A further development in atomic force microscopy now makes it possible to simultaneously image the height profile of nanometer-fine structures as well as the electric current and the frictional force ...

The world population is growing, as is energy demand, and we have long been able to see the consequences of climate change caused by the world's consumption of fossil resources. The IEA reports that ...

Electrocatalysis can be defined as the catalysis of an electrode reaction. The electrocatalytic leads to an increase of the standard rate constant of the electrode reaction, resulting in a higher ...

Very soon, we need to become fossil free, not only in the energy sector, but in industry as well. Hydrocarbons or other raw chemicals can be produced in principle using renewable energy and abundant ...

Nanostructured metallic crystals are already used to catalyse energy conversions, such as those that occur in fuel cells. However, to design improved materials, a deeper understanding of nanocrystal ...

Available to watch now, The Electrochemical Society, in partnership with Hiden Analytical and the Royal Society of Chemistry, explores the interfacial structure and properties for oxygen and carbon ...

High-entropy alloys (HEA) have a unique chemical composition that makes them strong, ductile, and resistant to wear-and-tear even at high temperatures. Yet this chemical composition also makes them ...

IOP Publishing’s open access journal JPhys Energy will host a webinar on electrocatalysis. Prof. Tong-Bu Lu, professor of Tianjin University of Technology and editorial board member of JPhys Energy ...

image: Potential/confinement effect can play an important role on electrochemical steps by changing the (electro)chemical potential of electron. As a result, potential-dependent energetics and TS ...

Photosynthesis is the process that enables plants to take sunlight and carbon dioxide and convert it into chemical energy to grow. Crop plants, however, are only about 1% efficient at doing this, ...
