Catalytic combo converts CO2 to solid carbon nanofibers
From DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory 12/01/24 Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Columbia University have developed a way to convert carbon dioxide (CO2), a potent greenhouse gas, into carbon nanofibers, materials with a wide range of unique properties and many potential long-term uses. Their strategy uses tandem electrochemical and thermochemical […]
New catalyst could provide liquid hydrogen fuel of the future
From Lund University 07/11/23 Researchers at Lund University in Sweden are investigating a car fuel comprised of a liquid that is converted to hydrogen by a solid catalyst. The used liquid is then emptied from the tank and charged with hydrogen, after which it can be used again in a circular system that is free […]
Novel catalyst for green production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals
From National University of Singapore 01/11/23 A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) led by Associate Professor Lu Jiong from the Department of Chemistry under the NUS Faculty of Science, together with their international collaborators, have developed a new class of catalysts – known as heterogeneous geminal atom catalysts (GACs) – […]
