New Catalysts for Hydrogen Production
April 19, 2018 | 3 Comments
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Ruhr-University Bochum (RUB) scientists have been able to observe the smallest details of hydrogen production with the synthetic mineral pentlandite. This makes it possible to develop strategies for the design of robust and cost-effective catalysts for hydrogen production. The working groups of Prof. Wolfgang Schuhmann and Dr. Ulf-Peter Apfel from the RUB and the […]

A New High Reported For Hydrogen Production
January 3, 2018 | 3 Comments
Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) scientists have introduced the highest reported electrochemical performance in hydrogen production. The joint research team’s Hybrid-Solid Electrolysis Cell (Hybrid-SOEC) system has attracted much attention as a new promising option for the cost-effective and highly efficient hydrogen production as it shows excellent performance compared with other water-electrolysis systems. […]

Hydrogen Production Made By Molybdenum Disulfide
April 13, 2016 | Leave a Comment
Scientists have created a molybdenum-based material that could be a low-cost alternative to platinum for splitting water to make hydrogen fuel. Sounds familiar because molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a common dry lubricant and an additive to lubrication oils and greases. The Department of Energy scientists showed that a microwave synthesis technique helps create the new […]

Hydrogen Production From Bacteria Discovered
November 12, 2015 | Leave a Comment
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) scientists have discovered that Cyanothece 51142, a type of bacteria also called blue-green algae, draws on a second source of energy, using sunlight and water directly to make hydrogen. Researchers already knew that 51142 makes hydrogen by drawing upon sugars that it has stored during growth. Finding that the organism […]
