Ever paused to think why electrolysis needs so much oomph just to split water into hydrogen and oxygen? It all comes down to ...

A new type of catalyst—a material that speeds up chemical reactions—that could make the production of clean hydrogen fuel more efficient and long-lasting has been developed by a team led by City ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 275, No. 1363 (Oct. 29, 1963), pp. 559-574 (17 pages) The addition of molecular oxygen was found to ...

Scientists have successfully split water into hydrogen and oxygen using light and meticulously designed catalysts, and they did so at the maximum efficiency meaning there was almost no loss and ...

Anchoring single metal atoms on ultrathin supports improves catalyst efficiency and stability, making hydrogen production ...

One of the outstanding facts about the hydrogen-oxygen reaction is the existence of three distinct explosion limits, designated, in order of increasing pressure, the first, second and third explosion ...

Researchers from Science Tokyo developed a new modified ilmenite-based oxygen carrier that effectively improves the rate and yields of hydrogen production in chemical looping systems. Potassium- and ...

Chemists Joel Rosenthal and Daniel G. Nocera of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology provide this answer. When molecular hydrogen (H 2) and oxygen (O 2) are combined and allowed to react together ...

Electrochemical catalysts used in water splitting often show poor performance due to low electrical conductance of (oxy)hydroxide species produced in situ. To overcome this challenge, researchers have ...
