Taxing carbon emissions would drive innovation and lead to improved energy efficiency, study finds
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 26, 2019 — Proteins are good for building muscle, but their building blocks also might be helpful for building sustainable organic batteries that could someday be a viable substitute for conventional lithium-ion batteries, without their safety and…
SISSA scientists, in collaboration with colleagues at the University of California at Davis, develop
Solar cells that rely on perovskites to harvest sunlight are bound to gain in energy conversion efficiency thanks to an atomic-level understanding of the structure-property relationship of these photovoltaic materials. Researchers from the KAUST Solar Center monitored the impact of…
Water electrolysis could provide high-quality hydrogen gas that can be used in fuel cells directly. However, since noble metals, such as platinum and iridium, are currently needed to initiate such a reaction, the cost is very high. “Obviously, catalysts that…

Scientists from NUST MISIS have turned hogweed into a material for a supercapacitor
Hope has been restored for the rechargeable lithium metal battery – a potential battery powerhouse relegated for decades to the laboratory by its short life expectancy and occasional fiery demise while its rechargeable sibling, the lithium-ion battery, now rakes in…
Bioenergy — growing crops that can be used to generate energy (and possibly refined into chemicals) could be an important tool for mitigating climate change. But bioenergy can be controversial if it takes land out of food production or affects…
A group of researchers led by Skoltech Professor Pavel Troshin studied coordination polymers, a class of compounds with scarcely explored applications in metal-ion batteries, and demonstrated their possible future use in energy storage devices with a high charging/discharging rate and…
As methane concentrations increase in the Earth’s atmosphere, chemical fingerprints point to a probable source: shale oil and gas, according to new Cornell University research published today (14 August) in Biogeosciences , a journal of the European Geosciences Union. The…
