Unconventional nanoalloys could be helpful for renewable energy technologies and beyond

Posted on by Haptic

Metallic alloys at nanometer scale (nanoalloys) have great potentials in electrocatalysis. The interaction among different components in nanoalloys may modify the electronic configurations of active metals and generate synergistic effects, boosting their performance in terms of activity, durability and selectivity in electrocatalytic reactions. Alloying with cheap transition metals is an effective way to reduce the Read more about Unconventional nanoalloys could be helpful for renewable energy technologies and beyond[…]

Climate action: EU failing with commercial deployment of carbon capture and innovative renewables, say Auditors

Posted on by Haptic

EU action to support carbon capture and storage and innovative renewables has not succeeded, according to a new report from the European Court of Auditors. Between 2008 and 2017, ambitious targets were set, but EU support for demonstration projects achieved little in terms of projects delivered and results achieved, say the auditors. The EU needs Read more about Climate action: EU failing with commercial deployment of carbon capture and innovative renewables, say Auditors[…]
