Argonne-led team develops new low-cost cobalt-based catalyst for PEM electrolysis

Green Car Congress

A multi-institutional team led by the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has developed a low-cost cobalt-based catalyst for the production of hydrogen in a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer (PEMWE). volts (Nafion 212 membrane) and low degradation in an accelerated stress test.

DGIST, PNNL team develops efficient, low-cost anode material for water electrolysis

Green Car Congress

A commercial Pt/C cathode-assisted, core–shell Co@NC–anode water electrolyzer delivers 10 mA cm ?2 V—70 mV lower than that of the IrO 2 –anode water electrolyzer. In electrocatalytic water splitting, oxygen gas generates in the anode due to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Researchers at S. 2 at a cell voltage of 1.59

Efficient recovery of lithium from spent LiFePO4 batteries via air oxidation–water leaching at room temperature

Green Car Congress

Researchers in China report using air oxidation–water leaching to recover lithium selectively from spent LiFePO 4 (LFP) material, in which the high leaching efficiency of lithium and the good separation effect of lithium and iron were achieved simultaneously. An open-access paper on their work is published in the RSC journal Green Chemistry.

Swiss team develops effective and low-cost solar water-splitting device; 14.2% solar-to-hydrogen efficiency

Green Car Congress

As the V OC of the presented c-Si cells is only ∼600 mV, four cells need to be connected in series to achieve stable water splitting performance. We demonstrate in this study that, thanks to their high V OC , three series-connected SHJ cells can already stably drive the water splitting reaction at unprecedented SHE. Schüttauf et al.

MIT Researchers Identify New Low-Cost Water-Splitting Catalyst

Green Car Congress

Daniel Nocera and his associates have found another formulation, based on inexpensive and widely available materials, that can efficiently catalyze the splitting of water molecules using electricity. Earlier post.). Materials for the new catalyst are even more abundant and inexpensive than those required for the first. Earlier post.)
