Highly efficient nickel-iron/nickel foam electrode for OER in water-splitting

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the University of New South Wales (Australia) have developed a highly efficient electrode for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in water-splitting that has the potential to be scaled up for industrial production of hydrogen. water electrolysis at large current. water electrolysis at large current.

NREL researchers capture excess photon energy to produce solar fuels; higher efficiency water-splitting for H2

Green Car Congress

The advancement could significantly boost the production of hydrogen from sunlight by using the cell to split water at a higher efficiency and lower cost than current photoelectrochemical approaches. The research is outlined in a paper in Nature Energy. Marshall, John A. Turner & Matthew C. Semonin, Joseph M. Nozik, Matthew C. 1209845.

The difference between kW and kWh | EV Basics

Setec Powerr

So, a kWh refers to the amount of 1000 watts of energy your household consumes per hour. And kWh refers to how much energy a vehicle can store. The large larger the diameter, the more water can flow through at a given time. So, you will understand electric vehicles more clearly after reading this article.

EV myths busted: Are electric vehicles safer than gas-powered cars?

Drive Electric

Throughout this article, we’ll refer to ICEVs and EVs; here’s a quick breakdown explaining the difference between the two. Water is no problem when it comes to EVs. Due to battery insulation, EVs can safely drive through water and hold no electric shock when wet. What happens if water does get into the battery.

Heating Buildings With Solar Energy Stored in Sand

Cars That Think

This sponsored article is brought to you by COMSOL. The system uses electricity to heat air, which is then circulated through an exchanger that heats water and distributes it to multiple buildings in the city’s Hiedanranta district (Figure 2). There is only so much heat you can add to water before it becomes steam,” says Eronen.
