Researchers develop catalytic H2 technology for electric vehicles

0

A team of University of Massachusetts Lowell (UMass Lowell) researchers have pioneered a new way to power electric vehicles. The new technology uses water, carbon dioxide and the metal cobalt to produce hydrogen gas on demand at a relatively low temperature and pressure.

The innovation, developed by Chemistry Department Chairman Professor David Ryan and a group of UMass Lowell students, will enable electric vehicles to run longer while maintaining zero emissions.

In an electric vehicle, the hydrogen created by the team’s method would go directly to a fuel cell, where it would mix with oxygen from the atmosphere to generate electricity and water.
