Finding The Problem Of Making CO2 Back Into Fuel
March 9, 2022 | Leave a Comment
A new Massachusetts Institute of Technology study reveals why some attempts to convert and recycle carbon dioxide into fuel have failed, and offers possible solutions. If researchers could find a way to chemically convert carbon dioxide and recycle it into fuels or other products, they might make the current carbon dioxide cycle a real time […]

University of Cambridge researchers have made tiny ‘skyscrapers’ for communities of bacteria, helping them to generate electricity from just sunlight and water. The researchers used 3D printing to create grids of high-rise ‘nano-housing’ where sun-loving bacteria can grow quickly. Then they were able to extract the bacteria’s waste electrons, left over from photosynthesis, which could […]

New Solid Electrolyte Developed For Sodium Batteries
March 3, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Université de Genève researchers have developed a new material that improves the performance of solid-state sodium batteries. Sodium chemistry is a less dangerous and a more durable alternative to lithium. The future of battery technologies could lie in sodium. Sodium chemistry could be more sustainable than lithium, which currently powers most of our devices and […]

University of Southern California researchers are asking what if surplus renewable energy could be stored as computation instead? Renewable energy has an intermittency problem – the sun provides no power at night, while winds can stop suddenly. Better battery storage is considered key to solving the intermittency problem by storing energy when the wind and […]

A Ruhr-University Bochum research team has visualized the three-dimensional structure of the surface of catalyst nanoparticles at atomic resolution. This structure plays a decisive role in the activity and stability of the particles. The detailed insights were achieved with a combination of atom probe tomography, spectroscopy and electron microscopy. Nanoparticle catalysts can be used, for […]
