A quick, cheap and highly efficient method for producing a water-purifying chemical has been developed by researchers at Cardiff University. The team, from the Cardiff Catalyst Institute, Lehigh ...

Ensuring that water is safe to use and consume can be a real chore, especially for those who live in impoverished areas without access to safe drinking water. Here is where researchers at Stanford ...

A photoelectrochemical device uses sunlight, water, and oxygen to produce hydrogen peroxide efficiently, stably, and at scalable rates without grid electricity. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Hydrogen peroxide ...

Hydrogen peroxide is widely used but energy-intensive to produce. A new machine-learning framework helps find catalysts that can make it from water and electricity, and identifies one with about 90% ...

By fine-tuning the surroundings of single cobalt atoms, researchers reveal how tiny design changes can steer oxygen reactions toward cleaner and more efficient hydrogen peroxide production.

While hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) has numerous applications, its industrial production is costly and energy-intensive due to rare metal catalysts. Zinc is an abundant and historically-used element … ...

Hydrogen production using sunlight energy (solar-water splitting) has gained much attention in the quest to move towards carbon-neutral technologies. If chemical products with applications in the ...
