Mathematically-designed graphene has improved electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

An international research group has improved graphene’s ability to catalyze the hydrogen evolution reaction, which releases hydrogen as a result of passing an electronic current through water. The graphene-based electrocatalyst was then used to enhance the release of hydrogen during electrolysis. Resources. Kumatani, C.

Fraunhofer analysis finds battery-electric trucks have energy cost advantage over hydrogen trucks

Green Car Congress

The decisive factor for the switch to battery-electric vehicles is the energy cost advantage compared to hydrogen and diesel. Electricity and hydrogen are the two key energy carriers for a low-carbon future, and hydrogen will play a vital role in industry, shipping and synthetic aviation fuels. Plötz (2022).

Photocatalytic optical fibers convert water into hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Southampton have transformed optical fibers into photocatalytic microreactors that convert water into hydrogen fuel using solar energy. The microstructured optical fiber canes (MOFCs) with photocatalyst generate hydrogen that could power a wide range of sustainable applications. Potter, Daniel J.

Researchers develop highly efficient organometal halide perovskite photoelectrodes for water splitting

Green Car Congress

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting based on solar energy is one promising approach for the production of green hydrogen. The novel photoanodes suppress the undesirable internal and external losses associated with photoelectrochemical water splitting, resulting in an unprecedented photon-to-current conversion efficiency of 12.79%.
