Hydrogen Cars for the masses one step closer to reality, thanks to invention

An integrated dual-function energy device for both electrochemical energy storage and catalytic oxygen evolution has been proposed. The integrated device, based on the earth-abundant Ni-Co-Fe layered double hydroxide, provides a novel platform for the development of low-cost and highly efficient dual-functional standalone energy materials.

2-in-1 device also uses supercapacitor to store energy that could power computers and smartphones. UCLA researchers have designed a device that can use solar energy to inexpensively and efficiently create and store energy, which could be used to power electronic devices, and to create hydrogen fuel for eco-friendly cars...

Nano-sized Hydrogen Storage system Increases Efficiency

Hydrogenation forms a mixture of lithium amide and hydride (light blue) as an outer shell around a lithium nitride particle (dark blue) nanoconfined in carbon. Nanoconfinement suppresses all other intermediate phases to prevent interface formation, which has the effect of dramatically improving the hydrogen storage performance

Nanoconfinement suppresses all other intermediate phases to prevent interface formation, which has the effect of dramatically improving the hydrogen storage performance

Lawrence Livermore scientists have collaborated with an interdisciplinary team of researchers including colleagues from Sandia National Laboratories to develop an efficient hydrogen storage system that could be a boon for hydrogen powered vehicles. Hydrogen is an excellent energy carrier, but the development of lightweight solid-state materials for compact, low-pressure storage is a huge challenge.

Complex metal hydrides are a promising class of hydrogen storage mate...
