Sandia team boosts hydrogen production activity by molybdenum disulfide four-fold; low-cost catalyst for solar-driven water splitting

Green Car Congress

Nevertheless, because of the scarcity and cost of Pt, a more abundant alternative is needed for cost-effective implementation. The Texas Advanced Computing Center also added value. The most common example of this is platinum (Pt), which has served as the benchmark catalyst for HER due to its high catalytic efficiency.

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity. This research article focuses on a highly favored route to the synthesis of controlled nanostructures at high rate, high yield, and low cost by molten carbonate electrolysis.

Mattershift scales up CNT membranes; potential for zero-carbon fuels for less than fossil

Green Car Congress

For 20 years, researchers have shown that CNT membranes offer tremendous promise for a wide variety of uses including the low-cost production of ethanol fuel, precision drug delivery, low-energy desalination of seawater, purification of pharmaceutical compounds, and high-performance catalysis for the production of fuels.

How Ted Hoff Invented the First Microprocessor

Cars That Think

This article was first published as “Marcian E Hoff.” Busicom had hired Intel to develop a set of custom chips for a low-cost calculator and had sent three engineers to Santa Clara to work on the chip designs. San Antonio, Texas, which, architected by Computer Terminals, was named the 8008. You’re crazy.”
