Ultrathin films achieve record hydrogen-nitrogen separation

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of materials that contain nano-sized pores. These pores give MOFs record-breaking internal surface areas, which make them extremely versatile for a number of applications: separating ...

Turning mixed plastic into useful chemicals

Almost 80% of plastic in the waste stream ends up in landfills or accumulates in the environment. Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists have developed a technology that converts a conventionally unrecyclable mixture of ...

Innovative catalyst advances acidic water splitting technology

Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with collaborators, have made a significant breakthrough in electrocatalytic water splitting, a key technology for converting ...
