| Posted: 15 Jul 2014 05:51 AM PDT Fuel cells are similar to batteries, but they differ from them mainly in that they are continually resupplied by the reagents consumed, typically oxygen and hydrogen. One of the applications that fuel cells may have is the supplying of homes with electrical power. When considering applications of this type that call for greater power, a research group has studied the use of one type of material, perovskites, for the design of these cells.  |
| Technology produces clean-burning hydrogen fuel cheaply using carbon nanotubes Posted: 14 Jul 2014 07:41 AM PDT Researchers have developed a technology that could overcome a major cost barrier to make clean-burning hydrogen fuel -- a fuel that could replace expensive and environmentally harmful fossil fuels. The new technology is a novel catalyst that performs almost as well as cost-prohibitive platinum for so-called electrolysis reactions, which use electric currents to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The Rutgers technology is also far more efficient than less-expensive catalysts investigated to-date.  |
| Pumping efficiency into electrical motors Posted: 14 Jul 2014 07:01 AM PDT Researchers are using new magnetic materials to develop revolutionary electrical motors and generators which promise significant energy savings.  |
