How can operando spectroscopy combined with machine learning accelerate the rational design of stable copper-based catalysts for selective CO₂ electroreduction?
Recent work has shown that selective dissolution–redeposition, influenced by oxophilicity and miscibility, reshapes copper bimetallic active sites and drives C₁/C₂ selectivity shifts. Integrating operando characterization with machine-learning-guided design could reveal hidden descriptors and accelerate discovery of highly selective, durable CO₂ reduction catalysts.

How can advances in electrochemical CO₂ conversion improve scalability of carbon-to-fuel technologies while minimizing energy demand and byproduct formation?
As a specialist in CO₂ reduction, my work focuses on advancing pathways that move beyond capture and storage toward scalable, value-added solutions. Current approaches including mineralization, electrochemical conversion, and bio-catalytic processes show potential but face challenges of efficiency, energy demand, and long-term stability. A critical next step is identifying how chemical, mineral, or catalytic enhancements can accelerate these processes while maintaining sustainability and...

In an age where the scientific community is often seen as a guarantor and where short-termist policies are the norm, is there still a place for independent research ?
Calls for projects are becoming increasingly time-consuming, with researchers facing intense competition for funding, which is monopolising ancillary services, consultants and even lobbyists. Budgets allocated to research are determined by priorities that vary according to political choices, the coherence of which can legitimately be questioned. All too often, announced policies reflect subjective choices based on unfounded presuppositions, or even deny established scientific facts....

I am conducting a field experiment using a randomized complete block design. The layout includes 5 blocks, each of equal land area. Within each block, there are 5 plots, and each plot receives a different single treatment. These 5 treatments are repeated across all blocks, so each treatment is replicated five times in total—once per block. My question concerns sample collection for a single treatment. What is the scientifically valid and recommended method for collecting samples and...

A serious threat to human population in near future is the energy crises. What could be the plausible solution?
Global energy crisis is putting serious threats to the world's population recently. Mitigation and adoptation strategies are helping to overcome this issue but to a lesser extent. What should be the way forward?
Pings FAQ
What is a Ping?
A Ping is a single science-based question. The question comes from a fellow SciPinion Expert who is seeking input from the expert community. All participation in this service (i.e. asking or answering questions) is voluntary and anonymous if you prefer.
Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
Yes, please contact SciPinion if you would like to sponsor a Paid Ping.
What do I get for answering a Ping?
By answering a question from a fellow SciPinion Expert you earn 1 Ping Credit, which allows you to sponsor your own Ping (e.g., for every question you answer, you can ask your own question)
You also receive the satisfaction of helping your fellow experts and supporting the scientific community.
