Stanford researchers have designed a light-driven bimetallic alloyed plasmonic photocatalyst that can both effectively and selectively catalyze heterogenous hydrogenation.
Measurement of dissolved CO2 has critical applications in healthcare monitoring and consumer goods quality control, yet is difficult to measure directly.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel electrode composed of copper-based catalyst and a carbon-based catalyst to directly convert CO2 into ethylene, a valuable carbon-based molecule.
Stanford researchers led by Dr. Arun Majumdar have developed photocatalysts combining transport- and reaction-selective nanostructures for direct methanol production.
Stanford researchers have discovered a new class of metallic glass alloys with superior properties such as low cost, high wear resistance, and electric conductivity comparable to graphite.
Antimicrobial peptoids are promising leads for novel antibiotics; however, their activity is often compromised under physiological conditions. Inventors at Stanford enhanced the efficacy of antimicrobial peptoids by using thiourea and thiourea derivatives.
Stanford researchers in the Swartz lab have developed a method for improving the productivity of biosynthetic processes via enzymatic detoxification of aberrant forms of NAD(P)H.
Stanford inventors have developed a cell-free method for carbon-negative biosynthetic production of commodity biochemicals by using hydrogen gas as a source of reducing equivalents.
Stanford researchers in the Swartz lab have proposed a method to synthesize metabolic cofactors from inexpensive substrates for protein synthesis and commodity production applications.
Chemical engineers at Stanford have developed miscible antifoams that are easy to incorporate and do not separate out from the target liquid during operation.
Wastewater treatment is energy and cost intensive. Demand charges on electricity bills often account for a large share of electricity costs, creating strong incentives for shifting load peaks away from time-of-use periods.
Multiplexed analysis of biological components is critical for classifying molecular subtypes of heterogeneous tumors to provide patient-specific therapies.
Stanford researchers in the Kanan group have developed a electrolysis cell for generating and extracting liquid and gas product streams from CO and CO2.
