H 2 and O 2 are produced by deforming a ZnO fiber or BaTiO 3 dendrite in water via oxidation-reduction reactions. 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.

Unfortunately, under typical biorefining conditions where liquid water may reach temperatures of 200 °C and pressures of 4,100 kilopascals (597 psi), the tiny metal nanoparticles can agglomerate into much larger particles which are not catalytically active. —Jeffrey Elam.

Nitrogen and phosphorus from agricultural fertilizer have been found to promote excess growth of algae in water bodies—a problem that’s common across North America and in many areas of the world. In some cases, decomposition of algae consumes much of the oxygen in the water. Earlier post.). Christine Costello, W. Landis and H.

They also generate environmental problems from degrading soil to runoff into rivers where they pollute fresh waters and coastal zones. However, there is only one recorded sighting of this bacterium, which grows in toxic environments. Artificial fertilizers are costly and are produced using vast amounts of fossil fuel.
