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 ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a new recipe for catalysts that could dramatically improve the performance and durability of ...

Thanks to a novel combination of cryogenic transmission electron tomography and deep learning, EPFL researchers have provided a first look at the nanostructure of platinum catalyst layers, revealing ...

For trucks and heavy-duty vehicles that must travel long distances without frequent, time-consuming charging stops, batteries often fall short. Hydrogen fuel cells — which can be refueled as quickly ...

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 ...

Trains do not have the blinking turn signal lever found in automobiles. In contrast to cars, trains are not equipped with a manual handle to make a left or right turn. Instead, a train is governed by ...

For years, researchers have dedicated extensive effort to finding economical catalysts that can replace costly metals like platinum, aiming to enhance the affordability of fuel cells. Gang Wu, front ...

Hydrogen fuel cells face way more issues than just the skepticism of battery electric vehicle (BEV) advocates. This gas is difficult to store. When it comes from renewable sources, it is expensive.

A hydrogen-powered car fills up at a refueling station built at Johnson Matthey’s manufacturing site in Swindon, England. (Johnson Matthey via YouTube) Chemists at Microsoft Azure Quantum are teaming ...

A simplified schematic depicting the formation mechanism of NiPt nanocatalysts with a dome-shaped hollow polycrystalline structure incorporating a Ni3Pt5 intermetallic phase. The process is driven by ...

Fuel cells are quickly becoming a viable, clean energy alternative to commonly used fossil fuels, such as gasoline, coal, and oil. Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy resources that release carbon ...
