By Dr. Neil Canter, Contributing Editor | TLT Tech Beat May 2023 Placement of platinum atoms in a metal oxide is important in maximizing catalytic activity. HIGHLIGHTS • Positioning of single platinum atoms in certain […]
Introduction Renewable energies and their technologies are the essential components for developing sustainable energy generation for the future. There are different ways technical difficulties are involved in these techniques which involve mechanical failures. The friction […]
Introduction Gears are the mechanical transmission elements that are toothed to transfer the motion and power between any mechanical components. They are widely used in various devices such as automobile parts, clocks, mechanical machines, bicycles, […]
HIGHLIGHTS • The volumetric power density of a redox flow battery was increased through the development of a submillimeter bundled microtubular membrane (SBMT). • By using a zinc iodide redox, the volumetric power density for […]
HIGHLIGHTS • A process has been developed to convert asphaltenes, a byproduct of petroleum refining, to graphene using flash joule heating. • To show the utility of the asphaltene-derived graphene, this material was combined with […]
Energy efficiency is a term used to describe the practice of using less energy to perform a specific task or achieve a particular outcome. It is an essential concept that has become increasingly important in […]
HIGHLIGHTS • A [3] catenane was synthesized that produces unidirectional motion in an electrochemical cell without generating any waste. • The unidirectional motion is achieved through a series of oxidation and reduction reactions. • Synthesis […]
