Researchers have developed a sunlight-driven process that breaks down common plastic waste and reassembles its carbon into ...

Ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) is a linchpin of lithium-ion battery electrolytes, making up 30–35% of their composition due to its unique balance of solubility, safety, and stability. As global demand ...

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a solar-powered method to convert plastic ...

This study achieved efficient and highly enantioselective synthesis of chiral α-aryl cyclic ketones through visible light photocatalysis-driven racemization, with the main advantages being: 1. Under ...

Alkylate is in short supply in the US. The renewable fuels standard (RFS) mandates the use of ethanol in gasoline. The high vapor pressure of ethanol requires a reduction in other light gasoline ...

Researchers found a way to turn plastic waste into the main ingredient in vinegar using sunlight and a simple iron based material.

A simple new technique could boost the efficiency of some key chemical processing, by up to a factor of 100,000, researchers report. The reactions are at the heart of petrochemical processing, ...

Methanol-to-olefins (MTO) is a crucial non-petroleum route to produce light olefins like ethene and propene, which are essential for manufacturing ...
