SwRI, UTSA researchers show biochar is low-cost, effective method to treat fracking water

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) have determined that biochar, a substance produced from plant matter, is a safe, effective and inexpensive method to treat flowback water following hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. —Maoqi Feng, SwRI.

If the cell is damaged (mechanically, overcharging, external heat), the separator breaks and a short circuit occurs, releasing all the stored energy (electrical as well as chemical) in the form of an enormous heat build-up, the so-called thermal runaway, followed by a fire. A normal pressure pump is sufficient for the supply of water.

U Toronto and Fujitsu team use quantum-inspired computing to discover improved catalyst for hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Scaling up the production of what we call green hydrogen is a priority for researchers around the world because it offers a carbon-free way to store electricity from any source. Green hydrogen is a carbon-free method that uses an electrolyzer to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gas. Choubisa et al.

Swiss team develops effective and low-cost solar water-splitting device; 14.2% solar-to-hydrogen efficiency

Green Car Congress

As the V OC of the presented c-Si cells is only ∼600 mV, four cells need to be connected in series to achieve stable water splitting performance. We demonstrate in this study that, thanks to their high V OC , three series-connected SHJ cells can already stably drive the water splitting reaction at unprecedented SHE.
