Intense focus has been placed on how the world will achieve net-zero by 2050. Perovskite solar cells have shown promise for improving the performance and efficiency of solar energy harvesting, but the environmental risks that arise from the use of toxic lead in them must be properly considered, states a paper published online in the One Earth journal.
Many important industries are making increasing use of flexible sensors for a variety of applications. Now, a paper published in the journal Materials has presented a new method for fabricating a flexible, noncontact sensor using PEDOT:PSS and a printer paper substrate.
A team of researchers from the U.S. National Science Foundation Center for Sustainable Polymers based at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have developed a chemical technology of combined fermentation and chemical refining that can produce petroleum-like liquids from renewable plants.
Recently, a team of researchers has developed extraordinarily high-strength silica-modified carbon aerogels (SCAs) prepared with facile sol-gel polymerization followed by ambient pressure drying and carbonization. The research was published in the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science.
In an article recently published in the open-access journal Light: Science & Applications, researchers constructed a specific GeSn-on-insulator (GeSnOI) stack with the help of stressor layers as dielectric optical claddings. They also demonstrated that GeSnOI is suitable for monolithic integration of planar Group-IV semiconductor lasers on photonic platforms in the near- and mid-infrared wavelength range.
Researchers from Switzerland and China recently developed a process to reuse the extracted carbon dioxide back into a biogas upgrader using an ionic polymer catalysis method and thus obtained epoxides as a by-product. This research has been published in the journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.
Recently, researchers in the Journal of Energy Chemistry have presented their design for a functional separator which includes an ultra-thin layer of gold (Au) nanoparticles coating on a commercial polyolefin separator to control the lithium dendrite growth and stabilize the graphite anode.
Electronic waste is a growing problem, with challenges in recycling and recovering the resources in electronic components, especially printed circuit boards, making it difficult to handle waste at the end of a component&...
A team of researchers from Brazil recently reviewed the extraction of valuable metals from electronic wastes using the chemical leaching process. This study has been published in the Journal of Environmental Chemical Eng...
A group of researchers from Belgium and the Netherlands have analyzed the quantity and quality of plastic packaging, the efficiency of their collection system, and the sorting of those plastic waste factions in the European Union.
