UNSW Sydney team develops inexpensive water-splitting catalyst using 2D MOF framework array

Green Car Congress

UNSW Sydney chemists have fabricated a new, inexpensive catalyst for water splitting based on an ultrathin nanosheet array of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on different substrates. Unexpectedly, the integrated MOF electrodes demonstrate superior performances towards OER, HER and overall water splitting. —Duan et al.

Pilot Project Sends Kelp–and Carbon–to the Seafloor

Cars That Think

Last January, in the waters off Cebu City in the Philippines, researchers first deployed a huge flexible ring seeded with seaweed and spanned by spokelike ropes and tubes. Every nightfall, cranks mounted on a floating platform lower the ring 25 meters below the surface to expose the seaweed to cooler, more nutrient-rich water.
