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.
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.
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.
As hydrogen-powered flight garners increased attention and investment, the aviation industry is coming to grips with a fundamental reality: it’s not just about designing hydrogen planes; it’s about creating an entire ecosystem to support them.
While hydrogen fuel cells have garnered significant attention, researchers and engineers are also exploring the potential of hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines. Recent developments in this field are not only pushing the boundaries of automotive technology but also creating excitement in the world of racing.
