Boron-based Furan polymers are a new class of renewable energy materials based on boron. These materials can provide portable energy sources, serve as catalysts in chemical reactions, and can potentially be used as electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries. They are also highly biodegradable.
Fluids, Fuel, Lubricants and Additives - Boron has been proven to be an excellent lubricant for engine components. University of Utah researchers found that parts coated with boron had 50% less friction than others. This may result in significant fuel savings and increased engine durability. Boron should become an essential ingredient in fuels and engine technology once its potential benefits are further clarified.
Boron Fuel - While lithium-ion batteries are powering the road ahead for electric vehicles such as the Tesla S and others, several disruptive scientists and entrepreneurs are paving the way for an entirely new form of fuel – Hydrogen Boron fuel. Analysts claim a single gram of Boron could provide enough fuel to allow a vehicle to travel 80,000 kilometres.

It is an interesting element. It has a very low melting point, and it does not conduct electricity well. There are so many properties of Boron that make it a great material for building solar panels with. This blog post discusses the applications of Boron in infrared rays absorption and how this is useful to increase energy efficiency. Boron absorbs infrared rays It has three different absorption peaks for infrared rays. The first and second are at wavelengths of about 12 microns, while the third is around 19 microns. This means that it absorbs both long-wave radiation and short-wave...
Modern civilization has been heavily influenced by the discovery of petrochemicals. The entire human race is driven by this natural resource, dubbed liquid gold. Petrochemical derivatives are overwhelmingly present in our lives --- as plastic bags/wrappers that envelop everything from food items to clothing, as cosmetics, as the spandex garments that drape us so flawlessly, as fertilizers or even as molded furniture, to its crudest form - as gasoline in our car tanks, jet fuels and kerosene for cooking! With oil defining our lives, industrialization, and global economies, there is a...
Nuclear power is a controversial topic. Many want to abolish it entirely. And just as many believe that the benefits of nuclear power outweigh its risks. But in any case, there can be no denying that the safety of nuclear reactors is paramount for both sides of the argument. That is why we're going to take a closer look at boron today. It is one of the most important materials in neutron capture for nuclear power safety. Boron: neutron capture for nuclear power safety Firstly, It is a non-metal that has no electrons. This makes it an excellent neutron capture agent for nuclear power...
How is Boron Beneficial for Heat Conversion? This is a topic of interest for many scientists, engineers, and chemists due to its unique properties. It is an element that plays a vital role in heat and other energy conversion processes. Additionally, it is important for storage in nuclear power plants. It is also used as a conductor of heat. Therefore, it has many applications in the future. One interesting property of boron is that it is made into powders with varying degrees of hardness. So it can potentially provide solutions for both low-carbon emission vehicles and high-temperature...
