ASU and Argonne researchers report progress on artificial leaf for solar conversion of water to H2 and O2

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Arizona State University and Argonne National Laboratory reported advances toward perfecting a functional artificial leaf in a paper in Nature Chemistry. hydrogen and oxygen. This was an unusually short bond between a hydrogen atom and a nitrogen atom that facilitates the correct working of the relay.

Is aviation the best application yet for hydrogen fuel cells?

Charged EVs

His new company, ZeroAvia, is developing an aircraft powertrain energized by hydrogen fuel cells. Last September, ZeroAvia successfully completed a test flight of a commercial-scale fuel cell-powered aircraft. You have to build the battery powertrain first, and add the fuel cell system. That’s when we started.

Bio-inspired H2-Evolving Nickel Catalyst Shows Promise for Fuel Cells; Step Toward Practical Electrode Based on Earth-Abundant Materials

Green Car Congress

Used as a cathode in a fuel cell, the high-surface area material exhibits high catalytic activity under the strongly acidic conditions required in proton exchange membrane technology. Electrolyzers and fuel cells based on hydrogen provide one route for energy storage, which is critical for widespread implementation.
