A discovery in molecular chemistry may help remove a barrier to widespread use of diesel and other fuel-efficient "lean burn" vehicle engines. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific ...

DURING our work on the available thermionic emission from mixtures of the alkaline earth oxides (barium, strontium and calcium oxides), we have studied the properties of the system barium ...

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have great potential for stationary and mobile applications. Stationary use ranges from residential applications to power plants. Mobile applications include power for ...

One of the main pollutants produced by both automobile and industrial combustion emissions is Nitric oxide (NO). It has many adverse effects on the atmosphere, including formation of smog and loss of ...

(Left) ZT of all four cobalt oxide films increases with increasing temperature. The barium cobalt oxide film (red diamonds) has the highest ZT among the four, reaching a high ZT value of ~0.55 at 600 ...
