🗝 Researchers from the VSB - Technical University of Ostrava have participated in a breakthrough discovery regarding the photoluminescent properties of carbon dots (CDs), published in the prestigious #SmallJournal. Scientists from IT4Innovations & CEET Nanotechnology Centre, together with colleagues from the Czech Advanced Technology and Research Institute, found that after irradiation with light, magnetically active polaron states are formed in carbon dots, which can then be used for light-induced hydrogen peroxide production.

In this work, we've harnessed a fast, eco-friendly, and unconventional approach to crafting nanomaterials in this endeavor. For that, we combined the catalytic prowess of metal nanoparticles with the exceptional qualities of ionic liquids. 🧪✨ Our publication unveils a promising, non-conventional strategy that opens up new horizons for designing robust and efficient systems to transform CO2 into valuable C1 feedstocks, such as formic acid. This recent publication in Applied CatalysisB: Environmental, showcases our unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of scientific innovation for a sustainable future. 📚🌿 Let's continue to drive change and contribute to a greener and more sustainable world! 🌎💚   #FuelProcessing #catalyticupgrading #hydrogen #chemicals #CO2reduction #sputtering #ionicliquids #innovation #highimpactfactors #sustainability #UFRGS #UFG #ProfessorIrfanQadir To free access, please use the link: https://lnkd.in/exPb4uRB

This study, published in Ionics, develops a biomass-derived carbon material using cellulose for electrochemical sensors' electrode substrate. By pyrolysis and activation, porous carbon with exceptional sensing capabilities was created. The sensor effectively differentiated phenolic pollutants HQ and CC using cyclic voltammetry and other detection methods. The sensor's wide linear range and low detection limits for HQ and CC demonstrated its high sensitivity and broad detection range. This research, from our group, highlights the potential of biomass-derived carbon sources in environmental water analysis and opens new possibilities for cellulose-based materials in sensor technology, promoting advancements in environmental monitoring. #Biomass #CarbonMaterials #ElectrochemicalSensors #EnvironmentalMonitoring #Innovation #ResearchPublication #Ionics https://lnkd.in/dyPScXeJ

A paper published in Hydrogen discusses ways to use hydrogen as a cleaner and more sustainable energy source as an alternative to carbon-based energy. As mentioned in Forbes, the paper focuses on recent advances in using nanomaterials to improve the production of hydrogen, with a particular emphasis on controlling the physical and chemical features of these materials at a sub-nano or atomic scale. The goal is to optimise performance and design efficient nanocatalysts for hydrogen production.

We love to sit down and talk science. Today, we get to highlight Jesus Adrian Diaz Real and the team at CIDETEQ, SC: SRINIVAS GODAVARTHI, goldie oza, Jessica Cárdenas Martínez, Arlete Vazquez, Darshana Rajput and Ariadna García, who are researching clean hydrogen production from sunlight. We were fortunate enough to interview an incredibly busy Dr. Diaz-Real and discuss his research in Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production without the need for traditional platinum group elements, his perspective on the industry's future, and his advice for the next generation. Three things beyond his research application we found inspiring: His love for his students and the work he is doing His passion to make a difference in the world His humble easy, going nature After hearing about his work and how G2V assisted him, we knew that a world of great minds like his, given the right instruments to expand the scientific body, would guarantee a promising tomorrow. Here are a few words of wisdom he has to pass along to the next generation of scientists: “You have to be fascinated by what you do. Without that, you won’t be able to stay right at the edge of knowledge. Generating new knowledge costs a lot, but simply being fascinated by the idea that you can do it helps make everything worth it.” -Dr. Jesus Adrian Diaz Real If you are interested in hydrogen production, photochemistry, or a greener tomorrow, please check out his article! https://lnkd.in/gwi3D8Kr #Chemistry #Hydrogen #Innovation #Science

Graphene discovery could help generate cheaper and 'greener' hydrogen | Researchers from The University of Manchester and the University of Warwick have finally solved the long-standing puzzle of why graphene is so much more permeable to protons than expected by theory. The discovery has the potential to accelerate the hydrogen economy. Expensive catalysts and membranes, sometimes with significant environmental footprint, currently used to generate and utilise hydrogen could be replaced with more sustainable 2D crystals, reducing carbon emissions, and contributing to Net Zero through the generation of green hydrogen. #hydrogen #greenhydrogen #graphene #materials #catalysts
