In a paper recently published in the open-access journal Energies, researchers reviewed global industrial wastewater production and investigated the use of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) for the treatment of wastewater as an independent technology enabling substantial global-scale energy savings.
A paper recently published in the journal Biomaterials Advances demonstrated the effectiveness of a novel near-infrared (NIR) photothermal injectable hydrogel with anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation properties in treating skin defects.
Fuel cells rely on water as a proton conduction medium, and hence frequently struggle to operate at temperatures above 100 °C.
Cheap and abundant, sodium is a prime promising candidate for new battery technology. But the limited performance of sodium-ion batteries has hindered their large-scale applications.
In a review recently published in the open-access journal Energies, researchers discussed new research trends regarding proton exchange membrane fuel cells..
Bioethanol production has the potential to replace petrochemical-derived fuels for sectors such as the automotive industry. A new paper appearing in Energies has explored the production of this alternative fuel from bacteria and fungi. Researchers from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Ariel University in Israel have contributed to the paper.
Fuel cells employ platinum as a catalyst. However, platinum degrades unevenly in fuel cells, resulting in still-usable platinum being discarded. To improve fuel cell durability and reduce waste, this research studied the causes of uneven platinum degradation, producing simple, effective strategies to reduce the waste of precious catalyst material and thereby encouraging the use of fuel cells in vehicles.
Writing in ACS Applied Energy Materials, a team of scientists from Chongqing University in China have reported the development of high-performance anion exchange membranes based on PVA. The research aims to overcome one of the main bottlenecks in commercializing these materials for use in fuel cells.
A team of researchers from Italy have authored a new paper considering how to improve the circularity of oil refineries, in particular reusing by-products of the oil industry. Their research has appeared in Energies.
Glucose is the sugar we absorb from the foods we eat. It is the fuel that powers every cell in our bodies. Could glucose also power tomorrow's medical implants
