A lack of standards for testing polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells - the most attractive type of fuel cells for powering vehicles - has hampered objective comparative assessment of their performance and durability under operating conditions and hence of their technological progress.
A new fuel cell that transforms urine into electricity could revolutionize bioenergy production, especially in developing countries. The research work, published in Electrochimica Acta, discusses a new microbial fuel, which is cheaper, smaller in size and more powerful than the conventional ones.
A group of scientists are working to generate electricity from an unusual source: damaged tomatoes, which are not fit to be sold at grocery stores. The pilot project involves a biological-based fuel cell, which utilizes waste tomatoes discarded during harvests in Florida.
H2ALRECYCLING is a Valencian project for designing and building a pilot plant to transform hydrogen fuel cells from industrial waste.
Drones are used for various applications such as aero picturing, disaster recovery, and delivering. Despite attracting attention as a new growth area, the biggest problem of drones is its small battery capacity and limited flight time of less than an hour. A fuel cell developed by Prof. Gyeong Man Choi (Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering) and his research team at POSTECH can solve this problem.
Historically, solar rays dominate the the renewable energy source market. Two researchers, Xueyang Feng and Jason He, from Virginia Tech have developed a new technique to increase the amount of electric current that can be produced from the wastewater.
Fuel cells generate electrical energy through a chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. To obtain clean energy, the splitting of water into its components of hydrogen and oxygen is critical. Researchers at the University of Basel study how sunlight can be used for this purpose. The scientific journal Chemical Communications published their latest results.
The U.S transportation sector consisting of cars, trucks, buses, and rail, marine, and air transport accounts for over 20% of the energy consumed. This energy is derived mostly from fossil fuels. The need for finding alternative environment friendly forms of fuel is on the rise.
Intelligent Energy, the energy technology company, today unveiled a number of consumer electronic prototypes powered by an embedded hydrogen fuel cell, to significantly extend the up time of the devices and provide a solution to the battery life conundrum facing consumers today.
An international group of scientists from Russia, France, and Germany have developed ion-exchange synthetic membranes based on amphiphilic compounds that are able to convert the energy of chemical reactions into electrical current.
