University of Delaware engineers have demonstrated a way to effectively capture 99% of carbon dioxide from air using a novel electrochemical system powered by hydrogen.
University of Delaware engineers have demonstrated a way to effectively capture 99% of carbon dioxide from air using a novel electrochemical system powered by hydrogen.
It is a significant advance for carbon dioxide capture and could bring more environmentally friendly fuel cells closer to market.
The research team, led by UD Professor Yushan Yan, reported their method in Nature Energy on Thursday, February 3.
Game-Changing Tech for Fuel Cell Efficiency
Fuel cells work by converting fuel chemical energy directly into electricity. They can be used in transportation for things like hybrid or zero-emission vehicles.
