Scientists are also investigating the possibility of using high - temperature nuclear reactors to make
hydrogen for fuel cells.
Materials like this can be
used for fuel cell electrodes, with far lower costs than the current ones.
The work supported through this investment will address key early - stage technical
challenges for fuel cells and for hydrogen fuel production, delivery, and storage related to hydrogen infrastructure.
Researchers have been on the
quest for a fuel cell that works between these two temperatures, in a range that would be suitable for vehicles.
It could offer a convenient and portable source of
hydrogen for fuel cells and other applications, potentially transforming the energy market and providing an alternative to batteries and liquid fuels.
In particular, it is
used for fuel cells, devices that turn chemical energy directly into electrical energy, without combustion.
Co-author Professor Hamid Al - Megren, from the Materials Research Institute at KACST, said: «This is an exciting development — it will allow society to utilise fossil fuels or renewable - derived wax to generate on - board hydrogen
for fuel cell applications without releasing any carbon dioxide into the air.»

Khaleel's current research interests are tuned to world energy systems and the future role
for fuel cell systems.
Some of the other projects involve the development of proton exchange
membrane for fuel cell application, a gyroscope based on micro-electromechanical technology and research on innovative engineering materials to fabricate ceramic membranes that can partially oxidize methane to syngas used as feedstock in commercial methanol production.
This can reduce the amount of platinum
required for a fuel cell by about 70 per cent,» says Björn Wickman, researcher at the Department of Physics at Chalmers University of Technology.

The dollar limit on the amount of credit
for fuel cell property is $ 500 per half - kilowatt of power capacity of the property.
This will make it
possible for a fuel cell vehicle to reach any distant corner of Germany without fear of running out of hydrogen before finding another refueling station.
Except for fuel cells (which must be installed in your primary residence to qualify), the credit can be used for items installed in vacation or second homes as well.
After we picked the two technologies — the anaerobic digester and fuel cells — we hired HDR to marry the two together, come in and do the design for the gas — to remove all the sulfur — and gas compression, and the drying and
cleaning for the fuel cells.»
American Honda is working with its dealer partners to implement
processes for fuel cell vehicle lease, delivery and service support for the duration of their leases.
The measure increases the tax credit limitation
for fuel cells from $ 500 to $ 1,500 per half kilowatt of capacity.
Furthermore, Hyundai Motor's Sound Design Research Lab designed a unique racing car sound system
for fuel cell based cars to maximize the emotional delight of this highly - spirited yet eco-friendly model.
Testing for the fuel cell pickup truck began last year, and the Army intends to «conduct user assessments and demonstrations in 2017.»
Applications include hydrogen
detection for fuel cells, optical spectrum analysis and low noise lasers for metrology and next generation fiber optic communication systems, and optical logic and memory for high speed data processing.
Chemist Bjorn Winther - Jensen of Monash University in Australia and his colleagues addressed that problem by developing new
electrodes for fuel cells made from a special conducting polymer, that costs around $ 57 per counce.
Department of Energy national lab researchers found strain dramatically influences low - temperature oxygen electrocatalysis on perovskite oxides, enhancing bifunctional activity
essential for fuel cells and metal — air batteries.
Many commercial catalysts
for fuel cells contain the precious metal platinum, which aside from being expensive, is too rare to support ubiquitous use in vehicles.
Singapore's National Technology University aims to become a regional center
for fuel cell science and technology.
Theoretical physicist Boris Yakobson and his Rice colleagues are among many looking for a way to speed up
ORR for fuel cells, which were discovered in the 19th century but not widely used until the latter part of the 20th.
Texas Instruments reported to NHTSA that, since 2001, it has sold nearly 2,800 of the transducers, most of them to
suppliers for fuel cell - powered cars, trucks and buses.
In the early 2000s, Maria's group had pioneered the single - atom approach for metals anchored on oxide supports as the exclusive active sites for the water - gas shift reaction to upgrade hydrogen
streams for fuel cell use.
A team of UD engineering faculty members and department leaders brought their research groups
together for a fuel cell innovation.
With support from the Energy Department, private industry, and the Department's national laboratories, significant progress has been made in reducing costs and improving
performance for fuel cell and hydrogen technologies.
One typical example is using SCF to deposit platinum nanoparticles and other catalysts on carbon nanotube
supports for fuel cell applications.
