Under the environmental concerns such as greenhouse effect and pollution, environment-friendly energy storage applications such as ammonia production, fuel cells, and lithium-air batteries are proposed to substitute fossil resources.
Northwestern Engineering’s Jonathan Rivnay has observed a swell in the development of new organic mixed conductors, referring to polymer materials capable of transporting both ions and electrons, over the past five years.
Yuki Arakawa, Assistant Professor at Toyohashi University of Technology, has headed a research team to successfully liquid-crystallize π-conjugated rod-like molecules including alkylthio groups comprising sulfur.
An invention with the potential to enhance the conductivity of a kind of glass coating used on objects such as solar cells, touch screens, and energy-efficient windows has been made by scientists from the University of Liverpool.
A research team of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has come up with a technology to create environmentally friendly water-borne semiconductor inks using surfactant which is additives that combine substances of diverse properties and a component of soap.
A metamaterial with the potential to twist to the left or to the right when impacted by a solid, straight push has been designed by scientists. According to Corentin Coulais, this chiral response is contrary to the expectations of ordinary solid mechanics.
A group of researchers led by the University of California San Diego have for the first time detected nanoscale variations deep within hybrid perovskite crystals that could offer new understandings into developing economical and high-efficient solar cells.
Water- and dirt-repellent outdoor clothing and sportswear, or anti-fog windshields – there are many daily use products that can gain from very hydrophobic coatings. For such coatings, researchers guided by Dr. Bastian E. Rapp at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have created Fluoropor, a material that is both abrasion-resistant and transparent and that comprises of a fluorinated polymer foam with continuous nano/micro-structure. Fluoropor is described in Nature Scientific Reports.
Chemists have created another catalyst that can selectively trigger a carbon-hydrogen bond, part of a continuing strategy to transform the field of organic synthesis and pave the way for new chemical space.
The heat generated in electronic devices (e.g. computers) is generally wasted. At present, physicists from Bielefeld University have come up with a technique to put the waste heat to good use—they use the heat to produce magnetic signals called as “spin currents.”
