Prototype sodium silicate hydrogen generation system as presented earlier this year at DOE merit review. The H300 utilizes real-time swappable cartridges that generate hydrogen on demand using SiGNa’s proprietary sodium silicide (NaSi) powder. Sodium-Silica-Gel: 2Na-SG + H 2 O → H 2 + Na 2 Si 2 O 5.

The researchers tested the catalysts with seawater drawn from Galveston Bay off the Texas coast. The catalysts were integrated into a two-electrode alkaline electrolyzer, which can be powered by waste heat via a thermoelectric device or by an AA battery. The work is described in an open-access paper in Nature Communications.

For example, the mineral requirements for an EV’s batteries and electric motors are six times that of an ICE vehicle, which can increase the average weight of an EV by 340 kgs (750 pounds). EVs require automakers to design new manufacturing processes and build plants to make both EVs and their batteries. Ford and its.
