New work looks at recent progress in STM and DFT studies on the electronic structure of reduced rutile titanium dioxide.
Elements of Environmental Chemistry
From Reviews of the First Edition: This splendid, at times humorous, and reasonably priced little book has much to commend it to undergraduate chemists and to other science students. --J. G. Farmer, University of Edinburgh Complex environmental issues are...
Towards Artificial Photosynthesis for Solar Hydrogen Generation
Photosynthesis is considered the "Holy Grail" in the field of sustainable energy generation because it directly converts solar energy into storable fuel using nothing but water and carbon dioxide (CO2). Scientists have long tried to mimic the underlying natural...
Porous Reactors in Use: Destroying Industrial Pollutants
SGL Carbon’s porous reactors can synthesize hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids and destroy pollutants in industrial waste gases.
Artificial Photosynthesis versus Greenhouse Gas
Professor Geoffrey Ozin discusses what he believes may be the largest challenge of the century—the development of an artificial photosynthetic machine.
Plastic from the Wood: Environmentally Friendly Packaging
University of Florida researchers report PAHBs derived from lignin, a by-product of the paper pulping and cellulosic bio-ethanol industries
What can Nanochemistry do for Chemical and Biological Sensing?
So what is next for nanochemical and biochemical sensor research? Shouldn’t we be trying to find the next glass pH electrode, rather than trying to squeeze that extra fraction of a percent out of our tried and tested materials?
Powering the Planet with Energy Nanomaterials?
How can nanomaterials make a difference in the grand challenge: efficient and green global scale production, storage and use of energy? Professor Geoffrey Ozin from the University of Toronto gives his response to this question.
Natural Nanochemistry: Artificial Petrification
Professor Geoffrey Ozin from the University of Toronto discusses the endless possibilities of biomimicry and biotemplating.
Inner Values Trump Exterior
Metal-organic frameworks surpass feasible nanoparticle powders in surface area and come close to the ultimate adsorption limit for solids.
