• High-tech Metals Germanium and Gallium from the Deep Sea?
  

  Germanium and gallium are two metals that are of great importance for modern high technologies. Both are important raw materials for the semiconductor industry, for fiber optic cables and for photovoltaics. They are thus essential components for shaping electromobility and the energy transition. Usi more

• Easy aluminum nanoparticles for rapid, efficient hydrogen generation from water
  

  Aluminum is a highly reactive metal that can strip oxygen from water molecules to generate hydrogen gas. Its widespread use in products that get wet poses no danger because aluminum instantly reacts with air to acquire a coating of aluminum oxide, which blocks further reactions. For years, researche more

• Using liquid metal to turn motion into electricity – even underwater
  

  Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a soft, stretchable device that converts movement into electricity and works in both dry and wet environments. “Mechanical energy – such as the kinetic energy of wind, waves, body movement and vibrations from motors – is abundant,” says Mic more

Group 3 Elements

The latest in the series of infographics on groups in the periodic table, this one looks at some general information on Group 3. I’m aware that, technically (according to IUPAC) it should be referred to as Group 13. more

The Chemical Elements of a Smartphone

There are an isolated few graphics online that look at elements involved in the manufacture of a smartphone – for example, this ‘Periodic Table of iPhones’ – but there’s actually remarkably little easily accessible information out there that details the specific compounds used for specific purposes more

• Synthesis of ternary group 13/15 chain compounds

  Herein we present the synthesis and characterisation of the seven-membered group 13/15 chain compound HB{N(H)PtBu2BH3}2 (3) obtained from the reaction of tBu2PNH2 (1) with Me2S·BH3. Furthermore, we describe the synthesis of the aluminium and gallium compounds tBu2PN(H)AltBu2N(H)P(H)tBu2 (4) and tBu2 more
