Researchers at the University of Buffalo have created spherical silicon nanoparticles they claim could lead to hydrogen generation on demand becoming a “just add water” affair. When the particles are ...

Spherical silicon nanoparticles about 10 nm in diameter could form the basis of new technologies that generate hydrogen for portable power applications. (Courtesy: Swihart Research Group, University ...

Super-small particles of silicon react with water to produce hydrogen almost instantaneously, without the need for light, heat or electricity, according to new research. Super-small particles of ...

The discovery of isotopes in the early 20 th century marked a key moment in the history of physics and led to a much more refined understanding of the atomic nucleus. Isotopes are ‘versions’ of a ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of researchers, led by Professor Jungki Ryu in the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering at UNIST and Professor Soojin Park from Pohang University of Science and Technology ...

While not a primary source of energy, hydrogen, because of its large energy density, provides a vehicle with which to store and transport energy. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells can use sunlight to ...

EPRO Advance Technology (EAT) has developed Si+, a porous silicon material, to generate ultra-pure hydrogen with volumetric energy density of 140 kg/m³ from a water source. The Hong Kong-based ...

Scientists found rocks deep inside Earth's mantle that generate hydrogen and could reveal clues about deep energy and the ...

Passivation of semiconductor surfaces is conveniently realized by terminating surface dangling bonds with a monovalent atom such as hydrogen using a simple wet chemical process (for example, HF ...

The faradaic reaction at the insulator is counterintuitive. For this reason, electroorganic reactions at the dielectric layer have been scarcely investigated despite their interesting aspects and ...
