Ruthenium-Based Electrocatalysts for Effective Hydrogen Evolution Reaction
April 27, 2021 Researchers summarized four main strategies for improving the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of Ru-based catalysts.
Low-cost Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER)
August 13, 2021 Using first-principles calculations, researchers designed a defect and N-, S-, P-doped penta-graphene (PG) as a two-dimensional (2D) electrocatalyst for HER. Its stability, electronic properties and catalytic performance were investigated.
COP 26
October 12, 2021 In just a few days the nations of the world will once again meet to discuss climate change. The meeting will likely set the stage for action –or lack thereof- that will make or break our collective effort to halt the dumping of greenhouse gases in the … Continue reading
Coal Use
Coal is extracted from the ground by coal mining, either underground by shaft mining, or at ground level by open pit mining, and its extraction and use are directly related to a number of adverse health and environmental consequences, including: • 2,800 deaths from lung cancer and black lung disease in … Continue reading

Climate Change and Nuclear War Revisited
April 29, 2021 Background On April 19, 2021, at a press conference about climate change, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres said that “we are on the verge of the abyss.” The evidence supporting his conclusion is overwhelming. Increasingly severe storms, droughts, wild fires, rising seas, and mass … Continue reading
