Exploring the ultrasmall and ultrafast through advances in attosecond science

Researchers from Oak Ridge National Lab, with support from the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource at SLAC, found a better way to convert carbon dioxide to methanol. The team was the first to use anion substitution to this end. Such catalysts could join the portfolio of technologies aimed at achieving global net-zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.

A 'liquid battery' advance

A Stanford team is developing a new strategy for selectively converting and long-term storing of electrical energy in liquid fuels. "We also discovered a novel, selective catalytic system for storing electrical energy in a liquid fuel without generating gaseous hydrogen," said Robert Waymouth, professor in chemistry and senior author of this study.
