Professor Feng Zhang from Guangzhou Medical University, Professor Hao Pei from East China Normal University, and co-workers report a flexible electrochemical sensor based on a 3D-printable hydrogel. The device could be used as a glucose sensor, demonstrating its potential in biosensing applications.
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.
Researchers from the Suzhou Key Laboratory of Green Chemical Engineering, Soochow University, and from the State Key Laboratory of Molecular Engineering of Polymers, Fudan University, develop a one-step, solvent-free method to prepare a high-performance heterogeneous catalyst. The cobalt-based catalyst is highly dispersible in water and is effective for the tandem sodium borohydride dehydrogenation and nitrobenzene hydrogenation at room temperature.
Highly efficient, red-emissive carbon quantum dots (R-CQDs) with a quantum yield of 53% are prepared and a CQD-phosphors-based warm white-light-emitting diode (WLED) is realized for the first time.
Musings on “solar fuels machines” for an efficient, scalable and cost-effective way to convert water and carbon dioxide into value added molecular energy carriers.
The argument for making synthetic fuel from CO2 using renewable electricity in an increasingly electrified world is by now a familiar one. It hinges on the unlikely scenario that lithium ion batteries will never power the massive fleet of large-volume transportation...
Our global community has been tasked to define and implement a Manhattan style strategy for reducing CO2 emissions at the gigatonne scale. The vision to accomplish this heroic goal is a holistic paradigm, which makes use of all the technologies in the CO2 utilization...
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.
Supercritical carbon dioxide induced reverse micelles were used to create metallic 1T-phase molybdenum disulfide and tungsten disulfide nanosheets for hydrogen generation.
In the war against climate change two promising approaches are being developed for catalytically converting CO2 to value-added chemicals and fuels
