where a catalyst creates oxygen ions. The arriving hydrogen protons and electrons bond with these oxygen ions, creating the two "waste products" of the reaction—water vapor and heat. Some of the ...

The atoms bond because there is a strong enough attraction in both directions and room for the electrons in the outer energy level of the atoms. When two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom get close ...

These distinct patterns reveal how a particular molecule moves along H-bonds — allowing researchers to directly measure ...

Researchers have created an artificial gill that extracts oxygen from seawater to fuel cells, enabling robotic sea gliders or ...

There are methods to generate hydrogen more efficiently, though, in a clean and sustainable process. that also produces useful heat and oxygen as byproducts. The key to the process? Concentrated ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) researchers have developed an electron transfer mechanism that involves a switchable metal and oxygen redox chemistry in nickel-oxyhydroxide-based materials ...

The ball-and-stick and first space-filling model show that sucrose is a large molecule made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Sucrose has many O–H bonds which are polar. These polar areas are shown ...

Oxygen can destroy hydrogen-producing enzymes. Researchers from Bochum and Osaka have discovered how an extraordinary protein survives in the presence of oxygen. Three years ago, a partial ...

PEM electrolysers employ a slim, semi-permeable polymer to separate the hydrogen and oxygen gases produced during ... This unique bonding mechanism prevents particles from detaching, enabling ...

Each atom then has a complete outer shell of electrons. The slideshow shows how a covalent bond forms between a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom, making hydrogen chloride. A simple molecule ...

Electrolytic hydrogen production using conventional electrocatalysts suffers from low energy efficiency, due in part to the sluggish nature of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Topological ...
