Low cost platinum catalyst hydrogen production paired with solar technology

Hydrogen Fuel   Comments Off

Lowering the cost of platinum catalyst helps make hydrogen fuel production more cost effective and, when paired with solar energy generation, also lower carbon impactjingguangchenlg[1] dramatically.  …

…   “Chen explains that when powered by renewable energy sources such as wind- or solar-based technologies, the generation of hydrogen from the electrolysis of water produces a high-energy-density mobile energy carrier without any associated carbon dioxide emissions.
