A Closer Look at Dendrite Formation in Lithium Ion Batteries
Researchers investigate the mechanism of lithium dendrite formation in lithium ion batteries in situ with electrochemical scanning electron microscopy.
Achieving Gt/y CO2 Utilization with Negative CO2 Emissions
Our global community has been tasked to define and implement a Manhattan style strategy for reducing CO2 emissions at the gigatonne scale. The vision to accomplish this heroic goal is a holistic paradigm, which makes use of all the technologies in the CO2 utilization...
Storing Energy in a Rose
A special structure for storing energy known as a supercapacitor has been constructed in a plant for the first time.
The Role of Theology and Imagination in Climate Ethics
In a focus article recently published within WIREs Climate Change, Clingerman and O’Brien analyze these two very different ways of framing the moral problem of climate change, proposing that each leads to different outcomes for climate ethics and policy.
Materials Research at Wuhan University of Technology
Issue 20/2017 of Advanced Materials brings together a collection of review-type articles to highlight materials research at Wuhan University of Technology.
Use Zinc Oxide Flowers to Create Better Photocatalytic Properties
Researchers have studied low-dimensional nanoscale ZnO building blocks, such as 1D nanorods, 1D nanowires and 2D nanosheets. Recently it was found that mixing these materials with 3D hierarchical ZnO microstructures revealed special optical, electrical and catalytic properties.
Throughfall Drop Size Distributions: A Review and Prospectus for Future Research
Whathappens under a tree, or in the forest, when it rains? The answer to this fundamental question has occupied generations of forest hydrologists, forest ecologists, and biogeochemists.
Flexible Graphene Energy Storage Membrane
An easy, step-by-step filtration forms energy-storing membranes with good mechanical stability, taking the sandwiched form of rGO-TiO2/rGO/rGO-TiO2.
