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. millimoles per gram at 1 bar), fast adsorption time (less than 1 minute), low price, and extraordinary stability to cycling by flue gas.

Penn State, FSU team develops low-cost, efficient layered heterostructure catalyst for water-splitting

Green Car Congress

A team of scientists from Penn State and Florida State University have developed a lower cost and industrially scalable catalyst consisting of synthesized stacked graphene and W x Mo 1–x S 2 alloy phases that produces pure hydrogen through a low-energy water-splitting process.

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

Green Car Congress

The improved catalyst has already released four times the amount of hydrogen ever produced by MoS 2 from water. The idea was to understand the changes in the molecular structure of molybdenum disulfide, so that it can be a better catalyst for hydrogen production: closer to platinum in efficiency, but earth-abundant and cheap.

KAUST team alters atomic composition of MoS2 to boost performance as water-splitting catalyst for H2 production

Green Car Congress

Researchers at KAUST have developed and used a novel way of increasing the chemical reactivity of a two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide material to produce a cheap and effective catalyst for water splitting to produce hydrogen. This technique may also have potential benefits for other manufacturing industries. Source: KAUST.

Furthermore, this electrode permits higher charging voltages by suppressing the parasitic water-splitting reactions. These features lower the capital cost of storage chemicals per kilowatt hour, which sets a floor on the ultimate system cost per kilowatt hour at any scale. —Michael J. Commercialization.

BNEF report finds hydrogen promising decarbonization pathway, but carbon prices and emissions policies required

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen Economy Outlook , a new and independent global study from research firm BloombergNEF (BNEF), finds that clean hydrogen could be deployed in the decades to come to cut up to 34% of global greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and industry at a manageable cost. Abatement cost with hydrogen at $1/kg (7.4/MMBtu).
