USC team finds Li-Al nanoparticles produce hydrogen from water with high rate and yield; potential for industrial scaling

Green Car Congress

Aluminum and water react exothermically to form aluminum hydroxide and hydrogen; this basic property has lured numerous researchers interested in generating hydrogen from the aluminum-water reaction for modern transportation systems for at least 35 years. This is one of the key barriers in aluminum-water technology. C, 326.85 ?C

Swiss team develops effective and low-cost solar water-splitting device; 14.2% solar-to-hydrogen efficiency

Green Car Congress

Their high production volumes have largely contributed to a price drop of 80% since 2008, currently reaching levels below $1 per watt peak. As the V OC of the presented c-Si cells is only ∼600 mV, four cells need to be connected in series to achieve stable water splitting performance. Schüttauf et al. Jan-Willem Schüttauf, Miguel A.
