Studies have shown that safe fuel tanks can hold more than 6% of their weight in hydrogen to make nonpolluting cars viable. Carbon structures like titanium-coated nanotubes and Scandium-coated buckyballs can store up to 8% and 9% of their weight in hydrogen, respectively.
Researchers at PNNL have developed a new solid chemical material that can release hydrogen almost 100 times faster than conventional methods. The nanophase material achieves this high rate of hydrogen release at a lower temperature, making it an attractive option for sustainable hydrogen storage.
Scientists at Newcastle University have discovered a way to safely store and release hydrogen, paving the way for pollution-free cars. The breakthrough uses nanoporous materials to trap and release hydrogen gas, which could power vehicles in the future.
Scientists have discovered that adding titanium to sodium aluminum hydride enables reversible hydrogen release and absorption. The titanium acts like a molecular 'key,' facilitating the reaction. Understanding this mechanism may lead to improved hydrogen storage materials and better catalysts for fuel cells.
The US Department of Energy allocates $318 million for fuel cell and hydrogen research, focusing on efficient production and storage. New technologies aim to reduce emissions and enhance energy security.
Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a new method to store hydrogen fuel, using icy materials that require less stringent temperature and pressure conditions. The discovery could help explain how hydrogen is incorporated in planetary bodies and potentially power cars.
Researchers at Penn State have developed a system to remove hydrogen odorant using adsorbers, enabling the use of pure hydrogen in fuel cells. The system also addresses hydrogen storage concerns by utilizing a metal hydride system based on magnesium, which is stable up to 554 degrees Fahrenheit.
Researchers found that some contact lens solutions may not effectively kill Acanthamoeba cysts, which can lead to serious eye infections. The two-step hydrogen peroxide solution was the most effective against both trophozoites and cysts.
The discovery shows that confining hydrogen molecules in small spaces creates measurable magnetic interactions, which could lead to a better understanding of solar cell efficiency. The researchers believe this finding has fundamental implications for the study of nanomaterials and their potential applications.
