Big problems. To combat this issue, researchers at the University of Illinois have developed mats of metal oxide nanofibers that scrub sulfur from petroleum-based fuels in a much more effective way than traditional materials and methods. Employing this technique would improve performance for fuel-based catalysis, facilitate toxic gas […]
