Fact 62 I indicated where to look for information on industrial research on a catalyst for low-temperature N2O decomposition (Fact 58). But how to produce the catalyst itself? How to successfully scale production process? These are issues that are often patented! However, scientists from Łukasiewicz - New Chemical Institute (Poland), Jagiellonian University (Poland), and Lille University of Science and Technology (France) in cooperation shared the results of their experiments in the journal Catalysis Today. https://lnkd.in/eUzButV4

We recently caught up with Advisory Board member Professor Hiromitsu Maeda (Ritsumeikan University) to discuss his recent ChemComm publication and reflect on the 60th anniversary of the journal. Q - What is your favourite thing about ChemComm? A - The reports in ChemComm show cutting-edge and attractive results in just four pages. Q - In your opinion, what are the next steps or potential areas of research that could build upon the findings in this paper? A - The results of this paper, including the arrangement of charged π-electronic systems via iπ–iπ interactions, would facilitate the development of new supramolecular assemblies and functional materials. Read the full interview on our blog 👉 https://lnkd.in/eC_nTCaj And be sure to read Hiromitsu's full communication, "Substitution-pattern- and counteranion-dependent ion-pairing assemblies of heteroporphyrin-based π-electronic cations", now published in ChemComm! https://lnkd.in/ejWrYNyD

In tough competition, Nilar has been granted research funding of SEK 2.5 million from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) for the project "Development of electrode materials for NiMH batteries", a collaboration between Uppsala University and Nilar starting in January 2024. The research project will be carried out by the industrial doctoral candidate Elsa Lindström from Nilar and focus on how higher performance can be achieved for Nickel Metal Hydride batteries through new coatings, additives and dopants. - That Nilar is awarded yet another research grant is both a seal of approval on our R&D ability and at the same time it shows the need for more research collaborations to enable tomorrow's energy solutions. Batteries are a crucial part of the green transition, and it is important to continue to develop the batteries' performance, production and circularity, says Erik Oldmark, CEO of Nilar International AB. Mathias Forsberg, PhD and Jenny Börjesson Axén, both senior research engineers are supervisors from Nilar, and Andy Naylor from Uppsala University participates as supervisor from the Department of Chemistry.

🔋 Join me at the March Excellence seminar "Na-ion and K-ion Chemistry for Sustainable Battery" hosted by Battery 2030 ! 🔋 🌐I'm curious to see what unfolds in the realm of sodium ion batteries with all their promises and potential for a rise. Potassium ion batteries, on the other hand, are a whole new world for me, and I'm genuinely excited to explore this fresh territory. The recycling aspect, though still a way off, is what really catches my interest. There's something about the sustainability aspect that adds an extra layer of excitement, don't you think? #Battery #Batterie #BatteryRecycling

TOP LEVEL speaker! let's break down the secrets of the electrolyte, key component in the heart of a cell!

I am honored to represent CAS at the 2023 International Conference on Carbon Chemistry & Materials in Paris, on October 24th. During this event, I will have the privilege of presenting the remarkable content that our scientists have prepared, drawing from CAS's wealth of scientific content and expertise. The presentation will delve into three decades of Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) development and innovation, ultimately culminating in the extraordinary potential of this new class of materials across various cutting-edge industrial applications. I cordially invite you to join me to explore the exciting journey in carbon nanotube research, as we discuss the evolution of synthesis techniques and the emergence of novel applications spanning these transformative 30 years. The presentation is titled: "Trends in Carbon Nanotube Research: Development of Synthesis and New Applications Over 30 Year".

Insightful note on the importance of @critical raw materials and their key importance in the @green transition and digitalization.

Next week I'll be in Prague for the European Congress on Catalysis, Europacat! One of the best conferences in the field. However, please be aware of the following health and safety information if you plan on attending. Packing 3-5 extra pairs of socks and some sturdy headgear is highly recommended, because the contributions from my current and former group members are going to blow both your mind and your socks clean off. Please come prepared if you plan to attend the following events: 1. Monday 28th, Poster CHAR-P-085, "Hard X-ray tomography reveals structural degradation and chemical composition of Pt/Rh gauze catalysts for NH3 oxidation", presented by Srashtasrita Das 🏆 2. Tuesday 29th, Short Lecture CHAR-SOL-23, "Hard X-ray Nanotomography Reveals Coking in Technical Catalysts", presented by Sebastian Weber 💫 3. Monday 28th, Poster CHAR-P-084, "Visualizing sulphur poisoning in structured honeycomb catalysts with hard x-ray nanotomography", presented by Shweta Sharma 🎆 You will likely not have seen results like this at any previous catalysis conference, but don't be afraid of the unknown! Come along, learn why X-ray tomography with synchrotron radiation is delivering small revolutions in the field with each new publication. Get inspired to try some of these methods for yourself. Get ready to learn. Catalysis/chemical industry attendees - all the above are particularly relevant to your interests. You may especially need to pack additional underwear. Hear us, know us. See you at Europacat! https://lnkd.in/eMpybYCB #europacat #catalysis #innovation
