The hydrogen economy provides an efficient and environmentally friendly pathway to store and consume energy 1,2. Fuel cells, especially the recently developed polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells, ...

The cell produces electricity through chemical reactions between hydrogen peroxide and aluminum. If perfected, such an electricity source could one day replace conventional batteries in many ...

From the stainless steel in wind turbines to electric vehicle batteries, nickel is playing a key role in the clean energy transition. Yet the industrial processes that make this important metal are ...

Skoltech researchers have created a promising catalyst to speed up a chemical reaction producing clean hydrogen fuel from the ...

Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions, but the widely used metal platinum is scarce and expensive. Researchers have now developed an alternative with a 20x higher activity: a catalyst with hollow ...

While not a primary source of energy, hydrogen, because of its large energy density, provides a vehicle with which to store and transport energy. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells can use sunlight to ...

To resolve the energy crisis and environmental issues, research to move away from fossil fuels and convert to eco-friendly and sustainable hydrogen energy is well underway around the world. Recently, ...

For combustion engines to use 100 percent hydrogen, they need components that can withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments. Scientists from the University of Alberta discovered a new ...
