DEKALB, Ill. A new study of convenience store shoppers by Northern Illinois University and University of Wisconsin-Whitewater found that c-stores should offer more amenities such as omnichannel shopping, pay by scan, delivery, and buy online, pick up in-store. Doing so would result in better customer satisfaction and more repeat visits, according to the researchers.
The study, conducted by Numerator Inc., polled 323 convenience store shoppers to uncover the reasons for overall trip declines over the past five years, and to “add to the retailing literature of what convenience stores can do to overcome these challenges.”
Another finding that should interest c-store retailers is to whom they should target their advertising. Generation X is the predominant shopper at c-stores today, followed by millennials. “This suggests that Gen Z should be a key target market for c-stores going forward,” according to the report. “Advertising to the millenn
PNNL-led team designs highly active cobalt-based PGM-free catalyst for fuel cells
A multi-institutional research team led by materials scientists from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has designed a highly active and durable catalyst that doesn’t rely on costly platinum group metals (PGM) to spur the necessary chemical reaction.
The new catalyst contains cobalt interspersed with nitrogen and carbon. When compared to a similarly structured catalyst made from iron another promising, well-studied platinum substitute the team found that the cobalt catalyst achieved a similar reaction but with four times the durability. The research is published in
Nature Catalysis.
The development of catalysts free of platinum-group metals and with both a high activity and durability for the oxygen reduction reaction in proton exchange membrane fuel cells is a grand challenge. Here we report an atomically dispersed Co and N co-doped carbon (Co–N–C) catalyst with a high catalytic ox
