Chemists Offer New Hydrogen Purification Method
February 15, 2009 — One of the hydrogen economy's roadblocks to success is the hydrogen itself. Hydrogen needs to be purified before it can be used as fuel for fuel cells, but current methods are not very clean or ... > full story -
Hydrogen Fuel From Woodchips And Other Non-Food Sources
February 11, 2009 — Tomorrow's fuel-cell vehicles may be powered by enzymes that consume cellulose from woodchips or grass and exhale hydrogen. Researchers have produced hydrogen gas pure enough to power a fuel cell by ... > full story -
Nanotechnology: Lithium-Ion Batteries Have Better Performance With New Electrode Material
February 9, 2009 — Researchers have created hybrid carbon nanotube metal oxide arrays as electrode material that may improve the performance of lithium-ion ... > full story -
Electricity From Straw And Other Waste Materials
February 3, 2009 — Researchers have developed the first-ever biogas plant to run purely on waste instead of edible raw materials -- transforming waste into valuable material. The plant generates 30 percent more biogas ... > full story
