On the fuel cell project, Pajarito Powder will work with Brookhaven National Laboratory, General Motors Co., Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Strategic Analysis, as well as with national laboratory ...

A fuel cell is almost like a battery that has replenishable fuel. Instead of charging a battery with an electric current, you recharge a fuel cell with something like hydrogen or you simply consume it ...

A record-breaking catalyst could help a new generation of fuel-cell electric vehicles to draw their hydrogen supplies from liquid fuels such as methanol. By purifying the hydrogen stream that feeds ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – To make fuel cells more affordable, researchers have spent decades searching for low-cost catalysts to replace platinum and other expensive metals. This includes experimenting with ...

Hydrogen fuel cells are used to convert hydrogen into electricity. To facilitate the reaction that produces the electricity, they use an expensive platinum catalyst. Scientists at Imperial College ...

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), often referred to as "hydrogen power banks," are clean energy devices that generate electricity from hydrogen and oxygen with only water as a byproduct.

A team has developed a catalyst that can be used to both generate fuel and provide power. A single device that both generates fuel and oxidant from water and, when a switch is flipped, converts the ...

Hydrogen fuel cells, which produce electricity with high efficiency and zero greenhouse gas emissions, are gaining attention as a next-generation clean energy technology. However, their ...

Cost and performance limitations have kept fuel cell-powered unmanned air vehicles within the military domain, but new catalyst technology could see this situation end. The Dayton researchers found ...

Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that directly convert chemical energy from a fuel into electrical energy. Unlike batteries, which only store electricity, fuel cells can continuously generate ...
