Engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have created new ceramic materials that could be used to store hydrogen safely and efficiently. They also have demonstrated that the compounds could be manufactured using a simple, low-cost manufacturing method known as combustion synthesis. Click to enlarge.

In a paper published in Nature Communications , the researchers suggest that this simple hybrid concept may also provide scientific strategies for protecting metal anodes in other energy-storage devices. Sulphur is also of low cost, and is abundant and non-toxic, making this system attractive for large-scale applications.

Rahman cited the Eemshaven ultrasupercritical plant , in Groningen, Netherlands—which was built in 2014. Another method to make coal-fired power plants more environmentally friendly is to capture the exhausted carbon dioxide and store it in the ground, Rahman said. It results in higher efficiencies: about 46 percent.
