Renewable Fuels from Green Refineries
Consortium of Science and Industry Develops Processes and Demand Scenarios for the Mass Production of Synthetic Fuels
30-May-2023
Synthetic fuels from renewable energy sources are needed to reach the climate goals in the transport sector. So-called refuels promise to reduce CO2 emissions by 90 percent compared to conventional fuels. To cover future needs of heavy-duty vehicles, airplanes, and ships and provide chemical ...
Battery recycling: 70 percent of lithium recovered
Inexpensive and environmentally compatible mechanochemical recycling process developed
29-Mar-2023
Recover up to 70 percent of lithium from battery waste without the need for corrosive chemicals, high temperatures, or prior sorting of materials: This is made possible by a recycling method developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) that combines mechanical processes and chemical ...
Blind spots in the monitoring of plastic waste
KIT researchers and partners suspect that much more plastic is transported in flowing waters than previously assumed and are developing new modelling approaches
04-Nov-2022
Whether in drinking water, food or even in the air: plastic is a global problem - and the full extent of this pollution may go beyond of what we know yet. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), together with partners from the Netherlands and Australia, have reviewed ...
Joining forces: fast-as-lightning 3D microprinting with two lasers
Micrometer-sized Structures in Just the Blink of an Eye
18-Oct-2022
Printing objects from plastic precisely, quickly, and inexpensively is the goal of many 3D printing processes. However, speed and high resolution remain a technological challenge. A research team from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Heidelberg University, and the Queensland ...
40-million-euro sustainable kerosene research project CARE-O-SENE receives funding
German-South African Consortium starts working to optimise the production of sustainable kerosene
13-Oct-2022
The international research project CARE-O-SENE (Catalyst Research for Sustainable Kerosene) was granted 30 million euros in funding by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Additionally, the industrial consortium partners contribute 10 million euros. The aim of the project ...
‘E-nose’ sniffs out mixtures of volatile organic compounds
Accurately distinguish xylene isomer mixtures
13-Jun-2022
As paint thinner, ink and adhesives dry, they can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can negatively impact health. Typically, one of those VOCs is xylene, which exists as three isomers with the same elements but slightly different arrangements. Because the isomers are so similar, ...
Light from Rare-earth Molecules
Novel Material with Promising Properties for Quantum Computers and Networks Discovered
15-Mar-2022
Light can be used to distribute quantum information rapidly, efficiently, and in a secure, tap-proof manner. Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Strasbourg University, Chimie ParisTech and the French national research center CNRS have now achieved major progress in the ...
Neutrinos are lighter than 0.8 electron volts
KATRIN experiment with new world record for precision measurements
16-Feb-2022
The international KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino Experiment (KATRIN), located at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), has broken an important "barrier" in neutrino physics which is relevant for both particle physics and cosmology. Based on data published in the prestigious journal Nature Physics, ...
3D Laser Nanoprinters Become Compact
Researchers Show How 3-dimensional Nanostructures Can Be Printed Using Compact Desktop Devices
01-Dec-2021
Lasers in conventional laser printers for paper printouts are very small. 3D laser printers for 3-dimensional microstructures and nanostructures, by contrast, have required big and expensive laser systems so far. Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Heidelberg University ...
BASF and KIT join forces in public funded project to investigate opportunities of multilayered anodes for lithium-ion batteries
Knowledge transfer to foster coating technology in academia and to meet global customer demands
21-Oct-2021
Electromobility is globally recognized as a decisive factor for achieving climate neutrality. High-performance lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles play a key role to reach these goals. BASF is a leading player in the battery materials market focusing on high-performance cathode active ...
