Researchers from Forschungszentrum Jülich and the FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences (Jülich Campus) are building and testing a light transport electric vehicle using a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) as a range extender. The team presented the SILENT-F vehicle for the first time on th ...
Researchers report in a paper in Nature Chemistry that the metal-organic framework (MOF) Fe-MOF-74 can convert ethane—a component of natural gas—to ethanol and acetaldehyde. An iron-based metal-organic framework (large structure) can catalyze a reaction that transforms ethane (gra ...
EPFL scientists have devised a solution for the reversible conversion of hydrogen gas into formic acid (a liquid) for easier storage and transport. The simple system is based on two chemical reactions. The first reaction transforms hydrogen into formic acid, a liquid that is easy to store and le ...
Researchers at MIT have developed a method to produce inexpensive catalysts that can replace platinum catalysts in renewable energy technologies such as fuel cells. In a paper in the journal Angewandte Chemie , they describe producing metal-terminated transition-metal carbides (TMCs) exhibit cat ...
