What is the News? Indian Scientists have discovered a strategy to synthesize novel solid adsorbents for CO2 capture and utilization. What is Carbon Capture and Utilization(CCU)? Carbon Capture and Utilization(CCU) is the process of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) to be recycled for further usage. CCU is a growing field of research focusing on reducing CO2… Continue reading Novel strategy to synthesize solid adsorbents for CO2 capture and utilization discovered

What is the News? Indian Scientists have designed an electrocatalyst system for energy-efficient hydrogen production with the help of the electrolysis of urea. Hydrogen Production by Urea electrolysis The energy requirement for the production of hydrogen through water electrolysis can be reduced by 70% through urea electrolysis.  This can be done by replacing the energy-intensive… Continue reading Scientists develop energy-efficient hydrogen production by urea electrolysis
