Deutschland im Kunststoffrecycling und bei Biokunststoffen europaweit mit den meisten Patenten
Deutschland hat in Europa zwar mit die meisten Patente bei Kunststoffrecycling und alternativen Kunststofftechnologien, jedoch mit Mangel an Spezialisierung im Vergleich zu anderen führenden europäischen Staaten. das geht aus einer Studie des Europäischen Patentamts (EPA) hervort. So entfielen auf Europa und die USA zwischen 2010 und 2019 jeweils 30 Prozent bzw. zusammen 60 Prozent der

Kohlendioxid-Sauger fürs Klima
Die Isländer sitzen auf einer Ressource, die am wertvollsten ist, wenn sie einfach da bleibt, wo sie ist, Hunderte Meter unter der Erde. Dann könnte das Basaltgestein Kohlendioxid binden, das einst aus dem Boden geholt, verbrannt wurde und in der Atmosphäre seine klimaschädliche Wirkung entfaltet hat. Das zumindest ist die Idee hinter „Orca“. Orca ist

Intensified solar thermochemical carbon dioxide splitting over iron-based perovskite
Practical solar fuel production via two-step solar thermochemical CO2 splitting (STCS), a promising method. We demonstrate that FeNi alloy embedded in perovskite substrate enables near complete CO2 splitting and record CO production rate of 381 mL g-1 min-1 (STP). This unprecedented performance is ascribed to stabilization of oxidized Fe cations by in-situ involving into robust
