As the world shifts toward sustainable energy sources, "green hydrogen"—hydrogen produced without emitting carbon—has emerged as a leading candidate for clean power. In a significant step forward, a ...

Northwestern University researchers are actively overturning the conventional view of iron oxides as mere phosphorus “sinks.” A critical nutrient for life, most phosphorus in the soil is organic — ...

The German chemical maker Lanxess is working with the battery materials firm IBU-tec to develop iron oxides for production of lithium iron phosphate (LFP), a cheap cathode material. Many Chinese firms ...

The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. Paul Kempler, a chemical engineer at the University ...

Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...

Ancient copper smelters may have accidentally set the stage for the Iron Age. At a 3,000-year-old workshop in Georgia, researchers discovered that metalworkers were using iron oxide not to smelt iron ...
