million to identify new materials that will efficiently absorb sunlight and split water into hydrogen. Once promising materials have been identified, we’ll research how to create nano-scale structures of that material that enhance the intrinsic properties of the material for light-absorption and water-splitting chemistry.

using just water, H 2 , CO 2 and sunlight. Again emphasizing that there has been no announcement of development direction, the potential building blocks for a solar fuels isooctane process are emerging. So here our isobutene would allow us to integrate this very cheap fossil component into the fuel. Earlier post.). Audi e-fuels.

Currently, renewable hydrogen may be produced from water by electrolysis with either low efficiency alkaline electrolyzers that suffer 50–65% losses, or by more efficient acidic electrolyzers using expensive rare platinum group metal catalysts (Pt). Significantly, no catalyst degradation is seen in short term studies at current densities of

The hybrid material effectively catalyzes the conversion of liquid water to hydrogen gas while remaining stable in an acidic environment. One key step is splitting water (water electrolysis). Source: BNL. Click to enlarge. But these two approaches had not yet been tried together. —Kotaro Sasaki.

Based on their study, the team proposed that the first step in their photoreforming of cellulose was the (photo)hydrolysis of cellulose into glucose, with the latter then undergoing reforming to hydrogen and CO 2. Up until recently, the production of hydrogen from cellulose by means of photocatalysis has not been extensively studied.

As the fraction of electricity generation from intermittent renewable sources—such as solar or wind—grows, the ability to store large amounts of electrical energy is of increasing importance. Solid-electrode batteries maintain discharge at peak power for far too short a time to fully regulate wind or solar power output.

The optimized photo-electrochemical water splitting device uses light absorbers made of silicon arranged in closely packed pillars, dotted with tiny clusters of the new molybdenum sulfide catalyst. An alternative, clean method is to make hydrogen fuel from sunlight and water via a photo-electrochemical (PEC, or water-splitting) process.

A Portable Desalination System Makes Water Potable—Without a Filter Payal Dhar (Freelance Blogger) MIT researchers have developed a prototype of a suitcase-size device that can turn seawater into safe drinking water. With climate change exacerbating water scarcity globally, seawater desalination is stepping in to fill the void.

A team led by Professor Jae Sung Lee at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), with colleagues at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), have developed a new pathway for the direct conversion of CO 2 to liquid transportation fuels by reaction with renewable hydrogen produced by solar water splitting.

The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy.

Researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington have demonstrated a new solar process for the one-step, gas-phase conversion of CO 2 and H 2 O to C 5+ liquid hydrocarbons and O 2 by operating the photocatalytic reaction at elevated temperatures and pressures. The process uses cheap and earth-abundant catalytic materials.

Robert Dorner and his colleagues are looking at converting CO 2 and hydrogen (both won from sea-water) over catalysts, using the CO 2 as a building block to form synthetic fuel. This provides an excellent opportunity to study exactly how carbon dioxide transforms into useful, carbon-based, products. Earlier post.). Scott Shaw.

We did a capacity study in the area and we realized that there was a very tight industrial zone right outside of LAX, where we had this huge interest from customers, and there was seven megawatts of available power that was sitting on the grid at that time. Washington state has an abundance of power very cheap from all the hydro.

Furthermore, changing the battery pack on say a Toyota Prius often costs a fortune, at least in most European countries, so such cars better be VERY cheap, but they’re not.
