Seawater could become a great source for green hydrogen generation

Several research teams are now reporting advances in producing hydrogen directly from seawater, which could become an inexhaustible source of green hydrogen. Today, nearly all hydrogen is made by breaking apart methane, burning fossil fuels to generate the needed heat and pressure. Both steps release carbon dioxide. Green hydrogen could replace this dirty hydrogen, but

Researchers achieve low-temperature ignition for diesel soot elimination

Using conductive metal oxides as catalysts, researchers have developed an electrification strategy aimed at decreasing the ignition temperature of soot. Relevant results were published in Nature Catalysis. This research was conducted by Prof. Zhang Jian’s group at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Prof.

Grant enables research into catalysts for more sustainable hydrogen production

Fuel cells running on hydrogen gas could serve as a gasoline alternative in cars of the future. However, most hydrogen gas is derived from extracted natural gas, so an alternative method of producing the hydrogen, such as water splitting, is necessary to avoid using fossil fuels altogether, according to Lauren Greenlee, associate professor of chemical
