Clathrates are characterized by a complex cage structure that provides space for guest ions too. Now, for the first time, a team has investigated the suitability of clathrates as catalysts for electrolytic hydrogen production ...
The sustainable production of fuels and value-added chemicals from biomass is a cornerstone of the future bioeconomy. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a platform molecule derived from lignocellulosic biomass, holds immense ...
A Korean research team has successfully developed an advanced electrochemical catalyst. This innovation is expected to lead the next generation of sustainable hydrogen production.
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a toxic and corrosive byproduct of fossil fuel extraction, poses significant environmental and industrial challenges. While the conventional Claus process converts H2S into elemental sulfur, it fails ...
Producing clean hydrogen energy usually involves the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which has the unfortunate drawback of being sluggish and inefficient. Catalysts can fast-track this process, but it is no easy task finding ...
Aluminum (Al) is a material considered susceptible to corrosion, but it could become key to core technology in producing clean hydrogen energy. A POSTECH research team succeeded in dramatically improving the performance of ...
How can we produce clean hydrogen without burning fossil hydrocarbons or other non-renewable energy sources? We can do so through photoelectrochemistry, or artificial photosynthesis, a method that—just like photosynthesis—uses ...
A newly developed pentanuclear iron complex (Fe5-PCz(ClO4)3) can offer an efficient, stable, and cost-effective solution for water oxidation. By electrochemically polymerizing the complex, researchers from the Institute of ...
As the world moves toward sustainable energy, hydrogen will likely play an invaluable role as a clean and versatile fuel. Yet, adoption of hydrogen technologies hinges on overcoming key challenges in electrocatalysis, where ...
Burning fossil fuels has led to a global energy crisis, worsening pollution and climate change. To tackle this problem, we must explore cleaner energy alternatives. One promising solution is the use of water electrolysis ...
