Columbia team develops simple, low-cost, scaleable membraneless electrolyzer fabricated with 3D printing for H2 production

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Columbia University are investigating the use of membraneless electrochemical flow cells for hydrogen production from water electrolysis that are based on angled mesh flow-through electrodes. The high cost of electrolyzers arises from the high costs of individual components (e.g.,

Chinese researchers develop new alloy for on-board hydrogen production for fuel cells

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Tsinghua University have used a gallium, indium, tin and bismuth alloy to generate hydrogen, when placed in contact with an aluminum plate immersed in water. Hydrolysis of active metals is a widely known hydrogen production approach. The hydrogen is then used in a PEM fuel cell.
