New Solar Hydrogen Production Record From Supercrystals
December 7, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München researchers have developed new high-performance nanostructures, a material that holds a new world record for green hydrogen production with sunlight. When Emiliano Cortés goes hunting for sunlight, he doesn’t use gigantic mirrors or solar farms. Quite the contrary, the professor of experimental physics and energy conversion at LMU dives into the nanocosmos. “Where […]

Store Hydrogen At Room Temp For An Extended Period Of Time
November 30, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Kyushu University researchers have developed a new hydrogen energy carrier material capable storing hydrogen energy efficiently and potentially more cheaply. Each molecule can store one electron from hydrogen at room temperature, store it for up to three months, and can be its own catalyst to extract said electron. Moreover, as the compound is made primarily […]

Thermochemical Hydrogen Idea Harnesses Solar To Split Water
October 17, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineers have designed a system that can efficiently produce ‘solar thermochemical hydrogen.’ It harnesses the sun’s heat to split water and generate hydrogen – a clean fuel that emits no greenhouse gas emissions. In a study appearing in Solar Energy Journal, the engineers lay out the conceptual design for a system […]

Save That Plastic Research Finds How To Get Hydrogen From It
October 11, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Rice University researchers have found a way to harvest hydrogen from plastic waste using a low-emissions method that generates graphene as a by-product, which could help offset production costs. Hydrogen is viewed as a promising alternative to fossil fuel, but the methods used to make it either generate too much carbon dioxide or are […]
