QUB spin-out to commercialize to technique for production of MOFs; storage for natural gas vehicles

Green Car Congress

The technology is to be commercialized by a spin-out from the University, MOF Technologies. By simply grinding together two cheap precursors in a basic milling machine, the MOF material is produced in a matter of minutes, in a powder form, ready for applications without further treatment, and without generating solvent waste.

Startup commercializing thermo-acoustic Stirling technology for combined heat and power for homes

Green Car Congress

While the analysis and design of such systems can be complex, the result can be potentially cheap to manufacture. This technology allows for elimination of one of the moving parts (the displacer), replacing it with a tuned cavity and inertance tubes.

Researchers split seawater without pre-treatment to produce green hydrogen

Green Car Congress

University of Adelaide’s Professor Shizhang Qiao, co-corresponding author, said that the researchers used a non-precious and cheap catalyst in a commercial electrolyzer. A flow-type natural seawater electrolyser with Lewis acid-modified electrodes (Cr 2 O 3 –CoO x ) exhibits the industrially required current density of 1.0 A cm
