A research team at Rice University led by James Tour has developed a two-step flash Joule heating-chlorination and oxidation (FJH-ClO) process that rapidly separates lithium and transition metals from spent lithium-ion batteries. The method provides […]
It is set to be a game-changer for CO2 capture: A newly developed pilot plant, the size of a truck container, extracts 50 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere per year—and does so with a […]
Due to the intense global impact of fossil fuel overuse on air quality and climate, the search for advanced clean energy solutions has become critical. Metal–air batteries offer a game-changing alternative, holding the potential to […]
You might not know it from the headlines, but there is some good news about the global fight against climate change.This post was originally published on this site.
Across rural Zambia, small solar home systems and lanterns have transformed daily life. Between 2018 and 2022, more than 1 million small solar devices were sold across the country. These range from tiny solar lanterns […]
In recent years, perovskite has emerged as a promising solution for cheaper, more efficient solar energy. This advanced synthetic material is made from crystals that mimic the naturally occurring crystal perovskite (calcium titanate).This post was […]
A joint research team from The University of Osaka and Daikin Industries, Ltd. has identified a crucial new indicator for designing the advanced lithium-ion batteries. They discovered that the electrolyte lithium-ion chemical potential—a measure of […]
The eight huge cooling towers of the Dukovany power plant overlook a construction site for two more reactors as the Czech Republic pushes ahead with plans to expand its reliance on nuclear energy.This post was […]
World leaders gather for the UN climate summit (COP30) in Belém, Brazil, amid concerns about the slow progress in cutting global carbon emissions. Ten years into the historic Paris climate agreement, we are off track […]
A new, low-cost method for capturing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial facilities relies on a simple physical phenomenon—the same one that causes bubbles to fizz when popping a bottle of Champagne or […]
