Researchers examine the potential of photocatalysts to split water
The key to efficient solar-to-chemical energy conversion lies in enabling uniform dispersion and intimate contact of co-catalysts, explain researchers from Shinshu University in Japan. In their report, which was published in Nature Communications, they explained how a single-crystalline barium tantalum oxynitride (BaTaO2N) photocatalyst effectively improved the performance of photoexcited electrons. Photocatalysts a cost-effective solution to splitting water Recent research is exploring […]

Scientists are getting closer to creating artificial photosynthesis with new dual-atom catalyst which will help them harvest solar energy
Researchers from the US and China have developed new ways of harvesting and storing renewable energy through artificial photosynthesis. In their study, they described how synthesizing a new, dual-form catalyst can serve as the platform for artificial photosynthesis — a concept that generates much interest, given how plants can convert energy more efficiently. The current study […]

After lithium-ion batteries, the next step is… sodium-ion batteries?
The world’s running on batteries – lithium-ion batteries, to be precise. Over the past 20 years, global production for lithium has tripled, with lithium-ion batteries found in many of today’s technological devices – from smartphones to pacemakers, and even cars. Despite their long list of real-world applications, lithium-ion batteries are still limited in what they can […]

Teenager builds nuclear reactor in his parents’ spare bedroom
Some teenagers listen to music; some take up a sport that they like; some even spend their time glued to social media and video games – and some, like 14-year-old Jackson Oswalt, build a working nuclear reactor in his family’s spare room. Jackson, a shy teenager from Memphis, is the youngest person to accomplish this […]

Can we find a cleaner way to extract hydrogen from water?
Splitting water to create renewable hydrogen energy looks good on paper – until you realize that making it requires a lot of the “dirty energy” it’s trying to replace, like fossil fuel. In a study published in the American Chemical Society’s ACS Catalysis, researchers from the University of Delaware and Columbia University established a process that can produce greener hydrogen from water. […]

Researchers test various antioxidants to reduce oxidation of biodiesels
Researchers have found that adding antioxidants to biodiesel can significantly increase its performance, particularly, its oxidative stability in the fuel. The procedure, which was published in the Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Science, focused on improving biodiesel, a renewable fuel source, which can reduce hydrocarbon, particulate, and carbon monoxide emissions after it is blended with conventional […]

Chile is sitting on a lithium goldmine, but locals say that exploiting it will come at a terrible environmental cost
The Chilean salt flats are somewhat of a juxtaposition. On the surface, it’s the perfect picture of a life detached from technology, what with its idyllic landscapes and breathtaking nature. However, what lies beneath is an element that powers most devices in the modern world – lithium. That said, the country doesn’t just have lithium – it […]

Could hydrotreated vegetable oil be an efficient fuel for automobiles?
A study that appeared in the journal Agronomy Research evaluated the effects of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) when used together with commercial diesel fuel. Led by researchers from the Latvia University of Life and Science Technologies (formerly known as the Latvia University of Agriculture) and the Department of Automotive Engineering in Latvia, the paper looked at how HVO impacted automobile […]

How fuel made from vegetable oil affects automobile performance
Researchers from Latvia are working on the effects of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) when used together with commercial diesel fuel. The study, which appeared in the journal Agronomy Research, particularly looked at how HVO impacts automobile performance using a chassis dynamometer. Two types of fuel oil were used for the test: One contained hydrogenated vegetable oil, while […]
