Release Date: May 31, 2018 This content is archived. BUFFALO, N.Y. — What’s better than platinum? In hydrogen fuel cells, the answer is cofacial cobalt porphyrins. It’s a mouthful to say, and if ...

In their analysis, the researchers focused on a particularly intriguing chemical twist. At the beginning of the process, a bridge of two oxygen atoms connects two cobalt ions. Each of the cobalt ions, ...

Compounds of cobalt have proved useful throughout history, and it remains an important element to this day, with applications in chemical synthesis. The name is thought to derive from the German ...

These structures may look like ice crystals, but they’re actually cobalt nanoparticles that Kehley Davies at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, synthesized from cobalt(II) chloride. The ...

Tesla's batteries, which contain chemical compounds of cobalt, are at risk from a shortage of cobalt because of high demand in lithium ion batteries. Overlooked is that nearly 80% of the cobalt is ...

LONDON (Reuters) - A surplus of cobalt chemicals used to make the rechargeable batteries that power electric vehicles has seen Chinese refiners switch to producing metal, sending prices down 30 ...
