Glass ranks as one of the most important materials of our age. You have only to think about smartphones, or drinking glasses, or look out of the window to realise that glass in its various forms is ...

Photocatalysis, a technology that converts solar energy into chemical reactions, holds immense promise for addressing energy shortages and environmental pollution. However, traditional crystalline ...

Glass is a non-crystalline amorphous solid. A single component fused silicon dioxide or silica (SiO 2) is the purest form of glass. As pure silica is hard to process and expensive, the properties for ...

Often called "white carbon", amorphous precipitated silica is an integral component of the tread compound used for fuel-efficient tires. The manufacturing process for amorphous precipitated silica is ...

What is Colloidal Silicon Dioxide? Colloidal silicon dioxide, in other terms known as ‘colloidal silica’, is a polymeric form of silicon. The non-toxic, naturally occurring element silicon is listed ...

Alkaline water splitting has the advantages of low cost, long lifetime and ease of maintenance, and is widely applied commercially. However, the sluggish kinetics of HER inhibits the further ...

(Nanowerk News) Structure of amorphous materials clarified. This project has so far been a big challenge due to the complexity of this material class. Modern preparation methods in combination with ...
