A joint research team from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and collaborators have developed a stable artificial photocatalytic system that is more efficient than natural photosynthesis. The new system mimics a natural chloroplast to convert carbon dioxide in water into methane, very efficiently using light.

Sunfire and Fraunhofer IFAM , together with Canadian materials partner Ionomr Innovations , are launching the “Integrate” research project to apply alkaline AEM electrolysis technology on an industrial scale. Technologies such as pressurized alkaline or high-temperature electrolysis are already being installed in industrial environments.

A cheaper, cleaner and more sustainable way of making hydrogen fuel from water using sunlight is closer with new research from the University of Bath’s Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies. The Bath team instead used commercially available graphite, which is very cheap and much more sustainable than indium.

Existing water-splitting methods rely on highly purified water—a precious resource and costly to produce. Hongjie Dai and his research lab at Stanford University have developed a prototype that can generate hydrogen fuel from seawater. Image credit: Courtesy of H.

Aluminum, in solution with water, affects the biosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere and anthrosphere, the scientists said in their report. But for a century or more, and despite the multitude of products based on it, there has been no effective way to explore the enormous variety and complexity of compounds that aluminum forms in water.

Engineers at Iowa State University have developed a hybrid process that combines bio- and electrocatalysis to convert glucose into bio-based unsaturated nylon-6,6—which has the advantage of an extra double bond in its backbone that can be used to tailor the polymer’s properties. Their study is published in the 12 Feb. Suastegui et al.
