UT El Paso-led team designs cactus-inspired low-cost, efficient water-splitting catalyst

Green Car Congress

Researchers led by engineers at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) have proposed a low-cost, cactus-inspired nickel-based material to help split water more cheaply and efficiently. Nickel, however, is not as quick and effective at breaking down water into hydrogen. Resources Navid Attarzadeh, Debabrata Das, Srija N.

Japan team evaluates battery-assisted low-cost hydrogen production from solar energy

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Japan’s NIMS (National Institute for Materials Science), the University of Tokyo and Hiroshima University have jointly conducted a techno-economic analysis for hydrogen production from photovoltaic power generation (PV) utilizing a battery-assisted electrolyzer. This approximately converts to US$1.92 to US$3.00/kg

New LANL grooved electrode design for high-power-density fuel cells offers improved performance and durability

Green Car Congress

The grooved electrode design enables the transport of oxygen and protons to be partitioned into separate grooves and ridges, respectively, enabling faster movement of both species, and hence higher fuel cell performance. We had a theory that by reimagining the way electrodes are designed we could achieve improved performance.
