Researchers led by engineers at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) have proposed a low-cost, cactus-inspired nickel-based material to help split water more cheaply and efficiently. Nickel, however, is not as quick and effective at breaking down water into hydrogen. who led the study. who led the study.

The use of 3D printing allows construction of light-weight, low-cost electrolyzers and the rapid prototyping of flow field design. Flow plates which separate each cell in the electrolyzer stack and which are machined with a flow path for circulation of the water. Source: Cronin et al. Click to enlarge. doi: 10.1039/C4EE01426J.

—principal investigator Marina Kalyuzhnaya To do this, the researchers will tap into the natural propensity of methane-consuming bacteria living in extreme conditions to capture REEs from the environment. The bacteria require rare earth elements to make one of the key enzymatic reactions in their metabolic pathways, said Kalyuzhnaya.
