No Dia Internacional das Mulheres e Meninas na Ciência, 11 de fevereiro, começou o “II Fronteiras em Eletroquímica e Eletroanalítica: avanços realizados por jovens mulheres cientistas”. Esse evento online e gratuito teve como objetivo reunir pesquisadoras que atuam no Brasil e no exterior para debater avanços na área de Eletroquímica/ Eletroanalítica e discutir o papel da mulher na Ciência e seus principais desafios. No evento, a pós-doc Juliane Fiates (IQSC-USP), […]
The integration of solar cells to façades, windows, clothing and accessories has started to become reality thanks to the so-called emerging photovoltaic technologies, which are characterized for offering flexible and transparent devices. These devices, which cover organic, dye-sensitized and perovskites solar cells, have generated much interest, not only from companies and consumers, but also from researchers who are working to overcome the limitations of those technologies. For these research groups, […]
Known by the acronym CCUS, the concept of “Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage” covers the processes and technologies which aim at reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere through the safe storage of that greenhouse gas or its transformation into other molecules which can be used as raw material for the fabrication of fuels and other products. In a recently published paper, CINE researchers present a contribution to this […]
A review paper on photoelectrochemical methods of analysis and detection is the most recent result of the collaboration between the research group of professor Lucia Helena Mascaro (UFSCar, Brazil), a CINE researcher, and the group of professor Frank Marken (University of Bath, United Kingdom). Published in the February issue of the journal TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry (impact factor 9.8), the article was written during the research internship that the PhD […]
A scientific collaboration between researchers from CINE and from an important research center in Germany made possible the development of production techniques of porous membranes with high efficiency for separation of carbon dioxide (CO2). The research is part of the efforts made in CINE’s Division “Methane to Products” to convert methane (an abundant gas on planet Earth) into higher added value fuels and chemical compounds. These membranes separate the CO2 […]
As the name indicates, metal-air batteries are energy storage devices in which one of the electrodes, the anode, is formed by a metal and the other, the cathode, by air. These batteries promised a leap in capacity as compared to the current ones. The improvement should enable the fabrication of devices with superior performance and same size, or with similar performance and lower size and cost. As metal-air batteries are […]
Brazil is the second world producer of ethanol and the first in sugar cane ethanol. This renewable fuel is widely used in the country, where it is sold in all gasoline stations. The novelty is that ethanol can not only fill the tanks of internal combustion engines cars, but also power electric cars. In fact, ethanol can be used to generate hydrogen and, from it, to produce electricity. The process, […]
