Scientists in Europe are developing a new PFAS-free way to produce green hydrogen using far less of the rare metal iridium.

Despite polyethylene terephthalate (PET) being one of the most widely recycled plastics, only about 20% of used PET bottles ...

Chemists have taken a big step toward splitting hydrogen and oxygen molecules to make pure hydrogen -- without using fossil fuels. Results from pulse radiolysis experiments have laid bare the complete ...

The researchers have gained a complete understanding of the reaction mechanism for a group of water-splitting catalysts, which could aid in producing pure hydrogen without relying on fossil fuels. The ...

Researchers have developed electrochemical methods that break down waste PET plastic, the material in most disposable water ...

I read the article on the American Chemical Society’s new strategy (C&EN, Jan. 13, 2025, page 41) and noticed that one of the new core values is passion for science. One way of encouraging a passion ...

Despite ongoing efforts to curb CO 2 emissions with electric and hybrid vehicles, other forms of transportation remain significant contributors of greenhouse gases. To address this issue, old ...

A stack of giant disks sits on its side in a factory. A person in personal protective equipment inspects it from the side. Alkaline electrolyzers like this one made by McPhy Energy currently boast the ...
