Supercharging methanol for fuel cells | Chemistry World
Supercharging methanol for fuel cells | Chemistry World - Scientists in Germany and Italy have discovered a way to derive hydrogen gas from methanol at low temperatures and pressures using soluble ruthenium-based ‘pincer’ catalysts. The finding is potentially significant because it opens the way to using methanol as a hydrogen carrier for proton-exchange membrane fuel cells in vehicles. Such fuel cells consume hydrogen gas to create electricity, with water as the only by-product.(10.1038/nature11891)
