New Catalyst Dives into Water to Produce Hydrogen
Few catalysts are energy efficient, highly active, stable and operate in water, but a nickel-based catalyst designed at the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis at PNNL quickly produces hydrogen molecules in solutions with 75 percent water
Wet Aluminum Hydroxide and Oxyhydroxide Particles Release Hydrogen When Irradiated
Vitrifying nuclear waste for storage is complicated by aluminum and understanding this behavior is vital. Research suggests that upon radiolysis, the properties of humid aluminum particles do not change substantially but hydrogen is formed.
New Clean Energy Process Converts Methane to Hydrogen with Zero Carbon Dioxide Emissions
PNNL teamed with academia and industry to develop a novel zero-emission methane pyrolysis process that produces both hydrogen and high-value carbon solids suitable for an array of manufacturing applications.
Synthetic Molecule First Electricity-Making Catalyst to Use Iron to Split Hydrogen Gas
A fast and efficient iron-based catalyst that splits hydrogen gas to make electricity — necessary to make fuel cells more economical — was reported by researchers at the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis, based at PNNL.
Crystal Structures Reveal Hydrogen-Bonding Patterns in Concentrated Aluminate Solutions
The size of the alkali metal within the material influences the crystallization pathway.
