The proposed iridium-based compound can effectively store “electrons” from hydrogen and hold them in solid state at room temperature for months. These stored electrons can then be released to catalyze ...

Hydrogen is often lauded as the clean fuel of the future, but it has a dirty secret—most hydrogen produced today comes from natural gas. While it’s cleaner than simply burning the natural gas, it’s ...

Scientists have found through spectroscopic investigations on a hydrogen-producing enzyme that the environment of the catalytic site acts as an electron reservoir in the enzyme. Thus, it can very ...

In hydrogen production, two electrons get together with two protons. The research team showed that, as expected, the first electron is initially transferred to the iron centre of the enzyme. The ...

The discovery could significantly reduce the production costs of fuels, chemicals, and materials. A research team from the ...

Precise control of electrochemical reactions on dielectric layers is a key issue that has been increasingly studied in recent years, because it would enable patterned circuits, stacks of thin films ...

A type of hydrogen that doesn't interact with light could explain how long neutrons live and reveal the identity of the ...

Anchoring single metal atoms on ultrathin supports improves catalyst efficiency and stability, making hydrogen production cleaner, more scalable, and less dependent on scarce metals. (Nanowerk ...
