Argonne-led team develops new low-cost cobalt-based catalyst for PEM electrolysis

Green Car Congress

A multi-institutional team led by the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has developed a low-cost cobalt-based catalyst for the production of hydrogen in a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer (PEMWE). volts (Nafion 212 membrane) and low degradation in an accelerated stress test.

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

Green Car Congress

Earlier this year, PNNL researchers revealed that using EEMPA in power plants could slash the price of carbon capture to 19% lower than standard industry costs—the lowest documented price of carbon capture. However, most processes rely on high temperatures and are often too expensive for widespread commercial use. Heldebrant, D.,

UH team develops fast, cost-efficient method to grow OER catalyst for seawater splitting

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers led by Zhifeng Ren, director of the Texas Center for Superconductivity at the University of Houston, has developed an oxygen-evolving catalyst that takes just minutes to grow at room temperature on commercially available nickel foam. That requires substantial amounts of energy and drives up the cost.
