Catalyst Makes Ammonia Into Clean Fuel
May 1, 2018 | 1 Comment
Kumamoto University researchers have succeeded in developing a new catalyst that burns NH3 at a low temperature and produces N2. The results are expected to offer a carbon free fuel and increased renewable energy use. Ammonia (NH3) has attracted attention in recent years as a carbon-free fuel that does not emit carbon dioxide. For use […]

Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have found a new solid protective coating material. Its an ultrathin layer of aluminum oxide, that’s solid, but can flow like a liquid instead of cracking. The solid oxide protective coating for metals can, when applied in sufficiently thin layers, deform as if it were a liquid, filling any cracks […]

New Polymer May Solve the Hydrogen Storage Problem
December 1, 2016 | Leave a Comment
A Waseda University research group has developed a hydrogen-carrying polymer, which can be molded as a tangible, safe, and compact plastic sheet. The Tokyo research group’s newly developed a polymer can store hydrogen in a light, compact and flexible sheet, and is safe to touch even when filled with hydrogen gas. Although research and development […]

Accidental Bubble Discovery Promises Safer Hydrogen Storage
November 11, 2015 | Leave a Comment
A New Mexico State University (NMSU) surprise discovery of a biopolymer that was capturing and storing hydrogen may speed the transformation to hydrogen as a major fuel source in the future. They call the substance Hydromer and are working on commercializing the polymer as coating material. The new material would allow for low maintenance costs […]

A New CO2 to Fuel Process
June 14, 2012 | 2 Comments
At the Freiburg Materials Research Center (FMR) a research team led by the chemist Prof. Dr. Ingo Krossing has developed a new system for producing methanol that uses CO2 and hydrogen. Substituting methanol can for example, be used as an environmentally friendly alternative for gasoline. The FMR team’s goal is to harness the power of […]
