Electric vehicle supply chains owned mostly by China jeopardize US energy transition, says Baker Institute report

April 20, 2022

The global push to convert the world to electric vehicles will cause supply chain complexities that could undermine the alternative energy transition in the United States, according to a new report from Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy.

A phase map of an agglomerated particle in a common lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery electrode shows the charge distribution as it goes from 4% to 86%. FP refers to iron phosphate. Rice University scientists found that the FP phase spreads nonuniformly on an aggregate surface upon charging, rather than the expected even spread of lithium over the surface. The scale bar is 10 microns. (Credit: Mesoscale Materials Science Group/Rice University)

Lithium’s narrow paths limit batteries

April 18, 2022

Study suggests that lithium batteries would benefit from more porous electrodes with better-aligned particles that don’t limit lithium distribution.

Common salt (NaCl) acts as an intermediary in the chemical vapor deposition growth of 2D molybdenum disulfide, speeding the process of its creation.

Rice lab improves recipe for valuable chemical

April 18, 2022

Rice University theorists show why salt gives a significant speed boost to valuable 2D molybdenum disulfide, an effect they say may work for other 2D materials as well.

Pores in this micron-scale particle, the result of pyrolyzing in the presence of potassium acetate, are able to sequester carbon dioxide from streams of flue gas. Rice University scientists say the process could be a win-win for a pair of pressing environmental problems.

Treated plastic waste good at grabbing carbon dioxide

April 5, 2022

Rice University chemists treat waste plastic to absorb carbon dioxide from flue gas streams more efficiently than current processes.

New Rice research: Tattoos not a turnoff for customers

April 4, 2022

Thinking of getting a tattoo but worried about consequences on the job? Maybe you shouldn’t be so concerned: New research from Rice University and the University of Houston finds that customers don’t necessarily look down on employees with tattoos – and in some settings, ink is seen as a plus.
