A team of researchers at MIT is developing and testing a new silicon carbide (SiC) cladding material for nuclear fuel rods that could reduce the risk of hydrogen production by roughly a thousandfold compared to the common zircaloy cladding. SiC is “ very promising, but not at the moment ready for adoption ” by the nuclear industry, he adds.

Researchers at MIT have found a way to use thermophotovoltaic devices—solid-state devices that use the sun’s heat, usually concentrated with mirrors, to generate electricity directly—without mirrors to concentrate sunlight, potentially making the system much simpler and less expensive. similar to the greenhouse effect).

A team of MIT researchers lead by Prof. John Goodenough from the University of Texas as Austin, has found one of the most effective catalysts yet discovered for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for use in water-splitting to produce hydrogen or in rechargeable metal-air batteries. Yang Shao-Horn, in collaboration with Prof.
