Nanodiamonds Can Clear Humidity From Hydrogen Production
January 18, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Kyoto University researchers have described how nanodiamond-reinforced composite membranes can purify hydrogen from its humid mixtures, making the hydrogen generation processes vastly more efficient and cost-effective. Hydrogen, a clean-burning fuel, leaves nothing but water when combusted. Many countries view hydrogen as a way to a zero-carbon future, but switching to a hydrogen economy requires its […]

Advanced Catalyst Find Produces Hydrogen At High Efficiency
January 12, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Oregon State University research shows that hydrogen can be cleanly produced with much greater efficiency and at a lower cost. The new research into the design of catalysts offers a lower cost than is possible with current commercially available catalysts. The new findings, which describe ways to design catalysts that can greatly improve the efficiency […]

One More Step to Cheaper Hydrogen Production
August 12, 2021 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Penn State researchers report that they have taken a step toward overcoming the challenge of inexpensive hydrogen production. They report to have taken the step by using supercomputers to find materials that could help accelerate hydrogen separation when water is exposed to light, a process called photocatalysis. Using solar energy to inexpensively harvest hydrogen […]

Buoyancy Drives Hydrogen Convection For Mass Production
December 15, 2020 | Leave a Comment
A Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin team has now presented a method to visualize convection in the electrolyte and to reliably simulate it in advance with a multiphysics model. Hydrogen produced by using solar energy could contribute to a climate neutral energy system of the future. But there are hurdles on the way from laboratory scale to large-scale […]
