Rather than emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere the way gasoline does, fuel cells running on hydrogen release water. Until now, the clean way to produce hydrogen required the use of ...

PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 15 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists say a low-cost, long-lasting water splitter made of silicon and nickel could provide hydrogen for fuel cells from light. Researchers at Stanford ...

Although touted as zero-emissions vehicles, most fuel cell vehicle run on hydrogen made from natural gas. Now scientists have developed a low-cost, emissions-free device that uses an ordinary AAA ...

Scientists have invented a low-cost water splitter that uses a single catalyst to produce both hydrogen and oxygen gas 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The device could provide a renewable source of ...

(Nanowerk News) In 2015, American consumers will finally be able to purchase fuel cell cars from Toyota and other manufacturers. Although touted as zero-emissions vehicles, most of the cars will run ...

Hydrogen - the most abundant element in the universe - has the potential to fuel our cities, leaving behind nothing but water and heat. But while it appears to be a promising technology, creating ...

Electrolysis –the process of using electricity to separate water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen atoms– has been around for ages. It’s one of the main ways we create hydrogen gas, which is used in ...

While not a primary source of energy, hydrogen, because of its large energy density, provides a vehicle with which to store and transport energy. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells can use sunlight to ...
