From light to liquid fuel: Experts use sunlight and a copper-based catalyst to turn carbon dioxide into methanol
A team led by Argonne National Laboratory researchers has found a new way to convert carbon dioxide into methanol, an alcohol commonly used as an alternative fuel. In a paper published in the journal Nature Energy, the researchers described how they used sunlight and a copper-based catalyst to trigger carbon dioxide conversion. Using photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide to fuel […]

This fascinating off-grid lamp is powered by photosynthesis
Dutch designer Ermi van Oers has created an off-grid lamp that uses a living plant to produce light. The device, dubbed “Living Light,” uses microorganisms of plant origin to convert the chemical energy that a plant naturally produces during photosynthesis into an electric current. The lamp is fully self-sufficient, meaning it doesn’t have to be plugged […]

Fuel for the future: Chemist develops ammonia fuel cells that “bottle” sunshine and wind
Ammonia may become the foundation of the future of sustainable energy. But until recently, the production of ammonia has been extremely energy-intensive. At the core of each ammonia factory are steel reactors that still use a century-old recipe for making ammonia: the Haber-Bosch process. The recipe entails generating up to 250 atmospheres of pressure to split the chemical bond […]

Energy from an unlikely source: A combination of microbes and graphene could make inexpensive and eco-friendly energy
The quest for renewable energy has led some scientists to think small, that is, on a microscopic scale. A recent study has demonstrated how mixing microbes and a carbon nanomaterial can be used to help create biohybrid materials that can be used in several green energy applications. Led by Pascal Sailaly, a team at the […]

Electricity in unlikely places: Rock surfaces throughout the planet may act as natural solar panels
Rocks might not strike you as a potential source of clean and renewable energy, much less a substitute for solar panels. But Chinese researchers found that some stones sport metallic coats that naturally convert sunlight into electricity via the same process as photosynthetic organisms. The coating contains iron and manganese, two minerals used in photovoltaic […]

Scientists develop new technology that extracts valuable chemicals from biological waste
Swedish researchers are keen on recovering as many resources as possible from waste products. One of their latest research projects promises to come up with a way to free useful chemical compounds from biological waste. In this context, biological waste refers to unwanted organic waste products from the agricultural and food industries, such as manure […]
