A rare and highly reactive iron mineral called green rust appears to have played an important role in ancient oceans, suggest new findings, which may have implications for the formation of Earth’s ...

Researchers in Japan have developed an inexpensive, high-performance catalyst for hydrogen storage using a modified form of ‘green rust,’ a common iron hydroxide mineral. The work, conducted at the ...

Green rust is a layered mixed-valence iron hydroxide capable of both adsorbing and reducing a broad range of inorganic and organic contaminants. Its structure comprises positively charged ...

Though they may seem rock solid, the ancient sedimentary rocks called iron formations - the world's chief economic source of iron ore - were once dissolved in seawater. How did that iron go from a ...

A green rust catalyst modified with copper oxide clusters facilitates efficient hydrogen production from sodium borohydride under light and thermal conditions, offering a scalable, low-cost ...

"Green rust" played a key role in making the Earth habitable and may now have an equally important role to play in cleaning it up for the future. Green rust is a highly reactive iron mineral which ...
