Graphene Filter Could Protect Fuel Cells From Big Molecules
November 2, 2023 | 1 Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… A University of Tsukuba research team has successfully developed a new method that can prevent the crossover of large fuel molecules and suppress the degradation of electrodes in advanced fuel cell technology using methanol or formic acid. The successful sieving of the fuel molecules is achieved via selective proton transfers due to steric hindrance […]

Polymer Photocatalyst Converts CO2 Into Useful Chemicals
October 5, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Tokyo Institute of Technology scientists developed a polymer-based photocatalyst for CO2 reduction that exhibits unprecedented performance. Made from abundant elements and requiring no complex post-synthesis treatment or modifications, it could pave the way for a new class of photocatalysts for efficiently converting CO2 into useful chemicals. The idea is to convert CO2 into useful […]

New Catalyst Makes Fuel Precursor from CO2 and Hydrogen
September 1, 2015 | Leave a Comment
University of Pittsburgh (UP) researchers have computationally derived a metal-free catalyst that captures converts and recycles the carbon dioxide into formic acid. The new metal-free catalyst that does the molecular recombining without the use of expensive or extreme conditions. Turning carbon dioxide effluent into a more valuable chemical would reduce emissions while creating a revenue […]

A New Sunlight Powered CO2 to Fuel System
July 2, 2014 | 1 Comment
Princeton University researchers have devised a more efficient method for harnessing sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into an alternative fuel precursor known as formic acid. The researchers in the laboratory of Andrew Bocarsly, a Princeton professor of chemistry, collaborated with start-up company Liquid Light Inc. of Monmouth Junction, N.J. The transformation from carbon dioxide and […]

Hydrogen Gas Stored as a Liquid and Back Again
June 3, 2014 | Leave a Comment
Scientists at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have designed a solution for transforming hydrogen gas into a less flammable liquid fuel that can be safely stored and transported and then returned to the gas state. The new technology has another application – the technology could be used with atmospheric carbon dioxide to synthesize a […]
