• How new materials increase the efficiency of direct ethanol fuel cells
  

  A group from Brazil and an HZB team have investigated a novel composite membrane for ethanol fuel cells. It consists of the polymer Nafion, in which nanoparticles of a titanium compound are embedded by the rarely explored melt extrusion process. At BESSY II they were able to observe in detail, how t more

• Titanium catalyst enables reactions with the help of green light
  

  For the first time, chemists at the University of Bonn and Lehigh University in Bethlehem (USA) have developed a titanium catalyst that makes light usable for selective chemical reactions. It provides a cost-effective and non-toxic alternative to the ruthenium and iridium catalysts used so far, whic more

• First view of hydrogen at the metal-to-metal hydride interface
  

  University of Groningen physicists have visualized hydrogen at the titanium/titanium hydride interface using a transmission electron microscope. Using a new technique, they succeeded in visualizing both the metal and the hydrogen atoms in a single image, allowing them to test different theoretical m more

Colours of Transition Metal Ions in Aqueous Solution

This graphic looks at the colours of transition metal ions when they are in aqueous solution (in water), and also looks at the reason why we see coloured compounds and complexes for transition metals. This helps explain, for example, why rust (iron oxide) is an orange colour, and why the Statue of L more

The Chemistry of Fireworks

The colours in fireworks stem from a wide variety of metal compounds – particularly metal salts. ‘Salt’ as a word conjures up images of the normal table salt you probably use every day; whilst this is one type of salt (sodium chloride), in chemistry ‘salt’ refers to any compound that contains metal more

Developing Advanced Lithium Ion Batteries

Today’s graphic takes a look at the research of Kent Griffith (@kentjgriffith), a PhD student from the University of Cambridge who’s currently looking into developing advanced lithium ion batteries to power our phones, laptops, and more. more

  Lithium derivative of diphosphane (Ph)tBuP-P(SiMe3)Li (1) was isolated for the first time and investigated in reactions with β-diketiminate (MeNacnac− = [Ar]NC(Me)CHC(Me)N[Ar]; Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) and PNP-pincer (PNP = N[2-PiPr2-4-methylphenyl]2) Ti(III) complexes. The β-diketiminate titanium(III) co more

• Two new hexanuclear titanium oxo cluster types and their structural connection to known clusters

  Ti6O6(OiPr)2(OOCR′)10 (R′ = C4H7, Et) and Ti6O3(OiPr)14(OOC–CH [[double bond, length as m-dash]] CH–COO)2 represent new structure types of carboxylate-substituted clusters with a Ti6Ox core (x = 3–6). They complement the already known six structure types and thus allow conclusions on how the structu more
