They are less costly to procure, have insignificant operating expenses, and require only marginal laboratory setup compared to their larger, floor-standing counterparts. Despite being inherently less ...
During battery (dis)charging, lithium (de)intercalation in electrodes is usually spatially non-uniform across multiple length scales. Such phenomenon is a major impediment to battery performance and ...
The question of whether water can form hydrogen peroxide should be answered by thermodynamics (see C&EN, June 13, 2022, page 3). If a reaction is possible (spontaneous), then the change in the Gibbs ...
At this event, we will be giving two awards: the Ruth Lynden-Bell prize for best PhD thesis to Dr Emanuele Penocchio. the Early Career prize to Dr Sarah Loos. This "Non-equilibrium thermodynamics” ...
A bold claim that the deep ocean floor produces oxygen without any sunlight has drawn sharp scientific pushback, with critics ...
Ellingham diagrams are very powerful phase diagrams to evaluate equilibrium phases under gas-solid reactions. Those phase diagrams were extended to higher pressures to examine stable phases under high ...
Sugar crystals do not melt, but instead decompose in a heat sensitive reaction termed ‘apparent melting’, according to new research. The research, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food ...
What is Gibbs free energy? Josiah Willard Gibbs, an American mathematician, first described Gibbs free energy in the 1870s. According to Gibbs, free energy is the total energy of a system that is ...
