BNL Researchers develop low-cost, efficient, non-noble metal electrocatalyst to produce hydrogen from water

Green Car Congress

James Muckerman at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) have developed a new class of high-activity, low-cost, non-noble metal electrocatalyst that generates hydrogen gas from water. The result becomes this well-balanced Goldilocks compound—just right. —James Muckerman.

PNNL team develops new low-cost method to convert captured CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

By using a water-lean post-combustion capture solvent, (N-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3-morpholinopropan-1-amine) (2-EEMPA), they achieved a greater than 90% conversion of captured CO 2 to hydrocarbons—mostly methane—in the presence of a heterogenous Ru catalyst under relatively mild reaction conditions (170 °C and 2 pressure).

Researchers demonstrate use of 3D printing to produce and operate light-weight, low-cost electrolyzers

Green Car Congress

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. —Cronin et al.

UNC team synthesizes silicon nanowires that split water

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the University of North Carolina have synthesized high-photovoltage multijunction Si nanowires (SiNWs) that are co-functionalized to split water catalytically. When integrated with the co-catalysts and suspended in water, these light-activated nanoreactors produced hydrogen gas under visible and infrared light.

MIT team outlines path to low-cost solar-to-fuels devices; the artificial leaf

Green Car Congress

The new analysis follows up on 2011 research that produced a proof of concept of an artificial leaf—a small device that, when placed in a container of water and exposed to sunlight, would produce bubbles of hydrogen and oxygen. The voltage produced by a standard silicon solar cell, about 0.7 Earlier post.) —Winkler et al.
