Takahiro Suzuki; Misaki Fujino; Yoji Yamada – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
A laboratory experiment is proposed, wherein students fabricate a glucose fuel cell, use it to operate a solar motor, and investigate its performance. First, a fuel cell catalyst is prepared by plating palladium on two nickel wire meshes using an aqueous palladium chloride solution containing sodium dodecyl sulfate, an anionic surfactant that…

Paul Erik Olli; Tavo Romann – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Metal-air battery technology is a promising new energy storage solution in the green energy economy but also an excellent tool to educate students on the working principles of batteries. A simple yet powerful construction of a metal-air battery is shown, which consists of a plastic mint box, a cathode, an anode, and an electrolyte. Furthermore,…

Stilwell, Matthew D.; Yao, Chunhua; Vajko, Dale; Jeffery, Kelly; Powell, Douglas; Wang, Xudong; Gillian-Daniel, Anne Lynn – Science Teacher, 2021
What if "every breath you take, every move you make" (Sting 1983) could be harnessed to produce renewable energy? Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are state-of-the-art devices researchers are studying to do just that--convert kinetic energy into electrical energy at the source (Saurabh Rathore 2018). This type of electrical energy is…

Schellhammer, Karl Sebastian; Cuniberti, Gianaurelio – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
We are hereby presenting a didactic concept for an advanced lab course that focuses on the design of donor materials for organic solar cells. Its research-related and competence-based approach qualifies the students to independently and creatively apply computational methods and to profoundly and critically discuss the results obtained. The high…
