Team synthesizes cost-effective and durable non-precious metal alloy as an alternative to iridium oxide anodes
Credit: Yoshikazu Ito Despite the growing importance of hydrogen as a future energy source, transporting gaseous hydrogen safely and on a large scale remains challenging. Researchers are exploring ways to transport hydrogen in the form of liquid methylcyclohexane (MCH) by reacting it with toluene. One such approach is organic hydride electrosynthesis. In this process, toluene is transferred from the cathode…
