CO₂ is not only the "culprit" behind global warming but can also be transformed into clean energy methane! Recently, a joint team from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Peking University, and McGill University in Canada published a groundbreaking study in
In the context of global efforts to limit temperature rise to within 1.5°C, achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions has become a crucial goal for nations worldwide. Currently, over 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the extraction, refin
In the context of global efforts to combat climate change and promote energy transition, the development of clean energy is particularly urgent. Hydrogen, as a zero-carbon energy carrier, is widely used in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and energy storage sy
Traditional chemical reactions primarily activate reactants through heating, providing energy to overcome thermodynamic barriers and facilitating the conversion of reactants into products. In a thermal catalytic system, reactant molecules are adsorbed and
Photocatalytic technology has made significant progress over more than 50 years of development and has been widely applied in various fields, including photocatalytic hydrogen production, photocatalytic CO₂ reduction, and photocatalytic pollutant degradat
The team led by Academician Tang Junwang from Tsinghua University, in collaboration with Professor Huang Weixin's team from the University of Science and Technology of China, Academician C. Richard A. Catlow's team from Cardiff University, and Professor
The Incident Photon-to-Current Efficiency (IPCE) is a key characterization parameter in photoelectrocatalysis and photovoltaic research. It is used to evaluate a material's ability to convert incident photons into photocurrent under illumination at diffe
Electrode polarization refers to the phenomenon where the electrode potential deviates from its equilibrium potential, typically caused by an external current or electric field. This phenomenon reflects the combined effects of electrode reaction kinetics
Recently, a collaborative research team led by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine member and Rice University Professor Naomi J. Halas and Professor Peter Nordlander published their latest findings in the journal Nature Cataly
1On November 8, 2024, the **Energy Law of the People’s Republic of China** (hereinafter referred to as the **Energy Law**) was officially passed and will come into effect on **January 1, 2025**. This foundational and overarching legislation, which has bee
Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), as a renewable energy carrier and a clean green oxidant, is widely applied in fine chemicals, biopharmaceuticals, environmental remediation, and other fields[1-3]. The reaction of H₂O₂ only produces O₂ and H₂O as by-products, cau
Plastic, as one of the greatest scientific discoveries of the 20th century, is celebrated as a symbol of modern industry. Due to its excellent chemical stability and durability, plastic has found widespread application in various fields. However, because
