Nanodiamonds enable efficient hydrogen purification

Green Car Congress

In a study published in Nature Energy , researchers led by Kyoto University’s Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) describe how nanodiamond-reinforced composite membranes can purify hydrogen from its humid mixtures, making the hydrogen generation processes more efficient and cost-effective.

Researchers provide evidence for spillover effect in activated carbon systems for hydrogen storage

Green Car Congress

An MIT-led team of researchers from Taiwan and the US have successfully analyzed the performance of a class of materials considered a promising candidate for hydrogen storage: activated carbon that incorporates a platinum catalyst, allowing the hydrogen atoms can bond directly to the surface of carbon particles and then be released when needed.

Taiwan’s ITRI introduces cellulosic bio-butanol production technology; pathway with highest carbon conversion yield

Green Car Congress

ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute), a Taiwan-based high-tech applied research institution, is introducing ButyFix, a technology for cellulosic bio-butanol production with a negative carbon footprint. g/g-sugar, which is 94% of carbon conversion yield. This carbon yield is 2.67 total sugar yield.

UK Carbon Trust report says fuel cell vehicles could take more than 30% of mid-sized car market by 2050

Green Car Congress

Ranges of automotive fuel cell system costs at mass manufactured volume using technology from three UK companies supported by the Carbon Trust. Source: Carbon Trust. It would also reduce global carbon emissions from vehicles by an additional 260 million tonnes per year by 2050—equivalent to the current annual emissions of Taiwan.

Stanford team reports new low-cost, non-precious metal catalyst for water splitting with performance close to platinum

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Stanford University, with colleagues at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and other institutions, have developed a nickel-based electrocatalyst for low-cost water-splitting for hydrogen production with performance close to that of much more expensive commercial platinum electrocatalysts. Catalysts Hydrogen Production'
