Materials scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered a phenomenon—the direct conversion of mechanical energy to chemical energy—which they termed the piezoelectrochemical (PZEC) effect. They then applied the PZEC effect to generate hydrogen and oxygen via direct water splitting.

The new pretreatment approach uses ammonia (NH 3 ) to reorganize the hydrogen bond network within cellulose, resulting in up to a 5-fold increase in saccharification rates. This, in turn, significantly reduces the tightness of the cellulose network and leaves it more vulnerable to conversion into sugar by fungi-derived cellulolytic enzymes.

Interest in fusion energy is surging today in response to the world’s desperate need for abundant clean power. At least 43 private companies are now pursuing this goal of safely fusing two atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus while releasing energy. They also produce little or no radioactive waste.

Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. It solves the storage problems faced by the electric utility companies in absorbing and adapting to the highly variable power and energy generated by solar and wind. slow charge.

Much effort has recently gone into pathways to produce hydrocarbons with extended carbon chains by the hydrogenation of carbohydrate derivatives. These efforts include the aqueous phase reforming (APR) process, by which sugars are converted to alkanes by hydrogenation with noble metals as catalysts. doi: 10.1039/C4GC01792G.

GVL has more energy than ethanol and could be used on its own or as an additive or precursor to other fuels. The traditional process for converting plant material to GVL requires catalysts made from precious metals and must be done at very high pressures of hydrogen gas, which makes the process cost-prohibitive.
