We all see the smoke; can we afford to ignore the fire? The climate doomsday clock is ticking!
Geoffrey Ozin
Professor at the University of Toronto where he currently spearheads the Solar Fuels Cluster.
He is renowned for his work in defining, enabling, and popularizing a chemical approach to nanomaterials for innovative nanotechnology in advanced materials and biomedical science.
Carbon Dioxide Conversion and Corrosion
Mind the gap: Carbon dioxide corrosion problems in a world of carbon dioxide conversion research. Understanding the surface chemistry and electrochemistry and how they affect the overarching systems.
Preventative Care of Our Planet: A Global Renewable Synthetic Fuels Roadmap
The clock is ticking for the development and deployment of renewable synthetic fuels substituting for non-renewable fossil-based oil to enable a sustainable energy resource for the benefit of all people.
Human Intelligence and Experiential Learning in Materials Discovery
Climbing these steps of the materials discovery ladder requires embracing a vast body of experiential knowledge accumulated over years of first-hand experimental and theoretical learning.
Green Steel: Coupling Steel with Methanol Production
A techno-economic analysis for six different carbon dioxide emission reduction scenarios in steel manufacturing, using a steel mill located in Duisburg, Germany as an example, are reported.
Methanol Then and Now
Making methanol for use as a renewable energy carrier.
In Flight and Fight – The Turbulence Carbon Dioxide Causes
We have recently learned that the high levels of carbon dioxide we breathe for extended periods inside planes can cause neurological problems.
Drop-In Solar Fuels from Carbon Dioxide and Water: Performance Indicators
Various approaches for converting CO2 and H2O to liquid hydrocarbons using solar energy involve electro/photo/thermochemical catalytic processes and combinations thereof exist.
Nitrogen Reduction Reactions: Fact or Artifact
Greener catalytic ammonia synthesis requires robust control experiments to eliminate artifacts.
Carbon Dioxide Desalination
Imagine a scenario where CO2 greenhouse gas emissions could be used to desalinate briny water. This would be a creative way of killing two birds with one stone, namely helping to ameliorate global-warming-induced climate change and producing high quality water for agriculture and drinking purposes.
