Spanish team develops microwave-induced electrolysis at low temperatures for H2 production

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Spain have developed hydrogen production without contact electrodes via water electrolysis mediated by the microwave-triggered redox activation of solid-state ionic materials at low temperatures ( Nature Energy. The microwave-driven reduction was identified by an instantaneous electrical conductivity rise and O 2 release.

Thermal Solar Goes Where PVs Can’t

Cars That Think

Global solar energy supplies are growing rapidly, with nearly 10 times as much solar capacity installed today as there was a decade ago. Leading the boom is the photovoltaic (PV) panel, which converts sunlight into electricity using semiconductors. The first utility-scale solar-thermal plants were built in the 1980s.

All eyes these days may be on Elon Musk's space venture—which has just put people in orbit —but here on Earth you can now get your monthly electric bill courtesy of a different Musk enterprise. Being able to get a Tesla-backed power bill in the mailbox, though—that's grabbing attention. kWh battery wall unit.
