USC team finds Li-Al nanoparticles produce hydrogen from water with high rate and yield; potential for industrial scaling

Green Car Congress

Aluminum and water react exothermically to form aluminum hydroxide and hydrogen; this basic property has lured numerous researchers interested in generating hydrogen from the aluminum-water reaction for modern transportation systems for at least 35 years.

Swiss team develops effective and low-cost solar water-splitting device; 14.2% solar-to-hydrogen efficiency

Green Car Congress

Their high production volumes have largely contributed to a price drop of 80% since 2008, currently reaching levels below $1 per watt peak. Recently, c-Si modules have been implemented in solar-hydrogen devices, demonstrating SHE [solar-to-hydrogen efficiency] of 9.7%. Schematic overview of the solar-driven hydrogen generator.

MIT Researchers Identify New Low-Cost Water-Splitting Catalyst

Green Car Congress

Daniel Nocera and his associates have found another formulation, based on inexpensive and widely available materials, that can efficiently catalyze the splitting of water molecules using electricity. But in further work, “ we have totally gotten rid of the platinum of the hydrogen side ,” Nocera says. Earlier post.). Earlier post.)
