Cheaper Catalyst Generates Hydrogen In Commercial Devices
November 7, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have shown for the first time that a cheap catalyst can split water and generate hydrogen gas for hours on end in the harsh environment of a commercial device. The electrolyzer technology, which is based on a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM), has […]

New Catalyst Splits Water In Sunlight
August 15, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Lehigh University engineers have utilized a single enzyme biomineralization process to create a catalyst that uses the energy of captured sunlight to split water molecules to produce hydrogen. The synthesis process is performed at room temperature and under ambient pressure, overcoming the sustainability and scalability challenges of previously reported methods. Solar-driven water splitting is a […]

New Material Splits Water As It Cleans
November 7, 2018 | 2 Comments
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) researchers have developed a photocatalytic system based on a material in the class of metal-organic frameworks. The system can be used to degrade pollutants present in water while simultaneously producing hydrogen that can be captured and further used. Some of the most useful and versatile materials today are […]

New Perovskite Catalyst May Split Water
June 26, 2018 | Leave a Comment
University of Oxford researchers have found a new class of materials called halide double perovskites may have just the right properties to split water. In a process called photocatalytic water splitting, sunlight separates water into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen and oxygen can then be recombined in a fuel cell to release energy. According to […]

New Catalysts To Split Water For Hydrogen Fuel
November 1, 2017 | 4 Comments
Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) and URV researchers have designed a new catalyst that reduces the cost of electrolytic hydrogen production. The new catalysts reduce the amount of electricity needed to break the chemical bonds, speed up the reaction and minimize the energy waste. Galán-Mascarós explained, “Normally, hydrogen is obtained from using a […]
