When the team threw in some old coffee grounds the reaction sped up significantly, back to just five minutes. On closer inspection, the key was identified as imidazole, a compound in the caffeine. The ...

When burned or used in fuel cells, hydrogen produces nothing but water, making it an ideal candidate for reducing global carbon emissions. Yet, most of the hydrogen produced today comes from fossil ...

Researchers at Australia's national science agency have developed an efficient method to produce green hydrogen for energy-hungry, high-temperature industrial processes – and it starts with ...

Hydrogen is often thought to be linchpin of a future 100% renewable economy. To make up for wind and solar's deal-breaking intermittency and to rid industry of energy-dense fossil fuels, the surplus ...

Scientists in Japan have demonstrated a new proof-of-concept reactor that can harvest renewable hydrogen fuel from sunlight and water. The new 1,076-square-foot (100 square meters) reactor uses ...

Researchers have developed a solar-powered reactor that transforms hard-to-recycle plastic waste into clean hydrogen fuel and valuable industrial chemicals. The system, developed by a team at the ...

Scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed a new reactor that converts natural gas (a common energy source primarily composed of methane) into two highly valuable resources: clean ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have built a solar-powered reactor that converts waste plastic into hydrogen fuel by first breaking down the plastic with sulfuric acid recovered from spent ...

An overview of the researchers’ continuous-flow reactor, which uses a technique known as floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition (FCCVD) to enable the continuous mass production of carbon ...
