Recycling platinum: Researchers achieve breakthrough in developing fuel cells for the next wave of green energy
Fuel cells are electrochemical cells that combine hydrogen with oxygen to generate electricity, water, and heat. The market for these devices has been growing since the early 2010s, primarily due to their efficiency and independence conventional fuels. In order for fuel cells to function, however, they require the rare precious metal platinum. To that end, […]

Researchers develop a fuel cell from lignin, a byproduct of paper manufacturing
A waste product of the paper industry may become a source of renewable fuel in the near future, an article in Science Daily states. Swedish researchers have come up with a new fuel cell that runs on lignin. Lignin is very widespread in nature. It serves as the glue that holds together the cellulose fibers […]
