Researchers produce green syngas using CO2, water and sunlight

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the University of Michigan and McGill University in Canada report photochemical syngas synthesis using a core/shell Au@Cr 2 O 3 dual cocatalyst in coordination with multistacked InGaN/GaN nanowires (NWs) with the sole inputs of CO 2 , water, and solar light.

New stable water-splitting catalyst doesn’t require expensive iridium

Green Car Congress

Researchers have developed a nickel-stabilized, ruthenium dioxide (Ni-RuO 2 ) anode catalyst for proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis. The Ni-RuO 2 catalyst shows high activity and durability in acidic OER for PEM water electrolysis. Boyang Li of the University of Pittsburgh is co-lead author of the paper.

Novel inexpensive cobalt-nickel electrode for efficient water and urea electrolysis; yolk-shell nanoparticles

Green Car Congress

Both half reactions of water electrolysis—hydrogen and oxygen evolution—are unfortunately slow and require a lot of power. The material can be used as either an anode or a cathode, and demonstrates high activity and stability in the production of hydrogen and oxygen in the electrolysis of water. Zhang, S.L., and Lou, X.W.
