Advanced Energy Materials
Bettina Lotsch: “I am excited by the prospect that our research can actually make a difference”
The materials chemist discusses her research, new innovations in tackling the energy crisis, and how her son helps with “zoom fatigue”.
“Greening” brown ammonia no longer looks like a pipe dream
A recent advance in the Haber-Bosch production of ammonia increases conversion beyond the maximum allowed in the current industrial process.
Improving Li-ion battery performance using 3D printing
Increasing the mass of an electrode reduces power density due to the longer distance that ions and electrons must travel. Electrode designs need a rethink.
New material for solar hydrogen
New photoanodes promise high efficiencies in producing hydrogen in a climate-neutral way.
