Stanford researchers make ammonia from air and water microdroplets

Green Car Congress

Water (H 2 O) microdroplets are sprayed onto a magnetic iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) and Nafion-coated graphite mesh using compressed N 2 or air as the nebulizing gas. This gas–liquid–solid heterogeneous catalytic system synthesizes ammonia in 0.2 The conversion rate reaches 32.9 ± 1.38 —Song et al.

volts (V) of water-splitting voltage with its novel low-cost electrolysis technology. Further, overcoming the corrosive degradation of these “artificial photosynthesis” systems remains a challenge and has thus far eluded commercialization. This hydrogen-oxygen gas mixture is potentially explosive and must be quickly separated.

Convert Oil Wells to Solve the Solar Storage Problem

Cars That Think

The California-based Hyperlight Energy will be piloting an installation where they plan to use existing oil wells as solar thermal wellsprings, with the stored energy being converted back to clean electricity when required. This can imply a long road to commercial success.” to test the concept for the first time.
