As an energy carrier, hydrogen holds the prominent advantages of high gravimetric energy density, high abundance, and zero emissions, yet its effective storage and transportation remain a bottleneck problem for the widespread ...
In recent years, hydrogen gas has gained momentum as the fuel for a clean and green future. This carbon-neutral fuel source releases huge amounts of energy via combustion in the presence of oxygen with water vapor as the ...
The low-cost, efficient production of hydrogen is an important step toward developing alternative, clean energy sources. Electrochemical water splitting, which splits water into its hydrogen and oxygen elements using an electrocatalyst, ...
Development of hydrogen-related technologies is essential to realize and sustain a carbon-neutral society. Hydrogen is obtained from water electrolysis; however, the existing catalysts are made of rare and expensive metals. ...
An international research group has used theoretical predictions to identify and then fabricate a new electrocatalyst that significantly aids the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Details of their findings were published in ...
A team, led by Academician Yu Shuhong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), delivered a general strategy for the synthesis of ten single-atom doped CoSe2-DETA ...
A defect is not always a bad thing. In fact, when it comes to improving the electrocatalysis process that produces clean-burning hydrogen gas, it may be a very good thing. Researchers based in China engineered an electrocatalyst—which ...
Life on Earth owes its existence to photosynthesis—a process which is 2.3 billion years old. This immensely fascinating (and still not fully understood) reaction enables plants and other organisms to harvest sunlight, water ...
Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a scalable hydrothermal approach for obtaining ferromagnetic single-atom spin catalysts which can boost the efficiency of water splitting reactions under ...
University of Alberta researchers have developed a new catalyst that could revolutionize how we generate power and purify water. When placed in any type of water and provided with a small amount of power, the catalyst produces ...
