Penn team proposes liquid-organic hydrogen carriers as endothermic fuels for hypersonic aircraft

Green Car Congress

A team at the University of Pennsylvania is proposing the use of a liquid-organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC)—specifically, 1,2,3,4 -tetrahydroquinoline (THQ)—for use as an endothermic fuel for thermal protection of hypersonic aircraft engines. 1 were obtained, with conversions greater than 80% at 600 °C.

Monash team proposes roadmap to renewable ammonia economy; 3 generations of technology

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Monash University in Australia are proposing a roadmap to renewable ammonia being produced in the future at a scale that is significant in terms of global fossil fuel use. Generation 2 moves the Haber-Bosch process to renewable sources of hydrogen. Ammonia production is currently responsible for ~1.0% Generation 2.

Oxford Team Outlines Progress and Potential in CO2 Capture and Conversion to Synthetic Transportation Fuels

Green Car Congress

The authors highlight three possible strategies for CO 2 conversion by physico-chemical approaches: sustainable (or renewable) synthetic methanol; syngas production derived from flue gases from coal-, gas- or oil-fired electric power stations; and photochemical production of synthetic fuels. This same analysis (Pearson et al.

Copper foam catalyst yields different product slate from CO2 than smooth electrodes; importance of catalyst architecture

Green Car Congress

A catalyst made from a foamy form of copper has different electrochemical properties from catalysts made with smooth copper in reactions involving carbon dioxide, according to a new study by a team from Brown University. The foams are made by depositing copper on a surface in the presence of hydrogen and a strong electric current.

Cobalt-doped graphdiyne catalyst for catalytically decomposing ammonia to hydrogen

Green Car Congress

A team from Nanjing University, Hubei Normal University and Zhejiang University has developed a cobalt-doped graphdiyne catalyst for catalytically decomposing ammonia (NH 3 ) to generate H 2. Ammonia is by its nature a high-density hydrogen carrier. —Liu et al.
