Delve into the history of this bioplastic's creation, its potential uses, and the obstacles that still need to be overcome.
Climate-neutral hydrogen will be a crucial fuel and raw resource in the future. Water is electrolyzed to produce hydrogen, either indirectly (using a solar panel or wind turbine to provide voltage to the electrolysis cell) or directly (using a photoelectrochemical cell, or PEC cell), where the photoelectrode itself provides the electrical energy for electrolysis.
A new type of new bioplastic can degrade as quickly as a banana peel in a backyard compost bin, researchers report.
Plastics are being used in almost all aspects of our lives. Such materials are affordable to make and extremely stable.
In a study that could result in a new era in illumination, scientists from Japan and Germany have built eco-friendly light-emitting electrochemical cells with the use of new molecules known as dendrimers integrated with biomass-derived electrolytes and graphene-based electrodes.
