H2 Storage

On the Look Out for an Ideal Solution

Green hydrogen is viewed as an important element that can help industries to move closer to their energy transition goals and at the same time decarbonize their operations as well. Although green H2 offers many benefits but storage and transport still remain a challenge. Experts have suggested storing green hydrogen in the form of ammonia to overcome this challenge but is it truly an ideal solution? Read on to know more…

A Novel Approach for Synthesis of Functionalized Benzenethiol Equivalents

Organosulfur skeletons are crucial in many fields, including pharmaceuticals and electronics. Synthesizing organosulfur skeletons requires o-bromobenzenethiols. However, conventional methods face challenges due to quick oxidation and formation of highly reactive intermediates. In a new study, researchers from Japan developed a new method for synthesizing o-bromobenzenethiols from aryne intermediates via bromothiolation. This method can pave the way for the synthesis of new organosulfur compounds with applications in diverse fields.
