Stuart Licht ( earlier post ) have developed a new process that transforms CO 2 into a controlled selection of nanotubes (CNTs) via molten electrolysis; they call the process C2CNT (CO2 into carbon nanotubes). Molten carbonate electrosynthesized boron-doped CNTs exhibit high electrical conductivity. Licht (2017).

To improve the conductivity of the electrode, the team coated a thin layer of carbon is coated on the Ti 4 O 7 surface without destroying its porous structure. First, a template was made of a matrix of tiny polymer spheres that have porous surfaces. The highly porous structure remains intact after this process. —Prof.

Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells require precise temperature and moisture controls to be at their best. Specifically, the researchers used synchrotron-based micro X‐ray computed tomography (CT) to visualize and to quantify the water distribution within gas diffusion layers subject to a thermal gradient.

This proposal aims to solve these problems by converting organic waste into chemicals with widespread use in polymer and transportation industries. Reaction 35 is applying its platform technology to produce olefins from the nation’s enormous reserves of shale gas in a highly efficient, low cost and low carbon footprint manner.

Shipping requires bespoke low-carbon fuel solutions which can make the leap from the laboratory to the global shipping fleet. Lignin is a structural bio-polymer which contributes to the rigidity of plants. The marine sector has very different fuel requirements than automotive or aviation.

Startup Mattershift says it has achieved a breakthrough in making carbon nanotube (CNT) membranes at large scale. The paper is a characterization study of commercial prototype carbon nanotube (CNT) membranes consisting of sub–1.27-nm-diameter A) SEM image of the CNT membrane surface, showing CNT tips emerging from the polymer.

Natural gas producers want to draw all the methane they can from a well while sequestering as much carbon dioxide as possible; filters optimize either carbon capture or methane flow, but no single filter will do both. That resulted in the optimum combination of carbon dioxide uptake and methane selectivity.

The first hydrogen TTO is focused on durable, high activity electrocatalyst with low platinum content and low cost for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell applications. Conventional polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology requires high content of platinum electrocatalyst, which raises manufacturing costs.

Theoretically, cars operating on higher ethanol blends than the design point could emit greater concentrations of pollutants in exhaust gas. In the cylinder where combustion takes place, the fuel evaporates before it is burned, and this evaporation helps cool off the air/fuel mixture and exhaust gas.

Their outer skin is made from aluminum-coated polymer and this in turn brings weight advantages. Market launch is scheduled to begin in 2017. The company hopes to launch AWC in 2017. Because the exhaust system transports only water, it can be made of lightweight polymer. There will also be wireless options.
