Brazilian researchers prepared black titanium dioxide using a simple and scalable method and used this low-cost photosensitive nanomaterial as a photoanode in a fuel cell. The device was able to generate electricity, with very high efficiency, using organic compounds as fuel and sunlight as the energy source. The work was reported in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.

This work led by Prof. Helinando Pequeno de Oliveira (UNIVASF), a B-MRS member, describes the simple production of a low-cost flexible triboelectric nanogenerator based on PVA membranes with fibroin (material extracted from the silkworm). The device, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, is promising for use in wearable electronics.

– B-MRS repudiated a recent decree of the federal government, which prohibited financial disbursements in the month of December, preventing the payment of around 200,000 student and postdoc scholarships. The Society sympathized with the scholarship holders at this difficult time and demanded the immediate recomposition of the budget. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
