Hydrogen, a clean fuel, is incredibly dense in energy -- three times more than diesel or gasoline. Its ability to power a sustainable future has been hindered by a lack of high performing catalysts.
The upper half part illustrates electronic properties induced by metallic bonding and covalence in semimetal-platinum based intermetallic compounds. In the bottom half part, the categories and ...
Crystal structures underpin the physical properties of materials, while intermetallic compounds—characterised by well‐defined stoichiometries and ordered arrangements of metallic elements—offer a rich ...
A recently discovered catalyst, can convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful methanol at room temperature and low-pressure conditions. This novel compound, which is thermally and chemically stable in ...
Researchers from the Tokyo Institute of Technology have unveiled the formation mechanisms of various phases, including intermetallic compounds (IMCs), within nickel–tungsten (Ni–W) alloys. Their ...
Hydrogen has the highest energy density (120 MJ/kg) of all known substances, approximately three times more than diesel or gasoline, meaning it could play a pivotal role in sustainable energy systems.
