Researchers discover a new inorganic material with lowest thermal conductivity ever reported
Breakthrough in the control of heat flow at the atomic scale
19-Jul-2021
A collaborative research team, led by the University of Liverpool, has discovered a new inorganic material with the lowest thermal conductivity ever reported. This discovery paves the way for the development of new thermoelectric materials that will be critical for a sustainable society. Reported ...
Heat-Insulating Titanate
Discovering new leads for functional materials guided by artificial intelligence
22-Jun-2021
Searching for lead materials with specific properties, researchers have developed a workflow that incorporates artificial intelligence to guide discovery of a new ceramic structure with particularly low thermal conductivity. As they explain in the journal Angewandte Chemie, the material has an ...
Significant progress in lithium-air battery development
12-May-2021
Research led by the University of Liverpool, in partnership with Johnson Matthey PLC and Loughborough University is making significant progress in the development of stable and practical electrolytes for lithium-oxygen batteries. The lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) battery (or lithium-air battery), ...
Separating gases using flexible molecular sieves
04-Dec-2020
Researchers at the University of Liverpool and the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology have made reported some exciting findings relating to metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of porous materials, which could benefit a wide range of important gas separation ...
New protein nanobioreactor designed to improve sustainable bioenergy production
Reprogramming bacterial protein organelles as a nanoreactor for hydrogen production
04-Nov-2020
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have unlocked new possibilities for the future development of sustainable, clean bioenergy. The study, published in Nature Communications, shows how bacterial protein 'cages' can be reprogrammed as nanoscale bioreactors for hydrogen production. The ...
Cage molecules act as molecular sieves for hydrogen isotope separation
05-Nov-2019
A new hybrid material developed by scientists at the University of Liverpool may bring the dream of carbon-free nuclear fusion power a step closer. The separation of hydrogen's three isotopes (hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium) is of key importance for fusion power technology, but current ...
A highly active organic photocatalyst
05-Oct-2018
Scientists from the University of Liverpool, University College London and East China University of Science and Technology have synthesized a new organic material that can convert water into hydrogen fuel using sunlight. Photocatalytic solar hydrogen production--or water splitting--offers an ...
Superior photocatalysts: covalent, crystalline triazine frameworks
23-Aug-2018
They are especially good photocatalysts for the production of hydrogen by splitting water with solar energy: covalent organic frameworks based on triazines. For this application, the frameworks need to be in a nice regular crystalline form. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, scientists have now ...
The way to better and cheaper transparent conductors
30-Nov-2017
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have made a discovery that could improve the conductivity of a type of glass coating which is used on items such as touch screens, solar cells and energy efficient windows. Coatings are applied to the glass of these items to make them electrically ...
Direct activation of CO2 and CH4 into liquid fuels and chemicals
10-Oct-2017
Researchers from the University of Liverpool have made a significant breakthrough in the direct conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) into liquid fuels and chemicals which could help industry to reduce greenhouse gas emissions whilst producing valuable chemical feedstocks. They ...
