Nocera is still seeking a cheap way to convert hydrogen ions into hydrogen gas and an efficient way to get electricity from photovoltaic panels to the catalyst.

Not exact matches

Unlike water or regular ice, in superionic ice the water molecules dissociate into charged atoms called ions, with the oxygen ions locked in a solid lattice, while the hydrogen ions move like the molecules in a liquid.

This electron transfer turned the positive ions into neutral molecular hydrogen, which bubbled up and away as a gas.

They immersed their composite electrode into water that was slightly acidified, meaning it contained positively charged hydrogen ions.

Instead, water is divided into oxygen gas, positive hydrogen ions, and electrons that are transferred into another circuit.

Hydrogen atoms are formed in such devices only when electrons flow into a fluid where they can combine with hydrogen ions; those atoms in turn combine with each other to create hydroHydrogen atoms are formed in such devices only when electrons flow into a fluid where they can combine with hydrogen ions; those atoms in turn combine with each other to create hydrohydrogen ions; those atoms in turn combine with each other to create hydrogenhydrogen gas.

Teams around the world are searching for suitable cathode materials which can efficiently turn those ions into hydrogen gas, says Gamelin.

This fuel cell converts hydrogen into electricity by oxygen - ion migration to fuel electrode through an oxide electrolyte.

This membrane separates the cathode from the anode, which splits hydrogen (H2) into ions (protons) and delivers them to the cathode, which puts out current.

It does so by pumping protons — or hydrogen ions — out of the cell and into the environment, where their concentration is higher.

About 380,000 years later, these ions cooled and coalesced into neutral hydrogen gas.

«The sperm pumps out calcium and takes in hydrogen ions, which seems to give it that last push into the egg, and also is critical to starting the zygote's life.»

In the case of the negative ion source, the small amount of cesium is injected into the ion source and the cesium - adsorbed surface of the so - called «plasma electrode» become activated to transfer the electron to hydrogen atoms and hydrogenous positive ions that are colliding on the surface.

Specifically, they measured hydrogen and its isotope, deuterium (hydrogen with an extra neutron in its nucleus) with ion microprobes, which use a focused beam of ions to sputter ions from a small rock sample into a mass spectrometer.

To balance the negative charge caused by the loss of positive hydrogen ions, sodium ions pass from the central saltwater chamber into the cathode chamber via another membrane.

In particular, a charged molecule called hydronium, which has three hydrogen atoms and one oxygen ion, can transform into water (plus an independent hydrogen atom) if it captures a free - floating electron.

When water molecules rise into the upper atmosphere, sunlight breaks the water into hydrogen ions which are fast and escape easily, and heavier oxygen ions which are carried away by the electric field.

Carbonic acid dissociated to form hydrogen ions, which found their way into the structures of weathering minerals, and bicarbonate, which was carried down rivers and streams to be deposited as limestone and other minerals in ocean sediments.

Once it sinks into the water, the carbon dioxide reacts with water molecules to form carbonic acid; the carbonic acid then releases hydrogen ions which in turn combine with carbonate ions (the ones that shellfish and other creatures need) removing them from the water.

Splitting a hydrogen molecule into a proton and a hydride ion (H --RRB-, known as activating the hydrogen, is vital for sustainable energy production and storage.

Through decades of research into heavy ion fusion, AFRD has long experience with induction accelerators — as does Livermore, which began building them in the 1960s for research into thermonuclear fusion (for applications such as hydrogen bombs).

In an artificial photosynthetic system, the oxidation of water molecules into oxygen, electrons and protons (hydrogen ions) provides the electrons needed to produce liquid fuels from carbon dioxide and water.

Dissolved hydrogen sulphide, H2S (aq), then penetrates the wood, where it is transformed into solid reduced sulphur compounds, such as thiols, R - SH (R denotes an organic part), in the lignin of the wood and to iron (II) sulphides when iron ions are available.

Most other nutrients, on the other hand, are more actively transported - there are certain receptors lining those intestinal cells (cells called enterocytes, if anybody cares) that pull salts, sugars, amino acids, etc. through the intestinal lining into the cells in exchange for other compounds (e.g. they'll pull in a hydrogen ion at the same time as an amino acid, then exchange the new hydrogen atom for a sodium molecule later.)

The Flanagan Silica MicroCluster is a unique form of silica hydride that safely stores negatively charged hydrogen ions, and releases them into the body whenever free radicals are encountered.

CARBOHYDRATE AND ENERGY METABOLISM Like proteins and fats, we break carbohydrates down into two - carbon units known as acetyl groups that then enter the pathways we use to break them down fully into the carbon dioxide that we exhale and the hydrogen ions and high - energy electrons that we use to synthesize ATP.

They think that when sunlight falls on the nanotubes it is able to split water molecules into two compounds, hydroxide radicals and hydrogen ions.

There has been quite a bit of worry about what happens when the methane hydrates on the Arctic shelf go blooie, but a factor not thought of by many is that since these hydrates are underwater, a fair amount of the methane will never reach the surface, but will first go into solution in the sea water, and later be oxidized to CO2, hydrogen carbonate and carbonate ions.

In order to sustain photosynthesis, corals actively pump hydrogen ions (H +) into the vesicles encapsulating their algal symbionts.

Diving into the composition of the material, they found that the primary components of packing peanuts are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen — at which point the team came upon the idea of trying to find a way to use the carbon to create an anode for a lithium ion battery.

Through the process of photosynthesis, green plants harness solar energy to split molecules of water into oxygen, hydrogen ions (protons) and free electrons.
