Researchers at the University of Queensland have show that a low-cost Mg-based hydrogen storage alloy is possible with only 1 wt% Si. Mg 2 Si is a promising catalyst for Mg-based hydrogen storage materials due to its low cost, light weight, and non-toxic properties. A high hydrogen capacity of 6.72

Rice University researchers have created an efficient, low-cost device that splits water to produce hydrogen fuel. The module developed at Rice University can be immersed into water directly to produce fuel when exposed to sunlight. Perovskites are crystals with cubelike lattices that are known to harvest light.

A team at the University of Glasgow has demonstrated the production and operation of a PEM electrolyzer constructed from silver-coated 3D-printed components fabricated from polypropylene. The use of 3D printing allows construction of light-weight, low-cost electrolyzers and the rapid prototyping of flow field design.

Researchers from the University of Houston (UH) have developed a cobalt(II) oxide (CoO) nanocrystalline catalyst that can carry out overall water splitting with a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of around 5%. Different sources of light were used, ranging from a laser to white light simulating the solar spectrum.

When illuminated with light-emitting diodes rather than lasers, the photocatalytic efficiencies remain comparable, even when the scale of reaction increases by nearly three orders of magnitude. Unlike traditional catalysts, it doesn’t require heat; it harvests energy from light. —co-author Naomi Halas.

The Pd-islands (light-brown spheres) are embedded in an environment of tungsten (blue spheres). Source: Umeå University. Considering the cost, it would be 40 times lower. —Thomas Wågberg, Senior lecturer, Department of Physics, Umeå University. A schematic model of the unique morphology of the alloy.
