A fuel cell is an electric power generator that is capable of producing electricity from hydrogen gas while discharging only water as a waste product. It is hoped that this highly efficient clean ...

Researchers have reported a nanocatalyst that is able to produce hydrogen isotope compounds D2 and HD via the heterogeneous dehydrogenation of formic acid in the presence of heavy water. Amine groups ...

Producing hydrogen through proton exchange membrane water electrolysis is a vital step toward cleaner energy. The challenge is that many low-cost catalysts lose efficiency or degrade in acidic ...

In a chemical reaction, a catalyst is a substance that enhances a reaction rate without being consumed. For instance, enzymes are naturally occurring biocatalysts that take part in innumerable ...

Osaka, Japan - Hydrogen occurs in nature as H 2 molecules; however when deuterium isotopes—so called "heavy hydrogen"—are introduced, the result can be deuterium hydride (HD) or deuterium gas (D 2).
