In Short : Researchers suggest that the rapid proliferation of solar energy may have reached a “tipping point,” indicating a critical juncture where its adoption and growth have become self-sustaining and widespread. This observation implies that solar energy is gaining momentum and market dynamics are shifting in favor of sustainable energy sources. In Detail : […]
Chung-Ang University Researchers Develop a Low-Cost Catalyst for Green Hydrogen Production – EQ
A stable, reactive, and cost-effective ruthenium catalyst for sustainable hydrogen production through proton exchange membrane water electrolysis Sustainable electrolysis for green hydrogen production is challenging, primarily due to the absence of efficient, low-cost, and stable catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction in acidic solutions. A team of researchers has now developed a ruthenium catalyst by […]
Researchers Propose Coal as a New Medium for Hydrogen Storage – EQ Mag
In a groundbreaking development, researchers at Penn State University have proposed a novel model of hydrogen storage: coal. The unexpected suggestion comes as scientists have long identified coal as a contributor to climate change, not a clean fuel source. Hydrogen, an extremely light and easily dispersed gas, is touted as a fuel of the future […]
Controlling Electric Double Layer Dynamics for Next Generation All-Solid-State Batteries – EQ Mag
Researchers achieve carrier modulation and improved switching response speed control in these batteries Development of all-solid-state batteries is crucial to achieve carbon neutrality. However, their high surface resistance causes these batteries to have low output, limiting their applications. To this end, researchers have employed a novel technique to investigate and modulateelectric double layer dynamics at […]
As more electric vehicles hit the road, our charging habits must change – here’s why – EQ Mag
The race is on to decarbonize road transport and get drivers to switch to electric vehicles (EVs). There were 16.5 million electric vehicles on the world’s roads in 2020 – this is expected to rise to 300 million by 2030. But with these rising numbers, the US grid could struggle without investment and changes in […]
Paper-thin solar cell can turn any surface into a power source – EQ Mag
Researchers develop a scalable fabrication technique to produce ultrathin, lightweight solar cells that can be seamlessly added to any surface. MIT engineers have developed ultralight fabric solar cells that can quickly and easily turn any surface into a power source. These durable, flexible solar cells, which are much thinner than a human hair, are glued […]
Researchers invent anode material to aid ultra-fast charging, ensure long life of lithium batteries – EQ Mag Pro
New Delhi : Soon, you will be able to charge your battery-based gadgets or even electric vehicles at an ultra-fast speed as a team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (IITGN) and the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) has invented a new anode material that enables lithium batteries to […]
Researchers push to make polluters put carbon back in the ground – EQ Mag Pro
As oil and gas companies rake in record profits, a team from Oxford University in the UK is making the case governments should force them to capture and store a share of the emissions from burning their products. Myles Allen, director of the Oxford Net Zero initiative, has been developing the Carbon Takeback Obligation (CBTO) […]
10-min EV quick charging possible? here’s what researchers say – EQ Mag Pro
If some American researchers are to be believed, they have worked out a way to charge a lithium-ion EV battery from nearly dead to 90 per cent in just 10 minutes. In the debate between owning an electric car and a fossil fuel-powered car, almost all the time, the discussion always comes to an end […]
Researchers want Odisha’s Angul to plan transition to green energy – EQ Mag Pro
Angul currently accounts for 12% of India’s and 56% of Odisha’s coal production Researchers have urged policymakers to switch to green energy and economy in Odisha’s Angul, one of India’s largest coal producing districts, before power grade coal reserves are exhausted. The International Forum for Environment, Sustainability and Technology (iFOREST), Delhi-based environmental pressure group, here […]
