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

Green Car Congress

These layers are not molecularly bolted together like a metal but instead are loose enough to slide over one another, and with huge internal surface areas. —co-author Jeff Brinker, Sandia Fellow and University of New Mexico professor. MOS 2 exists as a stack of flat nanostructures. Water splitting is a challenging reaction.

Study Finds Availability of Low-CO2 Electricity and Hydrogen May Paradoxically Delay Large-Scale Transition to Electric and/or Hydrogen Vehicle Fleet

Green Car Congress

Increased availability of low CO 2 sources of electricity and hydrogen could counter-intuitively delay, rather than accelerate, a large-scale transition to an electric and/or hydrogen vehicle fleet, according to a new study by researchers from Ford Motor Company and Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden.
