Tiny changes at the atomic scale can determine the future of clean energy. In a new study, Tohoku University researchers have ...

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are a new type of fuel cell that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy and have attracted widespread attention in recent years. However, the slow ...

Hydrogen, derived from polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), is an excellent source of clean energy. However, PEFCs require platinum (Pt), which is a limited resource. Some studies have shown that ...

The study focuses on the oxygen reduction reaction, a key process in fuel cells that limits their efficiency. New insights may help improve these energy devices. Researchers extensively study the ...

When it comes to making efficient fuel cells, it’s all about the catalyst. A good catalyst will result in faster, more efficient chemical reactions and, thus, increased energy output. Today’s fuel ...

A precise synthesis tunes platinum skin thickness on PtCu nanospheres and shows two atomic layers give the best oxygen reduction performance and durability. (Nanowerk News) Fuel cells still depend on ...

Japan and California have embraced hydrogen fuel-cell technologies, a form of renewable energy that can be used in vehicles and for supplying clean energy to manufacturing sectors. But the technology ...

When people ask who came first, the chicken or the egg, the answer is so evident that the question got outdated. Eggs existed way before birds emerged: first with fish, then with reptiles. Apply that ...
