The Climate 21 project lays out a program for a multilateral, comprehensive, speedy, and effective change to a green energy infrastructure, one that will help mitigate the negative effects of a changing climate.
Geoffrey Ozin
Professor at the University of Toronto where he currently spearheads the Solar Fuels Cluster.
He is renowned for his work in defining, enabling, and popularizing a chemical approach to nanomaterials for innovative nanotechnology in advanced materials and biomedical science.
Chimie douce: Green hydrogen
A low temperature water-splitting protocol uses microwave power in lieu of concentrated solar energy.
Could a human settlement on Mars be sustained with carbon dioxide?
The chemistry of carbon dioxide may not save the human race on Earth, but could enable a new beginning for life on the red planet.
What would a room temperature superconductor mean for the energy sector?
While superconductors are not considered an energy material, the energy savings arising from resistance-free transmission and distribution of electricity are potentially massive when considered on a global scale.
Imagining how “synthetic topology” could reform carbon dioxide catalysis
Solid-state physicists and materials chemists are now in excellent “shape” to expand and accelerate their explorations of the science of topological materials for a wide range of possible applications.
Dual aluminum-nitrogen battery that stores energy and fixes nitrogen
A rechargeable aluminum-nitrogen battery serves the dual purpose of not only storing and retrieving energy, but also being able to fix its nitrogen stream as ammonia.
What is the carbon footprint of carbon capture and utilization?
The amount of carbon dioxide produced by industrial point sources is far larger than the current demand for carbon capture and utilization.
The bricks and mortar of energy storage
Researchers store energy in red bricks, providing a low-cost battery alternative to power a home.
Ion-Pump Photovoltaics
Inspired by nature, researchers create a new kind of photoelectric generator based on a bacterial ion pump.
Schottky emerging from the shadows
A shadow-effect energy generator produces electricity from illumination contrast that arises when the device is partly placed in shadow.
