The discovery could help combat climate change and provide a more sustainable way to produce certain industrial products.</p> Fri, 13 Sep 2024 18:45:43 +0000 keila.depape@mcgill.ca 314626 at /newsroom /newsroom/chao-jun-li Fri, 19 Aug 2022 19:49:39 +0000 lawrence.chiang@mail.mcgill.ca 288313 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/science-mag-ultraviolet-light-could-provide-powerful-new-source-green-fuel-294895 <p>Methanol鈥攁 colourless liquid that can be made from agricultural waste鈥攈as long been touted as a green alternative to fossil fuels. But it鈥檚 toxic and only has half the energy as the same volume of gasoline. Now, <a href="/chemistry/faculty/cj-li">Chao-Jun Li</a> and colleagues report they鈥檝e created a potentially cheap way to use sunlight to convert methanol to ethanol, a more popular alternative fuel that鈥檚 less harmful and carries more energy.<br /></p> Thu, 21 Feb 2019 20:01:02 +0000 laurie.devine@mcgill.ca 145784 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/hanadi-sleiman-cj-li-awarded-killam-research-fellowships-287069 <hr /> <div>平特五不中 chemistry professors <a href="/chemistry/faculty/hanadi-sleiman"><strong>Hanadi Sleiman</strong></a> and <a href="/chemistry/faculty/cj-li"><strong>Chao-Jun Li</strong></a> are among the six recipients of this year鈥檚 Killam Research Fellowships.
