First Batch Of Belt And Road Power Engineering Program Graduates

Participants of the workshop were granted exclusive access to key power facilities in Hong Kong and China, and left with a deeper understanding of power engineering.

Making Solar Cells Both Stable And Affordable

By incorporating manganese into an all-inorganic perovskite solar cell, scientists have increased its efficiency and stability while keeping manufacturing costs low.

Generating Biofuel From Wheat Straw And Saw Dust

Using a natural bacterium isolated from mushroom crop residue, scientists have developed a way to directly convert plant-based material to butanol.

Hybrid Devices Fully Charge In 30 Seconds

Scientists in South Korea have used liquid electrolytes in combination with nanostructured electrodes to create a fast-charging energy storage device.

Generating Electricity From Temperature Fluctuations

Scientists in Japan have devised a thermoelectric battery that can convert heat into electricity even with a shallow temperature gradient.

Harnessing Sunlight To Generate Hydrogen Fuel

Researchers in Japan have developed a nanostructured catalyst that absorbs sunlight to split water, thus producing hydrogen fuel.

Storing Electricity In Chemical Form

Researchers in Japan have created a device that stores excess electrical energy using glycolic acid, which has a much greater energy capacity than hydrogen, one of the more popular energy-storage chemicals.

Producing Ethylene Using Solar Energy

Scientists in Singapore have developed an artificial photosynthesis device for greener ethylene production.

Extending The Range Of Water-Splitting Light

A team of researchers have produced hydrogen fuel from water using less energetic near-infrared light.
