Rice lab’s catalyst could be key for hydrogen economy

Rice University researchers have engineered a key light-activated nanomaterial for the hydrogen economy. Using only inexpensive raw materials, a team from Rice’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics, Syzygy Plasmonics Inc. and Princeton University’s Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment created a scalable catalyst that needs only the power of light to convert ammonia into clean-burning hydrogen fuel.

    There is something beautiful to the word catalyst, Usually anyway.

    I wasn't expecting to see some RAM coolers from Alphacool being used to cool the LEDs.

    Power plants have plenty of options, make the ammonia in deserts with solar power. Cars should make hydrogen onboard via battery and kinetic energy features though...(i:e regenerative breaking/wind drag...)...Cars should have battery that drives car, then physics makes enough hydrogen onboard in order to recharge secondary battery...but cars don't really need fueling stations if the hybrid design is optimized...and that's worth doing in order to be freed from charging stations need...Only thermodynamic limitation becomes battery charging cycle, and batteries are just improving....when supercapacitors happen, might not even need batteries...,Instead, bounce charge between two or three supercapacitors and it might allow enough current to run the cars...

    Funny: NH3 decomposition for the cheap H2 production. While NH3 itself is produced by H2 + N2 (Haber-Bosch process)… H2 is produced before that as singas from CH4… so again a fossil fuel is used to generate H2! (and CO2!)… now any H2 produced differently (by electrolisys for example - demands high energy consumption). Basic thermodynamcis just wont let you have that H2 :). An external source of energy is needed to have a negative balance… fision my friends or sun (fusion) is the only answer
