Implant Fights Diabetes by Making Insulin and Oxygen

Type 1 diabetes remains a problem despite having an apparently simple solution: since T1D patients have lost the cells that produce insulin, it should be possible to transplant those cells …read more Continue reading Implant Fights Diabetes by Making Insulin and Oxygen

Acid coating converts regular electrolyzers to split seawater

An international team from the University of Adelaide, Australia, Tianjin and Nankai Universities in China and Kent State University in the US has published new research claiming that a simple, cheap acid layer over the catalyst in an electrolyzer allo… Continue reading Acid coating converts regular electrolyzers to split seawater

Clever device efficiently splits hydrogen and lithium out of seawater

One problem with renewably-produced hydrogen is that it uses fresh water – and with a quarter of the world’s population already facing severe water scarcity at least one month of every year, freshwater is an ever more finite and precious resource. So t… Continue reading Clever device efficiently splits hydrogen and lithium out of seawater

High-frequency sound waves make electrolyzers produce 14x more hydrogen

RMIT researchers say they’ve unlocked cheaper, more energy-efficient green hydrogen production with a new electrolysis technique boosted by sound waves. With these high-frequency vibrations active, standard electrolysis produces 14x more hydrogen.Conti… Continue reading High-frequency sound waves make electrolyzers produce 14x more hydrogen

World’s first direct air electrolyzer makes hydrogen from humidity

Australian researchers have developed and tested a way to electrolyze hydrogen straight out of the air, anywhere on Earth, without requiring any other fresh water source. The Direct Air Electrolyzer (DAE) absorbs and converts atmospheric moisture – eve… Continue reading World’s first direct air electrolyzer makes hydrogen from humidity

Record-breaking hydrogen electrolyzer claims 95% efficiency

A kilogram of hydrogen holds 39.4 kWh of energy, but typically costs around 52.5 kWh of energy to create via current commercial electrolyzers. Australian company Hysata says its new capillary-fed electrolyzer cell slashes that energy cost to 41.5 kWh, … Continue reading Record-breaking hydrogen electrolyzer claims 95% efficiency
