1+ hour, 28+ min ago   (720+ words) From left to right:Prof. Peter Birke, Prof. Peter Middendorf, Cem Özdemir, Petra Olschowski, Prof.Alexander Sauer, Adrian Sonder, Andreas Junt. Universität Stuttgart / Max Kovalenko "Driven by passion and personal risk, they have transformed their company, Sunfire, into a beacon…...

1+ hour, 24+ min ago   (529+ words) Hydrogen has become the centerpiece of ambitious plans to decarbonize heavy industry, long-haul transport, and seasonal energy storage, but the infrastructure needed to move it at scale remains one of the least examined pieces of the puzzle....

1+ hour, 49+ min ago   (397+ words) For decades, the salt in seawater has been the villain of solar hydrogen research. Chloride ions corrode electrodes, compete with water molecules at catalyst surfaces, and generate unwanted chlorine chemistry that poisons reaction pathways. Now, a research team led by…...

2+ hour, 17+ min ago   (55+ words) Every year, the world’s agricultural machinery grinds through mountains of corn cobs, sugarcane bagasse, and hardwood residues, leaving behind streams of hemicellulose that chemists have long dreamed of converting into something more valuable than animal bedding or boiler fuel. Furfural,…...

2+ hour, 47+ min ago   (467+ words) Chemists at Wenzhou Medical University have unveiled an electrochemical strategy that threads deuterium-labeled sulfur groups into enaminone scaffolds in a single cascade, and the resulting molecules show a striking ability to shield living cells from oxidative damage....

6+ hour, 25+ min ago   (668+ words) Hydrogen has long been heralded as the clean fuel of the future, yet one stubborn problem continues to hold it back: how to store and release it safely, cheaply, and on demand. Compressed gas tanks and cryogenic liquids demand heavy…...

1+ day, 13+ hour ago   (27+ words) Hydrogen is a key industrial input for refining petroleum, producing fertilizer, and processing chemicals, as well as a potentially critical source of low-carbon energy. Read more here....

2+ day, 1+ hour ago   (257+ words) The chemical industry requires enormous amounts of hydrogen for a wide range of products and processes. In the final part of pv magazine's Renewables 24/7 series, we head to the world’s largest chemical plant in Ludwigshafen, Germany, BASF and Siemens Energy…...

2+ day, 12+ hour ago   (381+ words) Solar-driven water splitting offers a carbon-neutral path to green hydrogen, but its reliance on freshwater has long raised sustainability concerns. Seawater — covering 97% of Earth’s water — presents an abundant alternative, yet its chloride ions have traditionally been seen as a major…...

2+ day, 8+ hour ago   (437+ words) image: Schematic showing that monolayer amorphous carbon can be used to support efficient hydrogen production. The graphic highlights structural disorder in the carbon layer, the use of quantum-mechanical calculations and machine learning to identify promising structures, and key features such…...
