The synthesis of carbon-based chemicals via the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2) has become the key objective of numerous recent energy research efforts. While these studies have ...

Polymeric membranes are widely used in separation technologies due to their low cost and easily scalable fabrication. However, unlike inorganic nanoporous materials such as metal-organic frameworks ...

Researchers probed the transit of cations across a nanopore membrane for the generation of osmotic energy. The team controlled the passage of cations across the membrane using a voltage applied to a ...

An international research has developed a membrane technology that could significantly reduce the energy required for crude ...

The study, published in Materials Today, details how these membranes could significantly improve energy efficiency and operational stability. Precisely engineered in both pore size and surface ...

Researchers have discovered a new method by which a catalyst can be used to selectively burn one molecule in a mixture of hydrocarbons -- compounds made of hydrogen and carbon atoms. For the first ...

Scaling (the shrinking of the tiny devices in chips such as transistors and memory cells) has never been easy, but making the next generation of advanced logic and memory devices a reality requires ...
