Onderzoekers ontdekken verborgen stadia bij maken zonnebrandstof en batterijen

Back to overview

Researchers from the University of Warwick and University of Birmingham have discovered hidden intermediate stages in material synthesis that could revolutionize the creation of solar fuels and batteries. By tracking molecular transformations during heating using advanced techniques like solid-state NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, scientists identified fleeting material phases that typically disappear before the final product forms. These intermediate stages possess unique properties and structures impossible to create through standard methods, suggesting that focusing on the
