Electrocatalyst nanostructures key to improved fuel cells, electrolyzers
07-Jun-2017
Purdue University scientists' simulations have unraveled the mystery of a new electrocatalyst that may solve a significant problem associated with fuel cells and electrolyzers. Fuel cells, which use chemical reactions to produce energy, and electrolyzers, which convert energy into hydrogen or ...
Reducing platinum need for electrocatalysts
Promising results obtained with a new electrocatalyst
27-Mar-2017
Platinum is a very expensive metal and it is therefore one of the bottlenecks hindering the growth of renewable energy. Platinum is used as the catalyst in electrolysers that store electric energy as chemical compounds, and it also plays an important role in fuel cells, catalytic converters and ...
New nanofiber marks important step in next generation battery development
13-Mar-2017
One of the keys to building electric cars that can travel longer distances and to powering more homes with renewable energy is developing efficient and highly capable energy storage systems. Materials researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have created a nanofiber that could help enable ...
Carbon dots dash toward 'green' recycling role
20-Dec-2016
Graphene quantum dots may offer a simple way to recycle waste carbon dioxide into valuable fuel rather than release it into the atmosphere or bury it underground, according to Rice University scientists. Nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs) are an efficient electrocatalyst to make complex ...
Transforming Carbon Dioxide into a Key Industrial Ingredient
19-Dec-2016
Carbon dioxide doesn’t have a very positive image, as it is generally only considered to be a greenhouse gas. But scientists involved in the German Government-funded eEthylen project expect their research to yield important insights into how CO2 can be efficiently converted into ethylene, thus ...
Better catalysts make better fuel cells
Electricity-powered molecular catalysts that may prove vital for a new generation of fuel cells designed.
16-Nov-2016
Yale chemists have created a framework for designing electricity-powered molecular catalysts that may prove vital for a new generation of fuel cells. Also called electrocatalysts, these substances boost the rate of a chemical reaction by decreasing the energy input along the way. In fuel cells, ...
Carbon leads the way in clean energy
23-Mar-2016
Groundbreaking research at Griffith University is leading the way in clean energy, with the use of carbon as a way to deliver energy using hydrogen. Professor Xiangdong Yao and his team from Griffith's Queensland Micro- and Nanotechnology Centre have successfully managed to use the element to ...
