study its various materials properties in detail. But to dig deeper into…
"This research is not just about replacing platinum," Li explains. "It's about understanding how electronic properties at the atomic level dictate catalytic efficiency. That knowledge allows us to design better, more accessible materials for real-world applications." Looking ahead, the team…
Vacancies, especially anion vacancies within the three-dimensional structure of catalysts, function as active sites. These active sites are energetically involved in the process of catalysis. However, anion vacancies alone are not effective without the presence of transition metal sites. This…
We've all heard the story: biochar cleans water by adsorbing pollutants -- trapping them like a sponge. Or, in fancier setups, it acts as a catalyst to help oxidants like hydrogen peroxide break down toxins. But Dr. Gao's team asked a…
The engineers drastically cut precious metal usage to lower costs. The organic solar device sets a world record by converting sunlight to clean hydrogen at 7.9% efficiency. A new hybrid protective layer prevents corrosion. To cut costs, the team drastically reduced…
Fortunately, a research team from Tokyo Institute of Technology and Osaka Metropolitan University, has found a solution to this issue. As reported in their latest study, which was published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, they devised a…
A copper nanowire catalyst coated with a covalent organic framework achieved 77 percent Faradaic efficiency for multi-carbon products in CO2 electroreduction, outperforming bare copper nanowires. Subject of Research: Hybrid copper nanowire and covalent organic framework catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction to multi-carbon products…
The physics behind their approach involves light-to-thermal energy conversion, where the SSGs absorb solar energy, convert it to heat, and evaporate the water/seawater. The SSG’s porous structure helps improve self-cleaning by removing accumulated salt to ensure sustained desalination performance.
Researchers have developed a cheaper and more energy-efficient way to make hydrogen directly from seawater, in a critical step towards a truly viable green hydrogen industry. The new method from RMIT University researchers splits the seawater directly into hydrogen and…
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.
Hydrogen made, stored and used: water electrolysis and electrolyzers, green hydrogen production, fuel cells, and ammonia and other hydrogen carriers.
