Direct dimethyl ether fuel cells represent a promising class of electrochemical energy converters that utilise the direct oxidation of dimethyl ether (DME) to generate electricity. Owing to DME’s high ...

A schematic shows the formate process. The top left shows a household powered by the direct formate fuel cell, with formate fuel stored in the underground tank. In the middle, the fuel cell that ...

Direct carbon fuel cells (DCFCs) are emerging as a promising technology that directly converts the chemical energy of solid carbon into electricity without intermediate fuel reforming. By employing ...

Researchers at MIT and Harvard University have developed an efficient process that can convert carbon dioxide into formate. Formate, in its liquid or solid form can be used to power a fuel cell and ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed an innovative electrochemical cell that efficiently converts captured carbon dioxide (CO2) into formate, a green fuel. This new system, ...

Fuel cells are not some novel new technology. In fact, most history books credit the invention of the fuel cell to Welsh chemist and physicist William Grove, who, in the late 1830s and early 1840s, ...

(Nanowerk News) The search is on worldwide to find ways to extract carbon dioxide from the air or from power plant exhaust and then make it into something useful. One of the more promising ideas is to ...
