Lithium-metal (Li-metal) batteries show great potential for packing more significant amounts of energy than the current lithium-ion batteries. For example, a Li-metal electric battery in a car could ...

Rare earth metal methylidene complexes represent an exciting frontier in organometallic chemistry, characterised by the presence of a terminal CH₂ moiety bound directly to a rare earth element. These ...

Metal Organic Frameworks have enjoyed a brighter spotlight in recent years - especially after the Nobel Prize win in ...

The number of electrons in the element's outer shell hugely influences reactivity. If the outer electron shell is full then an additional chemical bond cannot be formed because there is no room. Inert ...

Scientists have shown what it takes to make long-overlooked chromium help form ammonia; this work is a critical step in controlling a reaction that could store electrons from intermittent wind and ...
