For decades, scientists trying to build better catalysts have relied on a single guiding principle: there is one sweet spot, ...

Simulations pinpoint an electronic sweet spot where nitrogen-doped graphene can drive oxygen reactions more efficiently than ...

Fuel cells convert chemical energy directly to electricity via electrochemical reactions at the anode and cathode, with electrocatalysts governing the rates and efficiencies of key processes such as ...

Researchers are increasingly looking to hydrogen fuel cell systems as alternate power sources for vehicles and other applications due to their fast refueling time, high energy density and lack of ...

A new study reveals that dual-atom catalysts behave in a fundamentally different way than scientists previously thought, challenging a long-standing model used to predict catalytic performance.

Fuel cells are not some novel new technology. In fact, most history books credit the invention of the fuel cell to Welsh chemist and physicist William Grove, who, in the late 1830s and early 1840s, ...

By Kennedy Maize Fuel cells, a proven way to make electricity without combustion, fission, or gravity, are making serious inroads into the red-hot market for producing power for artificial ...

With global goals set on transitioning away from fossil fuels, fuel cells stand out as a promising carbon-free energy source. Comprising an anode and a cathode separated by an electrolyte, fuel cells ...

Honda will begin U.S. production of an all-new hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle in 2024, using the recently redesigned ...

What if the future of aviation didn’t rely on heavy lithium-ion batteries or complex hydrogen systems, but instead on a fuel as simple and abundant as sodium? At MIT, researchers are turning this bold ...
