New photocatalytic system converts carbon dioxide to valuable fuel more efficiently than natural photosynthesis

Green Car Congress

A hierarchical self-assembly photocatalytic system (left) mimics the natural photosynthesis apparatus of a purple bacteria, called Rhodobacter sphaeroides (right), achieving 15% solar-to-fuel efficiency when converting carbon dioxide into methane. It mimics the structure of a purple bacteria’s light-harvesting chromatophores (i.e.

Proton OnSite achieves hydrogen gas production at 5,000 psi without a compressor

Green Car Congress

Proton OnSite’s latest project with the US Department of Energy (DOE) has yielded a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer stack that can produce hydrogen gas at the pressure required to fuel a vehicle, without the need for a compressor. Proton OnSite began collaborating with the DOE in February 2010 on Phase I of the project.
