In the war against climate change two promising approaches are being developed for catalytically converting CO2 to value-added chemicals and fuels
Results for "dark energy"
Full Steam Ahead on Clean Water!
Recyclable nanoparticles convert solar energy and water into clean water steam with high efficiency.
A New Solar Cell with a CdS Layer for Improved Efficiency
A new solar cell is described that relies on a thin layer of clean CdS in which a high-field domain extracts holes from p-type emitters without having pn-junctions involved. This design is highly advantageous for increasing the efficiency of the solar cell significantly, by avoiding junction leakage and by increasing the open circuit voltage to its theoretical value approaching the band gap at T = 0 K.
Turning Greenhouse Gas to Valuable Carbonaceous Products in High Yield
A simple and effective system for photocatalytic CO2 reduction is proposed
Patterning Solution – Direct patterning of ZnO thin films
Researchers in Troyes, France have developed a cheap and efficient method of direct patterning ZnO films, using laser interferential lithography to selectively remove ZnO in well-controlled patterns, without the use of a photoresist.
Heatproof roof can cool your house for free
Researchers at the University of Technology in Sydney have developed a new material that can keep roofs cooler than the air above them, even in direct sunlight.
Electrified World
Could we be living without fossil fuels in just 30 years time? Professor Geoff Ozin looks at the likelihood of such a Utopian vision of the future.
Is semiconductor photocatalysis photochemical or thermochemical or both? (and do we care?)
Professor Ozin addresses a fundamental concern in the field of photocatalysis.
Doping graphene boron nitride hetrostructures with light
Researchers have demonstrated a technique whereby the electronic properties of GBN heterostructures can be modified with visible light.
Researchers discover mechanism for reversible nanowire deformation
In situ studies of deformation in metal nanowires have yielded interesting new deformation mechanisms.
