New Catalyst Makes Hydrogen From Seawater
November 28, 2019 | Leave a Comment
University of Houston researchers have reported a significant breakthrough with a new oxygen evolution reaction catalyst that, combined with a hydrogen evolution reaction catalyst, achieved current densities capable of supporting industrial demands while requiring relatively low voltage to start seawater electrolysis. Seawater is one of the most abundant resources on earth, offering promise both as […]

Using Mountain Altitude To Store Energy
November 27, 2019 | Leave a Comment
An International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) researcher has proposed using a combination of Mountain Gravity Energy Storage (MGES) and hydropower as a solution for long term energy storage. The background for these work is the storage of energy for long periods of time is subject to special challenges. Batteries are rapidly becoming less […]

On the Hunt For the Green Bullet Catalyst
November 21, 2019 | 1 Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Trinity College Dublin researchers have made a major discovery that will make it immeasurably easier for people (or super-computers) to search for an elusive ‘green bullet’ catalyst that could ultimately provide entirely renewable energy. The press release asserts this is a giant stride towards solving a riddle that would provide the world with entirely […]

Flow Battery Progress For Grid Use
November 20, 2019 | 1 Comment
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientists have designed an affordable ‘flow battery’ membrane that could accelerate renewable energy for the electrical grid. The press release asks, “How do you store renewable energy so it’s there when you need it, even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing?” Answering, “Giant batteries designed for the […]
