Ammonia (NH3) is an important fertilizer and chemical for human society; however, its production by the traditional Haber-Bosch process consumes substantial fossil fuel energy and produces massive carbon dioxide emissions. ...
Electrocatalysis plays a crucial role in many clean energy conversion technologies, and it is able to couple with renewable energy generation systems such as photovoltaic, wind turbines and hydropower to solve future global ...
A team of researchers led by scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has discovered the mechanisms behind a very effective catalyst for methane dry reforming, a chemical reaction ...
Re-using gold from electronic waste prevents it from being lost to landfill, and using this reclaimed gold for drug manufacture reduces the need to mine new materials. Current catalysts are often made of rare metals, which ...
Among the most common structures relevant to the function of biologically active molecules, natural products and drugs are so-called vicinal diamines—in particular, unsymmetrically constructed diamines. Vicinal diamines ...
Electrochemists at RIKEN have found a way to selectively convert nitrites into one of four other nitrogen-containing compounds using the same catalyst. This could help to replace fossil-fuel-intensive industrial processes ...
Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have demonstrated a new technique, modeled after a metabolic process found in some bacteria, to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into liquid acetate, a key ingredient ...
As green and sustainable development relies on renewable energy, electrocatalysis has become a key technology. Advanced theoretical study is an important means to fundamentally understanding electrocatalytic reactions. Highly ...
Catalysts are of utmost relevance for the production of chemicals and energy storage with hydrogen. Researchers at the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energy (HI ERN) and Friedrich-Alexander-Universität ...
Scientists hope that the electricity generated by renewable energy can be used to convert CO2 into value-added fuels, and the stored energy in these chemicals can be released as electricity through fuel cells or other technologies. ...
