Researchers Say Hydrogen Can Compete With Gasoline & Diesel
November 22, 2023 | 1 Comment
University of Houston energy researchers suggest hydrogen fuel can potentially be a cost-competitive and environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline and diesel, and that supplying hydrogen for transportation in the greater Houston area can be profitable today. The research team is offering a white paper titled “Competitive Pricing of Hydrogen as an Economic Alternative to Gasoline […]

There’s A Fly In Hydrogen Fuel Idea That Makes Methane
March 14, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Often heralded as the clean fuel of the future, new hydrogen research suggests that a leaky hydrogen infrastructure could end up increasing atmospheric methane levels. Hydrogen’s potential as a clean fuel could be limited by a chemical reaction in the lower atmosphere, which would cause decades-long climate consequences. The research from Princeton University and […]

Skipping Pretreatment And Still Make Hydrogen Fuel
February 7, 2023 | Leave a Comment
University of Adelaide’s Professor Shizhang Qiao and Associate Professor Yao Zheng from the School of Chemical Engineering led an international team that successfully split seawater without pre-treatment to produce green hydrogen. Professor Qiao said, “We have split natural seawater into oxygen and hydrogen with nearly 100 per cent efficiency, to produce green hydrogen by electrolysis, […]

Solar Cell Invented That Collects Water Produces Hydrogen
January 25, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne chemical engineers have invented a solar-powered artificial leaf, built on a novel electrode which is transparent and porous. The artificial leaf is capable of harvesting water from the atmosphere for conversion into hydrogen fuel. The semiconductor-based technology is scalable and easy to prepare. The paper reporting the results has been […]

Oxide And Carbon Based Materials Can Produce Clean Hydrogen
August 17, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Researchers at St John’s College, University of Cambridge designed devices made of readily available oxide and carbon-based materials that can produce clean hydrogen from water over weeks. The findings could help overcome one of the key issues in solar fuel production, where current earth-abundant light-absorbing materials are limited through either their performance or stability. The […]
