Laser Pulses in Water for Hydrogen Production

Ikuko Akimoto and colleagues have decided to go high tech and low cost in order to produce hydrogen. While other scientists are using expensive catalysts and electrolysis to break the bonds of water, Akimoto decided to use laser pulses plus high grade, low cost carbon and charcoal to create hydrogen. According to the American Chemical […]

University of Colorado, Boulder Solar-Hydrogen Breakthrough

On July 30, 2013 I had talked about TU Delft and HZB creating solar-hydrogen breakthrough technology. Well, it seems like there is no shortage of solar-hydrogen breakthroughs recently as the University of Colorado, Boulder has created one as well. Researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder (CU-Boulder) have come at the issue from a completely […]

Bacteriorhodopsin in Salt Flats Produce Hydrogen Fuel

Scientists at the Argonne National Laboratory have discovered that microorganisms that live in desert salt flats are using sunlight to produce hydrogen. And if coaxed, these bacteriorhodopsin that live in the hottest areas of California and Nevada, could be persuaded to produce large amounts of hydrogen fuel. According to Argonne, “Argonne nanoscientist Elena Rozhkova and […]
