New partnership to advance high-temperature PEM fuel cells; focus on heavy-duty applications

Green Car Congress

Artist’s concept of a heavy-duty vehicle equipped with high-temperature proton exchange membrane (HT-PEM) fuel cells. HT-PEM fuel cell technology would allow heavy-duty and other hard-to-decarbonize applications to operate with high efficiency while using hydrogen and mitigating water management problems.

Japan team reports pathway to green ammonia: photocatalytic conversion of nitrogen with water

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Japan report that a commercially available TiO 2 with a large number of surface oxygen vacancies, when photo-irradiated by UV light in pure water with nitrogen—successfully produces ammonia (NH 3 ). As a result of this, NH 3 is produced from water and N 2 under ambient conditions by using sunlight as energy source.

NREL shows graded catalytic-protective layer boosts longevity of high-efficiency photocathodes for renewable hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed a method which boosts the longevity of high-efficiency photocathodes in photoelectrochemical water-splitting devices. A PEC cell absorbs sunlight and converts that energy into hydrogen and oxygen by splitting water molecules.
