What Is A Fuel Cell ?

The fuel cell can trace its roots back to the 1800s when a Welsh-born, Oxford-educated barrister, Sir William Robert Grove, realized that if electrolysis, using electricity, could split water into hydrogen and oxygen, then the opposite would also be true. Grove subsequently built a device that would combine hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity—the world’s first gas battery, later renamed the fuel cell. (more…)

Method for Storing Hydrogen by Xenon

storing hydrogen method
Scientists at the Carnegie Institution have found that using a high pressure can create a very unique material for storing hydrogen. The discovery opens the door to a whole new way of addressing the problem of hydrogen storage.

Researchers have found that xenon, a noble gas that normally is not reactive, combines with molecular hydrogen (H2) under pressure to form a compound previously unknown. (more…)
