Nanocapacitors with Big-Energy StorageThat's is 'optimistic'. In addition to this (or similar) technology [which is probably several years from *commercial* production], need advances in local and distributed generation / collection. By itself, this would still be a big help, if it can be scaled to a significant fraction of daily ...Phil Duby added 8 months ago

Researchers change shape of aluminum nanoparticles to produce hydrogen at room temperatureSince the article says: “It looks as though we might be able to come up with ways to remove the hydroxyl group (OH-) that remains attached to the aluminum clusters after they generate hydrogen so that we can reuse the aluminum clusters again and again,” the current nanoparticles are not really a ...Phil Duby added 9 months ago
