Researchers use hydrogen fuel cells for carbon capture, bringing environmentally friendly fuel cells to transportation and technology
The technology can effectively capture 99% of carbon dioxide from air using a novel electrochemical system powered by hydrogen, by converting fuel chemical energy directly into electricity.
Fuel cells can be used in transportation for things like hybrid or zero-emission vehicles, by controlling the short-circuited fuel cell through hydrogen.
The engineers from the University of Delaware had been looking to improve hydroxide exchange membrane (HEM) fuel cells, in an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional acid-based fuel cells which is currently used in the market today.
Renovating former technology to suit modern standards
Published in the journal Nature Energy, the scientists highlighted their…
