Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) have synthesized the first-ever metal-organic frameworks (MOF) membrane with a thickness of just one unit cell. The ultrathin film yields record-high separation performance of hydrogen.
Norway has recently made significant breakthroughs in hydrogen research, but current government policy means that these findings will most likely only benefit its competitors. The EU and USA are currently investing heavily in hydrogen, while Norway has yet to develop a clear plan for making hydrogen available for use domestically.
A team of researchers led by Dr. Yoo Sung Jong of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has succeeded in significantly reducing the cost of green hydrogen production by developing a new carbon-supported catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction in anion exchange membrane water electrolysis.
French company RH2 is developing hydrogen retrofit kits for heavy goods vehicles and construction machinery. The kits are designed to convert existing diesel engines to run on hydrogen, at a fraction of the cost of replacing the vehicles outright.
A significant disruption in the availability of gaseous hydrogen has rendered many Southern California hydrogen stations temporarily unavailable. While some stations with alternate supply chains remain operational, they are experiencing unusually high demand.
In the quest for a low-carbon economy, a team of visionary scientists at the NTI Competence Center, specializing in “Hydrogen as the basis of a low-carbon economy,” within the Federal Research Center, Institute of Catalysis SB RAS, have achieved a remarkable breakthrough. Their innovation involves a novel material for electrodes in hydrogen fuel cells, opening doors to a more efficient and environmentally friendly future.
Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, has long been touted as a promising renewable energy source for the vehicles of the future. Dr. XiaoYu Wu, a mechanical and mechatronics engineering professor at the University of Waterloo, firmly believes in hydrogen’s potential, but he also recognizes the significant challenges associated with its storage and transportation.
The University of Warwick is one of several partners to benefit from £11 million funding as part of a new hydrogen research hub.
Dr. Meyer will introduce the world’s largest super-resolved digital twin of a hydrogen fuel cell structure generated on the world’s most powerful supercomputer. This model allows the visualization of large-scale (> 16 mm2) water transport using Lattice-Boltzmann simulations.
Researchers at Rice University have developed a groundbreaking method to extract high-yield hydrogen from mixed waste plastics, without the need for sorting by type or washing. This pioneering approach also yields high-value graphene, opening up new possibilities for sustainable and cost-effective hydrogen production.
