Researchers from Nanyang Technological University demonstrate 3D-printed, surface-modified electrodes for effective water splitting.
Collecting Electrons from Photovoltaic Cells
Perovskite solar cells made on flexible plastic substrates are a crucial development, but how to deposit the electron collecting layer?
Pt/TiO2/CxNy-triazine Upgrades Photocatalysis to Meet Environmental Challenges
By synthesizing a hollow Pt/TiO2/CxNy-triazine nanocomposite, the low activity of TiO2 has been addressed.
Thin-Film Technology on the International Market
The Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) and its industry partner Manz achieved a breakthrough on the Chinese market.
Magnetothermal Heterogeneous Catalytic Reduction of CO2
A chemistry and engineering nano-solution that aims to safeguard Earth against climate change can be imagined metaphorically as a “Life Raft” that will sustain renewable energy systems and living systems “thriving and buoyant” over the next thousand years when fully deployed around the globe.
CNT Nanomotors Put a New Spin on Rotary Motion
Specially designed carbon nanotube nanomotors undergo rotary motion in water, driving external mechanical loads on the nanoscale.
Phase Control of 2D Materials with Reverse Micelles
Supercritical carbon dioxide induced reverse micelles were used to create metallic 1T-phase molybdenum disulfide and tungsten disulfide nanosheets for hydrogen generation.
Versatile Styrene Conversion Catalyst Also Captures CO2
It reads like the plot of an action movie: against all odds, an unassuming catalyst avoids deactivation and captures its target with record effectiveness.
