Researchers develop highly efficient organometal halide perovskite photoelectrodes for water splitting

Green Car Congress

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting based on solar energy is one promising approach for the production of green hydrogen. However, its widespread application is limited by a lack of efficient photoanodes for catalyzing the rate-limiting oxygen evolution reaction (OER), an important reaction in PEC water splitting.

New liquid hydrogen carrier would transport green H2 from Scotland to Germany

Green Car Congress

C-Job Naval Architects has designed a new class of liquid hydrogen tanker in partnership with LH2 Europe. The new tanker will transport the liquid hydrogen to terminals in Germany, with a strategic vision to expand supply to other markets as demand increases. Liquid hydrogen provides unique challenges in ship design and engineering.

Study finds direct seawater splitting has substantial drawbacks to conventional water splitting, offers almost no advantage

Green Car Congress

A study by a team of researchers from Technische Universität Berlin (TUB) and Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft has found that direct seawater splitting for hydrogen production has substantial drawbacks compared to conventional water splitting and offers almost no advantage. Additionally, H 2 O is needed for water splitting.

Study finds the wettability of porous electrode surfaces is key to making efficient water-splitting or carbon-capturing systems

Green Car Congress

As water-splitting technologies improve, often using porous electrode materials to provide greater surface areas for electrochemical reactions, their efficiency is often limited by the formation of bubbles that can block or clog the reactive surfaces. As a result, there were substantial changes of the transport overpotential.
