Energy storage usually brings to mind batteries, capacitors, tanks of hydrogen, or maybe some giant gravity system hauling ...

Sulfones, a class of sulfur-containing compounds, are chemically derived from the selective oxidation of sulfides. While these compounds form the core of the pharmaceuticals, solvents and polymer ...

A study from Rice University, published in PRX Quantum, has found that energy transfers more quickly between molecular sites when it starts in an entangled, delocalized quantum state instead of from a ...

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are widely viewed as a safer and more powerful alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries, but their promise is often limited by unstable interfaces inside the ...

As the global demand for sustainable energy solutions intensifies, the efficiency of devices like metal-air batteries and fuel cells hinges on a critical chemical process: the oxygen reduction ...

The global demand for sustainable energy solutions continues to rise, driven by the need to address fossil fuel depletion and environmental pollution. Rechargeable zinc-air batteries (RZABs) have ...

As a recent leap in green chemistry, scientists have unveiled a new catalyst that enables high yields of sulfones using molecular oxygen -- at close to room temperature. By fine-tuning the structure ...
