Perovskite materials impact on the story of the modern human civilization
From simple discovery of CaTiO3 to high-efficiency materials in electronic devices such as sensors, magnetic memory components, electrode and electrolyte materials for fuel cells and solar cells By Prof. Youssef TAMRAOUI Many different elements must come together before the human community develops to the level…
Carbon Free Inorganic Polymers “Geopolymers”
Polymers are macromolecules which consist of a succession of several small and repetitive chemical entities called monomers. Poly- means “many” and –mer means “part” or “segment”. Regarding the chemistry of polymers, two types are commonly known; the organic and inorganic polymers. The organic polymers are essentially formed of carbon and hydrogen-based…
Energy Transition and Energy Storage Challenges for The 21st Century
With the global population and industrialization growth, especially in developing nations, humanity’s hunger for energy has reached unprecedented levels. More than half of our energy comes from fossil fuels extracted from deep within the Earth’s crust. It is estimated that since commercial oil drilling began…
Phosphate and biomass for water treatment and flame-retardancy
Wood is an interesting natural composite material. Composite means that it is made of several components. The main components of wood are called cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Cellulose is a strong fibrous component which ensure the mechanical function in wood. Cellulose is embedded in a…
