A clean energy breakthrough has been reported by UK researchers, who say they have discovered new “in-between states” as molecular precursors break down when heated, uncovering previously unknown synthetic materials.
First reported in a recent paper in Nature Communications, the new work by University of Warwick and University of Birmingham researchers explored the intermediate phases as molecules are heated to produce traditional synthetic materials, revealing intriguing properties present only in these in-between states.
From solar-powered hydrogen production to efficient lithium storage, these newly discovered materials could present a major boon to clean energy research in the face of global climate change.
