A new method was developed by Professors Hong Chen (Southern University of Science and Technology, China), Bing-Jie Ni (University of New South Wales, Australia), and Zongping Shao (Curtin University, Australia) and published in Science Bulletin in an attempt to improve the stability of NiFe-based electrodes in seawater electrolysis.
Engineers at Rice University have created a novel reactor design that has the potential to reduce water pollution and decarbonize the production of ammonia. Despite being essential to maintaining food production for the world's expanding population, ammonia contributes 1.4% of carbon dioxide emissions and 2% of global energy consumption. The study has been published in Nature Catalysis.
While new technologies, including those powered by artificial intelligence, provide innovative solutions to a steadily growing range of problems, these tools are only as good as the data they’re trained on.
Despite the prevalent belief among many subsea vehicle and equipment manufacturers that “you cannot use batteries underwater”, Southwest Electronic Energy (SWE), a subsidiary of Ultralife Corporation, challenges this notion daily with its groundbreaking battery technology.
In an article published in Materials, researchers used molecular dynamics simulations to study the temperature-dependent wear resistance of FeNiCrCoCu high entropy alloy coatings on a Cu matrix, revealing key insights into their structural behavior.
