In May, campus leaders signed the Green Chemistry Commitment to practice and teach sustainable chemistry—an effort being encouraged and advanced by students.
In research recently published in Science, Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder scientists detail how light—rather than energy-intensive heat—can efficiently and sustainably catalyze chemical transformations.
Light-powered reactions could make the chemical manufacturing industry more energy-efficient.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder chemist Niels Damrauer and his research colleagues use visible light to break environmentally persistent carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS.
We developed a way to use light to dismantle PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ – long-lasting environmental pollutants.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder chemist will use the five-year support to study tailoring cycles affecting energy flow in solar energy conversion.
In newly published study, Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder chemist Wei Zhang details a new porous material that is less expensive and more sustainable.
Chemistry Professor Gordana Dukovic will pursue research to develop new insights into solar chemistry.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder professor of chemistry recalled as great scientist, teacher, colleague, friend, mentor and lover of the outdoors.
Min Han and Arthur Nozik join a distinguished cohort that includes George Clooney and Jhumpa Lahiri.
