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

Green Car Congress

These layers are not molecularly bolted together like a metal but instead are loose enough to slide over one another, and with huge internal surface areas. Molly is dirt cheap and abundant. MOS 2 exists as a stack of flat nanostructures. —Stan Chou. People want a non-platinum catalyst. Chou, Na Sai, Ping Lu, Eric N.

PNNL team develops bio-inspired iron-based catalyst for hydrogen fuel cells

Green Car Congress

Electricity is produced from the oxidation of hydrogen in low-temperature fuel cells, but the best catalyst is platinum, a precious metal of low abundance. A burgeoning effort by chemists studying many areas of catalysis has focused on ‘cheap metals for noble tasks’. Tianbiao Liu, Daniel L. DuBois and R.

STFC Rutherford Appleton Lab spin-off seeking to develop and commercialize a novel solid-state hydrogen storage technology; transportation applications

Green Car Congress

The material could allow hydrogen to be stored in a cheap and practical way for transport applications, the company says. The hydrogen buffer is maintained at a pressure suitable for the internal combustion engine ICE or fuel cell and which is sufficient in volume to be able to restart the vehicle. Bennington, Derek W. Jenkins, Kate R.

MIT/Tsinghua high-rate aluminum yolk-shell nanoparticle anode for Li-ion battery with long cycle life and high capacity

Green Car Congress

Aluminium should be an attractive anode material for rechargeable Li-ion batteries for many reasons, such as low cost (~$2,000 ton −1 ), high theoretical capacity (2,235 mAh g −1 if Li 9 Al 4 , low potential plateau (~0.19–0.45 V V against Li + /Li 3 ), high electrical conductivity and so on. Earlier post.).
