Membranes based on a porous two-dimensional selective layer offer the potential to achieve exceptional performance to improve energy efficiency and reduce the cost for carbon capture. So far, separation from two-dimensional pores has exploited differences ...

This study reports the development of a new Ti-Zr-Mn-based AB 2 type hydrogen storage alloys for a two-stage metal hydride hydrogen compressor (MHHC). The hydrogen storage alloys are designed to compress hydrogen from 35 to 865 bar within a temperature dif ...

CO-selective metals (e.g., Ag) on Cu catalysts improve the selec-tivity of multi-carbon (C2+) products in electrochemical CO2 reduc-tion. However, the origin of the improvement remains unclear due to the convolution of tandem and interface effects. Here, A ...

The research on complex hydrides for hydrogen storage was initiated by the discovery of Ti as a hydrogen sorption catalyst in NaAlH4 by Boris Bogdanovic in 1996. A large number of new complex hydride materials in various forms and combinations have been sy ...

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR) has attracted enormous interest because of the energy crisis and climate change; however, more efficient catalysts are required for practical applications. Herein, we present electrospinning as a faci ...

The reversibility of hydrogen sorption in complex hydrides has only been shown unambiguously for NaAlH4 doped with transition metal compounds. Despite a multitude of investigations of the effect of the added catalyst on the hydrogen sorption kinetics of Na ...

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are novel mixtures that exhibit a significant depression in melting points compared to their individual components. This work finds that combining tetrabutylammonium borohydride (TBABH) with ammonia borane (AB) yields new, sta ...

We report the use of two earth abundant molybdenum sulfide-based cocatalysts, Mo(3)S(13)(2-)clusters and 1T-MoS2 nanoparticles (NPs), in combination with the visible-light active metal-organic framework (MOF) MIL-125-NH2 for the photocatalytic generation o ...

The presence of MgB12H12 has often been considered as the major obstacle for the reversible hydrogen storage in Mg(BH4)(2). This communication provides evidence that the MgB12H12 phase (or B12H12 monomer) does not exist in the decomposition products ...

LaNi5-type alloys are commercial materials for the negative electrode in Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. Partial substitution of La by mischmetal (Mm) and of Ni by elements like Co, Al, and Mn significantly improve the cycle stability and high-rate discharge ...

One of the leading approaches to enhancing the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) involves passivating the perovskite surface and grain boundaries with large ammonium salts. Here, we report the synthesis of furan-, thiophene-, and s ...

Mineral-based membranes for high temperature alkaline electrolysis were developed by a phase inversion process with polysulfone as binder. The long-term stability of new mineral fillers: wollastonite, forsterite and barite was assessed by 8000 h-long leach ...

The present relates to a carbon material having a 3D structure and made of graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes, characterized in that the 3D structure consists in that the carbon nanotubes are located with some agglomeration between the graphene oxide laye ...

Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) investigations of molecules at the surface of catalysts exhibit a strong overlap of the adsorption peaks. Therefore, the investigation of the CO2 hydrogenation on a highly active catalyst ...

The mechanism of the capacity degradation of LaNi5-based alloy electrodes was investigated with a special focus on the influence of the alloy and surface composition, as well as the unique structure obtained by gas atomisation. The electrochemical properti ...

The hydrogen sorption pathways of alkali alanates were analyzed and a mechanism for the catalytic hydrogen sorption was developed. Gibbs free energy values of selected intermediate steps were calculated based on experimentally determined thermodynamic data ...

High-energy-density and low-cost calcium (Ca) batteries have been proposed as 'beyond-Li-ion' electrochemical energy storage devices. However, they have seen limited progress due to challenges associated with developing electrolytes showing reductive/oxida ...

LiBH4 has been discussed as a promising hydrogen storage material and as a solid-state electrolyte in lithiumion batteries. It contains 18.5 wt% hydrogen and undergoes a structural phase transition at 381K which is associated with a large increase in rotat ...

Perovskite solar modules have been attracting increasing attention due to their market potential, yet publications concerned with theintrinsic scale-up potential of different perovskite compositions remain relatively scarce. On the other hand, while great ...

Indium-based catalysts exhibit excellent performance for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, yet their nature and chemical evolution under reaction conditions are still elusive, thus hindering an understanding of their reaction mechanism. In this work, near amb ...
