3+ day, 14+ hour ago   (872+ words) MIT researchers have now developed an electrochemical approach to promote hydrogen release from ammonia while simultaneously separating and concentrating the hydrogen into a high-purity stream. Their strategy, which uses electricity to speed up the extraction, reduces the temperature and energy…...

5+ day, 12+ hour ago   (238+ words) To investigate the causes and to ensure the long-term protection of buildings intended to stand for generations to come, Ulrik Hans, in collaboration with the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN), provides data on corrosion rates to the ICP Materials…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago   (762+ words) A material often made from agricultural and organic waste could help improve one of the cleaner routes for removing nitrogen from wastewater, according to a recent review published in Biochar. The review focuses on the relationship between biochar and anaerobic…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago   (738+ words) Ammonia is among the most important industrial chemicals in the world. The small molecule has a crucial role in fertilizer production, chemical manufacturing, energy storage, and upcoming decarbonization projects. As industries aim to lower their carbon emissions, the production of…...

2+ week, 4+ day ago   (622+ words) A newly launched German-Chilean initiative, PaNaBat, is attempting to solve these issues.1,2 The project's first phase will run from February 2026 to January 2029 and is coordinated by the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research (Fraunhofer ISC) in Würzburg, with €450,000 in funding from…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (701+ words) Scientists have developed a new catalyst that could make converting carbon dioxide into synthetic fuel more efficient. Using a rapid flame-based production method, the researchers created a nickel-ceria catalyst that converted 85% of CO2 at 400 °C while achieving 98% methane selectivity, outperforming a…...

3+ week, 2+ day ago   (989+ words) The traditional way of making ammonia, in use for more than a century and accounting for the vast majority of production, is the Haber-Bosch process, which relies on fossil fuels to provide the needed heat. Hydrogen used in the process…...
