Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.

Engineers have created a more efficient way of converting carbon dioxide into valuable products while simultaneously addressing climate change. Engineers at the University of Cincinnati created a more ...

Scientists from China University of Petroleum have developed new strategies using carbon-based catalysts in CO 2 hydrogenation that make use of the many varied roles that carbon can play in catalytic ...

Electro- and photocatalytic materials are central to enabling sustainable energy conversion processes such as water splitting, CO2 reduction, oxygen ...

Scientists have found a way to turn carbon dioxide and methane, the two most notorious greenhouse gases, into useful chemicals without any expensive catalysts, using only light. Subscribe to our ...

Energy materials can be categorized based on their function—whether for energy storage, conversion, or generation—or by their specific applications and technologies. Here, we explore energy materials ...

An international team of scientists has reached a major milestone in sustainable energy research, developing a highly efficient method for converting methane into ethanol. Mechanism for photocatalytic ...

Tezpur University research shows how organic municipal waste can be converted into clean fuel using pyrolysis.

Terragia Biofuel has raised a $6 million seed round to pursue using a “novel” thermophilic bacteria process to break down cellulosic biomass and convert it into ethanol for biofuels such as ...
