(Natural News) The key to efficient solar-to-chemical energy conversion lies in enabling uniform dispersion and intimate contact of co-catalysts, explain researchers from Shinshu University in Japan. In their report, which was published in Nature Communications, they explained how a single-crystalline barium tantalum oxynitride (BaTaO2N) photocatalyst effectively improved the performance of photoexcited electrons. Photocatalysts a cost-effective solution to splitting water Recent research […]

(Natural News) Hydrogen has been eyed as a feasible replacement for fossil fuels in the fields of energy and transport. However, producing and transporting hydrogen is a complicated process. But a group of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) discovered a way to produce hydrogen through the use of aluminum and water. Three […]

(Natural News) The shipping industry produces about three percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, thanks to carbon dioxide-rich bunker fuel. However, the recent push toward zero emissions has prompted shipping lines to look for greener alternatives to power their vessels. Industry experts have eyed hydrogen as a response to this challenge. Currently, hydrogen-powered vessels are […]

(Natural News) Researchers developed a new catalyst that generates hydrogen fuel while destroying water pollutants. In a study published on March 17 in the journal ACS ES&T Engineering, the researchers described how they merged multiple metals to more efficiently produce hydrogen from wastewater. Exploring a clean and efficient way of generating hydrogen Hydrogen is a low-polluting source of energy and one of the […]
