million metric tons of electronic waste in 2019, up more than 21% over five years, according to the United Nations’ most recent assessment. Only about 17% of that e-waste was recycled, and what happens to the rest can be detrimental for both human health and privacy. The world generated a record 53.6 We have so, so, so many devices.

H 2 and O 2 are produced by deforming a ZnO fiber or BaTiO 3 dendrite in water via oxidation-reduction reactions. They then applied the PZEC effect to generate hydrogen and oxygen via direct water splitting. The mechanism of the water decomposition via the PZEC effect relies on the piezoelectric properties of the materials.

A team at the University of Leeds (UK) is investigating hydrogen production from waste tires using a two-stage pyrolysis-gasification reactor and Ni-Mg-Al (1:1:1) catalyst. The generation rate of waste tires is increasing, especially with the continued increase in production of cars and trucks, the authors note.

I live in Manitoba , a province of Canada where all but a tiny fraction of electricity is generated from the potential energy of water. The manufacture of solar panels involves the environmental costs from mining, waste disposal, and carbon emissions. There is thus no longer a place for Big Hydro in the pantheon of electric greenery.

By increasing the operational flexibility, this class of fuel cell can simplify the requirements for heat and water management, and potentially reduce the costs associated with the existing fully functional fuel cell systems, the researchers said. Further, this means that the operating temperature can’t get higher than water’s boiling point.

By increasing the operational flexibility, this class of fuel cell can simplify the requirements for heat and water management, and potentially reduce the costs associated with the existing fully functional fuel cell systems. There’s a huge benefit to running fuel cells at the widest possible operating temperature with water tolerance.
