Stanford researchers make ammonia from air and water microdroplets

Green Car Congress

Stanford researchers, with a colleague from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, have developed a simple and environmentally sound way to make ammonia with tiny droplets of water and nitrogen from the air. Water microdroplets are the hydrogen source for N 2 in contact with Fe 3 O 4. The conversion rate reaches 32.9 ± 1.38

Researchers use melamine to create effective, low-cost carbon capture; potential tailpipe application

Green Car Congress

Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine, researchers from UC Berkeley, Texas A&M and Stanford have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks. We distinguished ammonium carbamate pairs and a mix of ammonium carbamate and carbamic acid during carbon dioxide chemisorption.

PNNL team develops new low-cost method to convert captured CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a new method to convert captured CO 2 into methane, the primary component of natural gas. But these traditional solvents have relatively high water content, making methane conversion difficult. —Heldebrant et al. Heldebrant, D.,

DGIST, PNNL team develops efficient, low-cost anode material for water electrolysis

Green Car Congress

A commercial Pt/C cathode-assisted, core–shell Co@NC–anode water electrolyzer delivers 10 mA cm ?2 V—70 mV lower than that of the IrO 2 –anode water electrolyzer. A paper on the work is published in the journal Advanced Energy Materials. Researchers at S. 2 and has a durability of more than 400 h.
