Stanford researchers have developed a streamlined method for simultaneously estimating a broad range of hydrocarbon fuel physical and chemical properties for a wide range of fuels.
Stanford researchers led by Profs. Yi Cui and Steven Chu have demonstrated that interfacial layer of hollow carbon nanospheres allows stable lithium metal anode cycling up to a practical current density of 1 mA cm-2.
Stanford researchers at the Swartz Research Group have engineered an Iron-Iron (Fe-Fe) hydrogenase with as high as 5-fold enhancement in O2 tolerance by introducing cysteine mutations around the electron supply pathway within the enzyme.
Stanford researchers have discovered a novel method of doping nanowires (NW) and thin films (TF) that greatly improves surface area and performance. The sol-flame method is a fast, simple and low cost way to introduce dopants into NW and TF for a wide variety of applications.
Researchers in Dr. Alfred Spormann's lab have developed a method of using co-cultures to enhance microbial electrosynthesis to allow more efficient production of desired products such as biofuel.
Enzymatically active hydrogenase is synthesized in a cell-free reaction. The hydrogenases are synthesized in a cell-free reaction comprising a cell extract derived from microbial strains expressing at least one hydrogenase accessory protein.
Engineers in Prof. Arunava Majumdar's laboratory have formulated high-entropy phase-change materials that can split water to produce hydrogen at moderate temperatures using a scalable, carbon-free process.
Stanford researchers at the Jaramillo, Nørskov, and Cargnello Labs have developed an improved system to generate NH3 (ammonia) from N2 and H2O via a low-pressure, electro-thermochemical, sustainable alternative to the conventional Haber-Bosch p
A multidisciplinary team of Stanford researchers have developed a new class of tunable, zinc-based sorbents that use catalytic carbonate chemistry to efficiently capture carbon in the presence of water vapor.
A new method for underground mapping and imaging allows the use of the underground reflections of electromagnetic pulses caused by lightning (occurring up to thousands of miles away) to be used for geologic imaging.
Rechargeable lithium sulfur batteries have attracted great interest in recent years because of their high theoretical specific energy, which is several times that of current lithium-ion batteries.
