Science of better fuel cells

Get realSo we are going to have 1-ton work trucks with a battery.PleaseYou are an idiot, please shut up.Misleading. Not produce, STOREThis article is misleading.If you can produce excess solar energy during the day, you can use some for electrolysis to create hydrogen, which may be easier to store, and...

They're still pushing hydrogen

General Motors is heralding a milestone for their hydrogen-powered cars still in road testing. Under current political conditions the hydrogen fuel cell car looks almost perfect: it emits H20. No carbon, sulphur or nitrous emissions. It burns hydrogen which is almost infinitely available from hydrolysis. And that in...

Nanotechnology-based clean hydrogen for cars

According to EE Times, a California-based company called QuantumSphere has developed nanoparticles that could make hydrogen cheaper than gasoline. The company says its reactive catalytic nanoparticle coatings can boost the efficiency of electrolysis the technique that generates hydrogen from water to 85% today, exceeding the Department of Energy's goal for...
