New technique for turning sunshine and water into hydrogen fuel Date: October 14, 2018 Source: DGIST (Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology) Summary: Researchers have developed new ...

What if there were no tunnels in the Swiss Alps? Anyone trying to travel through them would have to go up and down hills and zigzag around the ranges. A lot more energy and time is saved to pass ...

When platinum clusters are deposited on octahedral titanium dioxide nanoparticles, a photocatalyst is obtained that produces higher quantities of hydrogen and, more importantly, is much more stable ...

In a recent article published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, researchers introduced a new approach using composite materials made from titanium dioxide (TiO₂) combined with a ...

Clean energy plans, including the U.S. Infrastructure Investment Act’s “Clean Hydrogen Road Map,” are counting on hydrogen as a fuel of the future. But current hydrogen separation technology is still ...

The performance of a fuel cell—a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy—depends on how well the ions can move through the cell's material. Most current fuel cells operate at high ...

(Nanowerk News) Aerogels are extraordinary materials that have set Guinness World Records more than a dozen times, including as the world’s lightest solids. Professor Markus Niederberger from the ...

Turning away from fossil fuels is necessary if we are to avert an environmental crisis due to global warming. Both industry and academia have been focusing heavily on hydrogen as a feasible clean ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers in the Oregon State University College of Science have developed a dual-purpose catalyst that purifies herbicide-tainted water while also producing hydrogen. The project, ...

Researchers demonstrated enzyme-like heterogeneous catalysis for the first time. They developed a highly active heterogeneous TiO2 photocatalyst incorporated with many single copper atoms. They used ...
