Hydrogen Day
PNNL supports the mission of DOE's Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Technologies Office by exploiting the interplay of hydrogen and electrons. On October 8 of every year, we celebrate National Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Day.
Grain Boundaries Accelerate Hydrogen Insertion into Palladium Nanostructures
Hydrogen preferentially inserts at grain boundaries between interconnected chains of palladium nanoparticles, which have a lower energy barrier for hydrogen incorporation into the material.
Leveraging Curvature on Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Materials for Hydrogen Storage
Identifying how curvature affects the doping and hydrogen binding energies of carbon-based materials provides a framework for designing hydrogen storage materials.
New Catalyst Outshines Platinum for Producing Hydrogen
New PNNL research shows that a pairing of humble minerals outshines other reactive materials when it comes to producing hydrogen.
Hydrogen Compatibility Study Characterizes Performance of Rubber Additives
When it comes to hydrogen compatibility, all rubbers are not created equal. New research hints at pathways to improve the durability of rubber-based materials in hydrogen infrastructure.
Quantitatively Analyzing Nanoscale Hydrogen Distribution in Materials
Researchers demonstrated a path to quantitatively map hydrogen pick up in model steels.
Storing Hydrogen on Materials
Newly funded research will look at the underlying science of controlling hydrogen interactions with two-dimensional materials composed of carbon, boron, and nitrogen.
Containing Hydrogen in a Materials World
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories have joined forces to reduce costs and improve the reliability of hydrogen fueling stations.
Residual Impurities Affect the Stability of Hydrogen Atoms in Irradiated Gibbsite
Hydrogen atoms released and trapped in irradiated gibbsite are destabilized by synthetic-precursor residuals.
Renewable Hydrogen Fuel Being Studied for the Port of Seattle
A research team is exploring the safety and feasibility of clean hydrogen to replace some fossil fuel in medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and maritime uses at the Port of Seattle.
