Researchers’ breakthrough may accelerate hydrogen’s replacement of fossil fuels

via energystoragesense.com

Researchers at the CRANN nanoscience institute at Trinity College Dublin have discovered a new clean energy material that will increase the adoption of hydrogen as a fuel in energy-efficient transport.

Hydrogen has been described as the ultimate clean energy source and, potentially, a real alternative to fossil fuels.

It is seen as very attractive as it is a pollution-free fuel and energy carrier that would satisfy much of the energy requirements of our society.

Hydrogen is readily prepared by splitting water electrically into its component parts hydrogen and oxygen; a process called electrolysis. However, this process requires a significant energy input.

‘Our disruptive materials breakthrough is momentous as it means much more energetically efficient and more economical hydrogen energy’

But now, researchers at CRANN have developed a material that enhances the splitting of water at a very low energy cost using Earth-abundant raw materials.
