Hydrogen fuel cells have long been floated as a potential platform for zero-emission vehicles, but problems with efficiency and storage have put up some roadblocks. Rather than using hydrogen in ...

Matthias Beller and his team at the Leibniz Institute of Catalysis in Rostock have succeeded in the controlled extraction of hydrogen from formic acid without the need for a high-temperature ...

A micro fuel cell recharges the battery allowing extended operation. The power packs are refuelled by swapping out a cartridge containing formic acid. Neil Huff, President and CEO of Tekion, said, "We ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has made a significant breakthrough in sustainable technology through the development ...

Formic acid fuel cells would find numerous applications. They would be particularly suitable in portable electronic devices -- mobile phones, laptops or GPS-based devices.

New research shows that formic acid could be used as a safe, easy-to-transport source of hydrogen for fuel cells. Matthias Beller and his colleagues at the Leibniz Institute of Catalysis, in ...

Formic acid fuel cells require nanosized intermetallic nanoparticles as anode catalysts, but current techniques are poor at producing the small size required. Now, surface-modified ordered ...

Researchers at Princeton University have converted CO2 into water and formic acid by using an electrochemical cell powered by a commercially available solar panel.

CHAMPAIGN – Two Canadians in search of a new technology found one they liked at the University of Illinois, so they're starting a fuel-cell company in Champaign.Neil Huff and David ...

The use of formic acid for “hydrogen storage” allows the advantages of established hydrogen/oxygen fuel cell technology to be combined with those of liquid fuels.

Research team in Switzerland deliver HYFORM-PEMFC, the world’s first formic acid based fuel cell Hydrogen has long been seen as the future of clean energy, but storing and transporting the gas safely ...
