The world is highly dependent on fossil fuels to power its industry and transportation. These fossil fuels lead to excessive carbon dioxide emission, which contributes to global warming and ocean acidification. One way to ...
A research team led by Prof. Jiang Changlong from the Institute of Solid State, Hefei Institutes of Â鶹ÒùÔºical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has constructed a multi-emitting europium metal organic ...
Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine—the main component of Formica—chemists have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks, a key goal for the United States and ...
The development of highly efficient energy storage devices that can store renewable energy is crucial to a sustainable future. In today's world, solid-state rechargeable lithium ion (Li+) batteries are the state of the art. ...
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are tackling a global water challenge with a unique material designed to target not one, but two toxic, heavy metal pollutants for simultaneous removal.
Some of the economic sectors that are the hardest to decarbonize would benefit from the emergence of substantially more efficient catalysts involved in energy conversion chemical reactions. A breakthrough here might depend ...
Ever since their development in the late 19th century, Schiff bases have been a popular group of organic compounds, owing to their wide variety of desirable properties. The presence of both nitrogen and oxygen in their structure ...
Â鶹ÒùÔºicists at the University of Münster are the first to successfully reveal the dynamic interaction of a class of artificial molecular machines—the so-called molecular shuttles—by using molecular-dynamic simulations. ...
The excessive emission of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, is rapidly raising the average global temperature. Capturing the carbon dioxide and converting it to useful fuels and chemicals can be an ideal way to ...
An international team of researchers, led by scientists at the University of Manchester, has developed a fast and economical method of converting methane, or natural gas, into liquid methanol at ambient temperature and pressure. ...
