By combining visible light and electrochemistry, researchers have enhanced the conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable ...

The efficient conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2)—one of the main compounds contributing to climate change—into useful fuels ...

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to fuels and chemicals is usually mediated by metal-based catalysts. Now, a carbon electrode modified with an organic molecular catalyst demonstrates ...

The active ingredient in vinegar is acetic acid, a natural chemical and therefore a potential organic alternative to synthetic herbicides. Household vinegar usually contains about 5% acetic acid, but ...

In a study published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, researchers developed an acid/alkali asymmetric electrolyzer for acidic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) coupled with alkaline methanol ...

"It's all very simple, mix-in-a-pot-chemistry." These newly boosted bacteria produce acetic acid, essentially vinegar, from CO2, water and light. They have an efficiency of around 80%, which is ...

In a 1958 patent to Celanese (New York City), inventor Arthur W. Schnizer reported the reaction of acetaldehyde and acetic anhydride with a benzenesulfonic acid catalyst to produce vinyl acetate with ...

A quest for a better way to create amino acids holds promise for sustainable chemical synthesis At a research lab in the city of Hefei, in southeastern China's Anhui province, a team of scientists has ...

A team led by Elke Nevoigt, Professor of Molecular Biotechnology at Jacobs University Bremen, has developed an economically and ecologically attractive process for the production of succinic acid by ...

Volcanoes spewing carbon dioxide 250 million years ago heated the climate so much that extreme El Niño events became the norm, pushing most life on Earth past its limits. The carbonate ...
