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.
Engineers at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have built and tested a solar reactor that can generate hydrogen gas from sunlight and water with high efficiency. The system also captures the “waste” products of oxygen and heat, putting them to use as well.
Chemical engineers at EPFL have created a solar-powered artificial leaf that is supported by a new transparent, porous electrode that can collect atmospheric water and turn it into hydrogen fuel.
EPFL researchers have observed how water electrolysis catalysts behave at the particle level. Hydrogen and oxygen are formed when water…
One of EPFL’s chemical engineering departments has created a new approach to artificial photosynthesis, which produces hydrogen from water as…
