University of California – Davis physicists have come up with a new, simpler method to make a nanofoam of palladium. A nanofoam is a low density, porous material with very small pore size. The foamy metal could be used to store hydrogen in vehicles or for other purposes. A nanofoam is what it sounds like […]

Sweden’s University of Borås doctoral student Ramkumar Nair has shown it is possible to produce bioethanol from agricultural and industrial waste in existing plants in a socioeconomically sustainable way. Nair said, “I have been verifying a process that we hope will work in an industrial scale, when it comes to using existing ethanol factories. Thanks […]

An international team of researchers, affiliated with Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) researchers have developed a novel hydrogen isotope separation system based on a porous metal organic framework (MOF). The isolation of deuterium from a physico-chemically almost identical isotopic mixture has been a seminal challenge in modern separation technology. This MOF system, […]

Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) and URV researchers have designed a new catalyst that reduces the cost of electrolytic hydrogen production. The new catalysts reduce the amount of electricity needed to break the chemical bonds, speed up the reaction and minimize the energy waste. Galán-Mascarós explained, “Normally, hydrogen is obtained from using a […]
