How Aurelius cuts batteries’ carbon footprint and eliminates noxious gases

Some claim that the end of the Oil Age is within sight. Governments around the world are setting ambitious targets for electric vehicles (EVs) – in the UK, plans have been announced to phase out sales of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040. JP Morgan estimates that electric cars would take 35 per cent of the global...

"Rational Approach to Guest Confinement inside MOF Cavities for Low-Temperature Catalysis" Nature Communications (2019)

Researchers from Materials Chemistry Group have established a rational approach, called Pourbaix Enabled Guest Synthesis (PEGS), to identify the boundary conditions for a desired ship-in-a-bottle synthesis to form guest materials inside nanopores. In collaboration with Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy...

"Bottom-up Formation of Carbon-Based Structures with Multilevel Hierarchy from MOF−Guest Polyhedra." Journal of the American Chemical Society (2018)

Tiesheng Wang (王铁胜) supervised by Dr R. Vasant Kumar, found a simple way to transform metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to carbon-base structures with ordered multilevel hierarchy, termed as “nano-diatom” (named for the morphological similarities with the naturally existing diatomaceous species). The morphology...
