CO2 reduction is a critical part of the research into sustainable fuels. The time-dependent depletion of CO2 using a suitable cathode material as a function of current density is an area of interest for researchers. Half cells are then employed to...
Why is Volcano Surveillance Necessary? Volcanoes pose a danger to life in many parts of the world. Eruptions occur relatively frequently, presenting risks to both health and infrastructure. The analysis of gas, liquid, and soil samples offers vital information...
The Basics of Li-Ion Batteries There are three components of a lithium-ion battery: the cathode, the anode, and the electrolyte. Cathodes are usually the most expensive and heaviest element of the battery meaning that cathode studies are high priority. The cathode is...
The Beginning of the Lithium Battery For many years, the only suitable battery for portable equipment, such as mobile computing and wireless communications, was nickel-cadmium. Pioneer work on the lithium battery began in 1912. However, it wasn’t until the 1970s when...
Fermenters are used to accelerate the metabolic reactions within heterogeneous systems and promote population growth of desirable fungi and bacterial cells. This is typically conducted by introducing enzymes or other microorganisms to organic substrates in a...
What is a Fuel Cell? Fuel cells generate electricity through an electrochemical reaction rather than combustion. Inside a fuel cell, hydrogen and oxygen are combined to generate heat, water and electricity. They represent a clean, efficient, dependable, and quiet...
