Tungsten Oxide

USTC(University of Science and Technology of China) recently announced that professor Xiong Yujie research group designed a kind of nano structure tungsten oxide in defect state based on inorganic solid accurate preparation of chemical and use crystalline defect project. Under broad spectrum illumination, it shows fine oxidation coupling catalytic property which is expected to realize low cost and low-energy organic chemical technology. Tungsten oxide has good photocatalytic property due to its special structure, it has already been used as varies of catalyst and also other industrial fields.  Most of catalytic reaction is based on the application of precious metal oxide and motivated by burning of petroleum and coal. It has disadvantages of high cost and high energy consuming. Compared to precious metal catalyst, metal oxide has benefits of low cost. However, it shows shortcomings in oxygen molecular system which can not capture solar energy and pass it into oxygen molecular...

Recently, the Chinese Academy of Physical and Chemical Research Institute has successfully synthesized a highly efficient water electrolyzing catalyst to achieve high efficiency at a low voltage of activating water molecules, and offered the potential for solving the future energy crisis. Hydrogen is considered as the best source of energy, unlike the other new energy sources, like solar, nuclear, ocean, biomass and geothermal energy and so on, it belongs to the energy of energetic body which is available direct combustion. Among the hydrogen production technologies, the way of solar water photolysis or photo-assisted electrolysis of water is one of the most promising and efficient pathway, which is depending on the semiconductor electrode, and moreover, the water electrolyzing catalyst can greatly improve the efficiency of water electrolysis hydrogen. Zhang Rui, one of the researchers led his team carried out a in-depth study on the nanostructure of "Hydrotalcite (LDH)...

Recently, Nissan release the automobile solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC): vehicles which equipped with solid oxide fuel cells will use bio-ethanol rather than the liquid hydrogen. Produce ethanol reformer hydrogen combines with oxygen in the air in a fuel cell to produce electricity, then discharging water. According to the source, this system is more efficient than the existing hydrogen fuel cell system, which the recharge mileage can reach about 600 km. what kind of black tech is SOFC? SOFC is the third generation of the fuel cell, a solid-state chemical mean which direct converted efficiently and environmentally friendly the chemical energy which is stored in the fuel and oxidizer to electric energy at high temperature, a fuel cell which is considered to be widely applied as the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) in the future.   SOFC does not require expensive platinum as a catalyst with both the anode and cathode materials are oxides. WO 3  is a semiconductor-t...
