Japanese scientists have developed a new means of cracking water into hydrogen fuel using sunlight. Using a special photocatalyst, this new technology could help usher in cheaper, more abundant, and ...

Inspired by nature's photosynthesis, photocatalysts use light to trigger a chemical reaction that would otherwise only occur at high temperatures or under harsh conditions. For this concept to be ...

Study focuses on fluidized bed design and the structure and performance of various kinds of oxygen carriers. JEONBUK-DO, ...

In the future, we could fuel the world with sunlight and water – using sunlight to derive hydrogen fuel from H2O. Currently, most hydrogen that’s used as feedstock and fuel is derived from natural gas ...

Photosynthetic systems, particularly those involving photosystems I and II (PSI and PSII), are at the forefront of research aimed at harnessing solar energy for various applications, including ...

Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.

Dr Mike McDonagh explains the chemical and physical processes involved in forming lead dioxide and pure lead in lead-acid battery plates.

Traditional techniques of converting fossil fuels for heat and power generation and chemical production increase the carbon ...
