Atom-level simulations reveal the reason iron rusts in supposedly 'inert' supercritical carbon dioxide fluid. Trace amounts of water can cause a reaction at the interface between iron and the fluid, ...

Mateo Jaramillo, the co-founder of Form Energy, is taking an unconventional approach to storing renewable energy. Lithium-ion batteries are all the rage today—we use them in computers, cell phones, ...

A new low-cost, “air-breathing” battery has the capacity to store between eight and 24 hours’ worth of energy. The rechargeable and eco-friendly battery uses the chemical energy generated by the ...

Researchers have made a key first step in economically converting plant materials to fuels: keeping iron from rusting. Washington State University researchers have made a key first step in ...

An 'iron-air' battery has been developed in the US that can store electricity from wind or solar power stations for days at a time, slowly discharging it to the grid. It will help tackle climate ...

So, the presence of highly oxidised iron-bearing minerals, such as hematite, on the Moon was an unexpected discovery, according to lead author Shuai Li. Rusting iron has been found on the Moon and it ...

IN the October issue of the Chemical Society's Journal, Mr. Bertram Lambert describes a second series of experiments on the rusting of iron. In these experiments it is shown by spectroscopic ...

HOUSTON – (Jan. 21, 2022) – Iron that rusts in water theoretically shouldn’t corrode in contact with an “inert” supercritical fluid of carbon dioxide. But it does. The reason has eluded materials ...

IN NATURE of February 21 (p. 390) appears a letter from Prof. Wyndham R. Dunstan in which he represents me as having concluded “that carbonic acid is essential to the rusting of iron, and that rusting ...
