The BIOMAT group at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) has developed an active, biodegradable container for packaging of solid and liquid oily products. This container is made from agro-industrial by-products. It is transparent and can prevent gases like oxygen and ultraviolet light from entering the container. This container can be printed upon and can also be thermally sealed.
Researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University’s Physics Department have found that the electrolytes found in lithium-ion batteries were superhalogens, and that the vast majority of these electrodes were in fact toxic.
Graphene NanoChem is pleased to announce that Platinum Nanochem Sdn Bhd; its wholly-owned subsidiary, has entered into a product development and collaboration agreement (“Agreement”) with Sync R&D Sdn Bhd (“Sync R&D”) on a joint initiative to develop a ‘next generation’, graphene-enhanced lithium-ion battery solution for electric buses under the Electric Bus 1 Malaysia program .
Researchers from China and Sweden used advanced theoretical and experimental investigations to report how a new nano-alloy made up of palladium nano-islands set in tungsten nanoparticles forms a new type of catalyst for highly effective oxygen reduction.
Researchers at Ohio State University have created the world's first solar battery by combining a battery and a solar cell into one hybrid device.
Scientists working at Ångström Laboratory at the Uppsala University, Sweden have developed a new environment-friendly battery prototype using resources from pine resin and alfalfa (lucerne seed) coupled with a smart recycling approach. Their concept could very well become an alternate option to present-day lithium batteries that have its share of environmental issues.
Hexcel will be promoting its latest carbon fibre and composite technologies at Composites Europe 2014, in Stuttgart, Germany, from 7th to 9th October 2014. Hexcel will show how innovations in carbon fibre, prepregs...
Industrial processes and consumption of fossil fuels release greenhouse gases, a major cause of global warming. An advanced membrane engineered by an international research team led by Easan Sivaniah at the Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) of Kyoto University can address this problem by eliminating greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
SEABIOPLAS, an FP7 project is working towards using sustainably grown seaweeds as feed for recyclable plastics. For attaining the EU target of 10% plastics being biodegradable plastics, it is very important to have large-scale production of biomass-based plastics.
This new transparent solar concentrator uses organic molecules to absorb energy from infrared and ultraviolet light, channeling it into photovoltaic cells whilst allowing all visible light to pass through unaffected.
