Water Splitting for H2 Production using Visible-light-responsive Photocatalysts

Huang J., Zhang G., Zhang W., Zhang G., Zhang W., Wang P., Minakata D., Chen Y., Crittenden J., New Jersey Institute of Technology, US

Hydrogen (H2) production using visible-light photocatalysis for water splitting has attracted considerable attention owing to the growing demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable energy sources. This presentation will demonstrate our previous study on H2 production [...]

Investigation of a short stack PEM electrolyzer based on a nanosized IrO2 anode electrocatalyst

Di Blasi A., Siracusano S., Baglio V., Briguglio N., Stassi A., Antonucci V., Aricò A.S., CNR ITAE, IT

Electrolysis systems based on PEMs have a number of advantages in comparison to the traditional alkaline electrolyzers, such as ecological cleanliness, considerably smaller mass–volume characteristics and, essentially, a high degree of gases purity. The main [...]

Nanostructured TiO2 for Photovoltaic Hydrogen Production

Patel M., Imperial College London, UK

Theoretical and experimental methods are adopted in order to gain further understanding of photocatalytic water splitting over the semiconductor TiO2. Periodic density functional theory calculations are used to study the adsorption of water on the [...]

Plasma Torch Process for Hydrogen Production at Small Distributed Stations

Miley G.H., Gough W.C., Leon H., University of Illinois, US

Small distributed hydrogen generating stations have been proposed. However, they are generally assumed to use water electrolysis units or various gas reforming processes. In this study we examine an alternate approach using the exhaust plasma [...]

Enriched methane production by solar steam reformer: process evaluation

De Falco M., Marrelli L., Giaconia A., Tarquini P., University of Rome “La Sapienza”, IT

The aim of this work is to present a novel hybrid plant for the production of a mixture of methane and hydrogen from a steam reforming reactor whose heat duty is supplied by a molten [...]

Protective Sensor Coatings for High-Throughput Screening of Hydrogen-Producing Microbes

Pryce Lewis H., GVD Corporation, US

Microbe-based hydrogen production is a potentially cost-effective, non-polluting approach to the production of hydrogen. Research efforts are underway to identify, isolate, and enhance microbial strains which facilitate direct sunlight-to-hydrogen conversion. These efforts are hampered by [...]
