North Carolina State University researchers have developed a new technique for extracting hydrogen gas from liquid carriers. The new technique is faster, less expensive and more energy efficient than previous concepts. Milad Abolhasani, corresponding author of a paper on the new technique and an associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at NC State offered […]

Superconductivity Found In Titanium Oxide
October 5, 2017 | 6 Comments
Researchers at Tokyo Tech have reported superconductivity in two kinds of higher titanium oxides prepared in the form of ultrathin films. With a thickness of around 120 nanometers, these materials reveal properties that are only just beginning to be explored. Many of us are familiar with titanium dioxide (TiO2), a whitener commonly used in sunscreens […]

Lithium Sulfur Batteries Get a New Cathode
May 18, 2017 | Leave a Comment
Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie scientists have fabricated a nanomaterial made from nanoparticles of a titanium oxide compound for lithium sulfur battery cathodes. The titanium oxide, Ti4O7 is characterized by an extremely large surface area, and was tested as a cathode material in lithium sulfur batteries. Presently lithium batteries are one of the best […]

Understanding the Water Splitting Catalyst Titanium Oxide
April 18, 2017 | Leave a Comment
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers have determined that water is only slightly more likely to stay in one piece as it binds to the catalyst surface than it is to form the hydroxyl pairs. When a molecule of water comes in for a landing on the common catalyst titanium oxide, it sometimes breaks up and […]

New Information on Splitting Water with Sunlight
July 5, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Currently titanium oxide-based sunlight energized photo catalysis is the most efficient, yet poorly understood conversion process for hydrogen generation by water splitting using solar energy. Making use of solar to process water to hydrogen is considered a major challenge and goal because it offers a direct sun to fuel solution. Scientists of the KIT Institute […]
