High-entropy oxide as high-activity electrocatalyst for water oxidation

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the University of Twente in The Netherlands have developed a new high-entropy perovskite oxide (HEO) as a high-activity electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER)—the key kinetically limiting half-reaction in several electrochemical energy conversion technologies, including green hydrogen generation.

New process uses localized surface plasmons for room-temperature conversion of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

The conversion normally requires significant amounts of energy in the form of high heat—a temperature of at least 700 ?C, Carbon monoxide readily combines with hydrogen to produce essential hydrocarbon compounds, such as methane and ethanol, that are often used in industry, said NIST researcher Renu Sharma.

Toyota and DIFFER partner on direct solar production of hydrogen from humid air, rather than water

Green Car Congress

The Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research ( DIFFER ) is partnering with Toyota Motor Europe (TME) to develop a device that absorbs water vapor, and splits it into hydrogen and oxygen directly using solar energy. In this project, DIFFER and TME are exploring an innovative way to produce hydrogen directly out of humid air.

H2morrow steel concludes feasibility study of blue hydrogen for steel mill; partners to continue cooperation

Green Car Congress

The study finds that the decarbonized production and supply of “blue” hydrogen from natural gas to Germany’s largest steel plant in Duisburg is technically feasible. The partners are convinced that blue hydrogen as a reliable and available technology has the potential to ramp up the European hydrogen market.
