Developing strategies to enable solar-light driven splitting of water.
Results for "fossil fuels"
From Damaged Woods to Renewable Bioenergy
The opportunities and challenges of salvage logging of biomass after natural disturbances to supply wood-based bioenergy.
The Risks of using Waterbodies to Heat and Cool Infrastructure
Waterbodies such as oceans, lakes, rivers and aquifers represent large reserves of thermal energy, which can be used to heat or cool nearby buildings and infrastructure.
Laying Waste to Oil Spills
An international team have used waste cooking oil from a university cafe to make a cheap, effective material for absorbing oil from seawater.
Carbon Dioxide Desalination
Imagine a scenario where CO2 greenhouse gas emissions could be used to desalinate briny water. This would be a creative way of killing two birds with one stone, namely helping to ameliorate global-warming-induced climate change and producing high quality water for agriculture and drinking purposes.
Cheers: Scientists Turn Beer into Fuel
Chemists at the University of Bristol have made the first steps towards making sustainable petrol using beer as a key ingredient.
Artificial Photosynthesis: A Big Leap for Powering the Globe
The burgeoning development and sustained production of advances in the booming field of solar-to-energy conversion have inspired a Special Issue specifically dedicated to “Artificial Photosynthesis: Mimicking Nature for Renewable Energy Production” – guest editors Wee-Jun Ong, Zhiqun Lin and Kazunari Domen.
Solar Cells: Dual Role of Solar Power Generation and Storage
To make photogalvanic cells a reality in life for simultaneous solar power and storage, some challenges have to be tackled
Photothermal Synergistic Catalysis for Efficient Carbon Dioxide Conversion
A vibrant new catalyst platform for harnessing abundant solar-energy to produce high-value hydrocarbons from a CO2 feedstock is demonstrated.
