Case Western Reserve University electrochemical engineer Rohan Akolkar-whose pioneering research has applications in nano-material fabrication, energy storage, electrometallurgy and sensors-has been selected as the 2023 winner of an international award from The Electrochemical Society (ECS).
This perspective is led by Prof. Weidong Shi and Prof. Long Zhang. Developing new and more-efficient catalytic ways to control chemical reactivity and selectivity has been a constant quest for chemists in the fields of chemical manufacturing and fundamental research.
In chemistry, a molecule or ion is said to be chiral if it cannot be superposed on to its mirror image by any combination of rotations, translations, or conformational changes. A chiral molecule or ion exists in two forms, called enantiomers, that are mirror images of each other; they are often distinguished as either 'right-handed' or 'left-handed' by their absolute configuration. Enantiomers exhibit similar physical and chemical properties, except when interacting with polarized light and reacting with other chiral compounds, respectively.
The universe is awash in billions of possible chemicals. But even with a bevy of high-tech instruments, scientists have determined the chemical structures of just a small fraction of those compounds, maybe 1 percent.
Rigaku Analytical Devices announces the launch of the CQL Max-ID handheld 1064 nm Raman analyzer, offering features and benefits that maximize chemical threat analysis in safety and security applications.
Hydrogen is considered as the future energy source—at least when it is created in a climate-friendly way. Also, hydrogen can be essential for the creation of active ingredients and other essential substances.
The eutectic structure of metals and ceramics occurs when multiple solid phases solidify from a liquid phase, forming a three-dimensional (3D) pattern through a self-organizing phenomenon.
Researchers have found a faster and more efficient method of producing CoSn(OH)6, a potent catalyst necessary for high-energy lithium-air batteries.
Researchers at Florida State University and the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are helping build the solar cells of tomorrow by examining how a next-generation material can operate efficiently under real-world conditions that include baking temperatures and hours of sunlight.
A study team headed by Prof. Zhiyi Lu from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has suggested a facile and affordable strategy to synthesize a hybrid cathode to acquire high-performance seawater electrolysis for the generation of hydrogen.
