Process for Hydrogen Production from Sodium Sulfite Solutions Resulting from Capture of SO2 from Coal Flue Gas

Green Car Congress

A typical example is the use of a dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution to absorb SO 2 from flue gas, forming an aqueous Na 2 SO 3 solution. Alternatively, oxidation of an aqueous Na 2 SO 3 solution can be carried out for the production of high purity clean hydrogen fuel. Article ASAP doi: 10.1021/es903766w.

New mesoporous crystalline Si exhibits increased rate of H2 production; potential use in Li-ion batteries also

Green Car Congress

The nanosized crystalline primary particles and high surface areas enable an increased rate of photocatalytic hydrogen production from water and extended working life. They then treat the material with a sodium potassium alloy. Micrograph of mesoporous silicon with sodium chloride and potassium chloride salts embedded in the matrix.

Researchers Show Carbon Nanostructures Can Function as Catalysts for Solid-State Hydrogen Storage

Green Car Congress

Two pressures used for the rehydriding step (which affects the amount of hydrogen desorbed in the second cycle) are highlighted by color: high pressure experiments are blue; lower pressure experiments are red. Among these, the researchers noted, sodium aluminum hydride (NaAlH 4 ) is the most widely studied material. Credit: ACS.

Lamborghini licenses MIT’s Cobalt-free organic battery tech for EVs – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Within the molecules are chemical groups called quinones, which are the electron reservoirs, and amines, which help the material to form strong hydrogen bonds, explained the study published in the journal ACS Central Science. These layers can extend outward in every direction, forming a structure similar to graphite.

Debunking the Lithium "Mining" FUD

Plug In India

Team PluginIndia The Lithium mining FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) created by some paid media organizations and random YouTube channels is so bad, that many people read headlines of such articles and assume that Lithium mining is the worst thing in the world and is worse than extracting and refining 10,000 liters of oil used by an average ICE car.

Energy storage: the key to a decarbonised future

Setec Powerr

This article will answer your confusion. Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. Energy storage with hydrogen, which is still emerging, would involve its conversion from electricity via electrolysis for storage in tanks. So what exactly is energy storage?
