A new advance in bromine-based flow batteries could remove one of the biggest obstacles to long-lasting, affordable energy ...

Some years ago at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I taught a one-semester inorganic course for BS chemistry majors. During the class we covered all the noncarbon elements in a ...

A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...

A new two-electron bromine chemistry sharply cuts corrosion while boosting performance, opening a clearer path for zinc–bromine flow batteries at grid scale.

The article “Green Fuels for Shipping” was quite fascinating, and it seemed to be trying to be comprehensive, but there was a loose end that I couldn’t help but wonder about (C&EN, Feb. 28, 2022, page ...

The novel electrodes effectively suppress the crossover of bromine and bromine complexes, thus preventing self-discharge and enhancing the electrochemical performance and cycling stability of flowless ...

Snow and ice influence the climate and chemistry of the polar atmosphere. Field experiments in Alaska point to the significance of surface snow for polar ozone depletion events. The connection between ...

Bromine was first identified as a chemical element in 1826 by French chemist Antoine Balard. He isolated it from chlorine and found that, in its elemental form, bromine is a highly volatile, ...

Joining the ranks of carbon, selenium, sulfur and 24 others as an essential element for animal life is element 35 – bromine – long considered inessential to life and moreso, shunned as a toxic disease ...

The word displace means to push out. A more reactive element can displace a less reactive element out of its compound during a chemical reaction. Displacement reactions can be used to investigate the ...
