Almost all the world’s hydrogen currently comes from fossil fuels and its production is responsible for around 830 million metric tons of carbon dioxide a year. green hydrogen production processes were both costly and relied on fresh or desalinated water. electrolysers currently use expensive catalysts and consume a lot of energy and water – it […]
Scientists, in the midst of numerous battery energy storage technology in the new era, have placed high hopes on lithium batteries, and are looking to further prolong the battery of smartphones and the driving range of EVs by improving energy density. South Korean scientists have now proposed a new electrolyte solution that increases the stability […]
The most severe climate change scenarios now appear less likely, but extremes are nonetheless poised to overwhelm societies, scientists say In the not-so-distant past, scientists predicted that global temperatures would surge dramatically throughout this century, assuming that humans would rely heavily on fossil fuels for decades. But they are revising their forecasts as they track […]
We’re going to need to mine a huge amount of metals like cobalt and lithium to electrify the world’s automobiles. But things would be easier if car batteries didn’t have to be so big. To a large extent, automobile makers building the next generation of electric vehicles (EVs) are competing on range, putting big, powerful […]
