A New Catalyst Makes Hydrogen Fuel From Ammonia

October 11, 2018 | Leave a Comment

Rice University scientists have demonstrated a new catalyst for making clean-burning hydrogen from ammonia. They describe a plasmonic effect that lowers chemical activation barriers, improves efficiency and could be of general use in other catalysts. The study from Rice’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP) has been published in Science describing the new catalytic nanoparticles, which are […]

Enzymes Convert Solar Energy Into Hydrogen

October 10, 2018 | Leave a Comment

Uppsala University researchers have synthesized an artificial enzyme that functions in the metabolism of living cells. These enzymes can utilize the cell’s own energy, and thereby enable hydrogen gas to be produced from solar energy. In a new research paper published in the journal Energy and Environmental Science, researchers at Uppsala University describe how, using […]

A Better Kind Of Lignin Found

October 3, 2018 | Leave a Comment

University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists have shown that a recently-discovered variety of lignin called catechyl lignin (C-lignin) has attributes that could make it well-suited as the starting point for a range of bioproducts. Lignin makes up about a quarter of plant biomass and is the most abundant source of renewable aromatics on Earth. Aromatics are materials […]
