Scientist are faced with a big challenge with hydrogen production, there are 2 ways of producing hydrogen, 1 that uses old fossil fuels which isn’t very green, and another that is great for the planet but is still a bit expensive. Now if they can figure out a way to produce hydrogen thru electrolysis and get the cost down it could prove to be an abundant clean energy source in the future. Well I have good news, there has been another breakthrough in hydrogen production.
So how do we produce Hydrogen? Well the most common way at this time, is thru the process of natural gas reforming. But producing hydrogen in this manner has some serious downsides. It produces harmful by products named carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. I'm not gonna go crazy in-depth on how gas reformation works but this process isn’t green at all let me just leave it there.
There is a green way to produce hydrogen, by using electrolysis, but it uses loads of energy which makes it more expensive. But I have good news.
A new study published in Applied Nano Materials found a way to strip the oxygen from water molecules to leave the hydrogen gas.
and today we will go more in depth on how it works.
