Researchers demonstrate new nickel selenide catalyst for more efficient water splitting

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers from Missouri University of Science and Technology and National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in Greece have developed a highly efficient transition metal selenide-based coordination complex, [Ni{(SePiPr 2 ) 2 N} 2 ] for oxygen evolution and hydrogen evolution reactions (OER and HER, respectively) in alkaline solution.

DLR-led NEMESIS 2+ project develops compact direct steam reformer for diesel/biodiesel to H2

Green Car Congress

A techno-economic evaluation, which was also carried out during the EU project, determined maximal production costs of €5.80 Using liquid feedstock in combination with steam reforming technology allows for operating the system at high pressures of 12 bars resulting in significantly reduced system size and hydrogen production costs.

Powering Offshore Wind Farms With Numerical Modeling of Subsea Cables

Cars That Think

Installation and maintenance is easier to accomplish in shallow waters. This creates a new need for well-designed subsea cables that can reach longer distances, survive in deeper waters, and better connect our world with sustainable power. Losses The conductor size of a subsea or terrestrial cable affects the cost of the cable system.
