Taking their inspiration from nature, scientists have developed a new method for carrying out chemical reduction – an industrial process used to produce fuels and chemicals that are vital for modern ...

The rGO technique and its related processes have their foundations in the Brodie method, which later became the Hummers method. Variants of the technique then developed on from the Hummers method. The ...

Researchers have made a key advance in the green chemistry pursuit of converting the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into reusable forms of carbon via electrochemical reduction. Researchers at Oregon ...

To break compounds’ aromaticity, chemists commonly rely on the 74-year-old Birch reduction, which uses sodium metal and ammonia. However, the components’ moisture-sensitive nature—requiring ...
