A multifaceted approach to hydrogen storage

Bengt Kasemo

The widespread adoption of hydrogen as an energy carrier could bring significant benefits, but only if a number of currently intractable problems can be overcome. Not the least of these is the problem of storage, particularly when aimed at use onboard ligh ...

Recent Progress in Metal Borohydrides for Hydrogen Storage

The prerequisite for widespread use of hydrogen as an energy carrier is the development of new materials that can safely store it at high gravimetric and volumetric densities. Metal borohydrides M(BH 4) n (n is the valence of metal M), in particular, have ...

Hydrogen Storage and Delivery: The Carbon Dioxide – Formic Acid Couple

Gabor Laurenczy

Carbon dioxide and the carbonates, the available natural C-1 sources, can be easily hydrogenated into formic acid and formates in water; the rate of this reduction strongly depends on the pH of the solution. This reaction is catalysed by ruthenium(II) pre- ...

Performance of a metal hydride store on the "Ross Barlow'' hydrogen powered canal boat

Andreas Züttel

This project involved the conversion of a British Waterways maintenance craft to a canal boat, powered by a combination of a solid-state hydrogen store, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell, lead-acid battery pack and a high-efficiency, permanent magne ...

Physical aspects of hydrogen adsorption in microporous materials

Wendy Lee Queen

Physico-chem. adsorption of mols. in microporous materials has long been used in industrial processes and significant efforts have been expended in understanding the myriad of structure-property relationships of interest. Efforts are currently being applie ...

Boron nitride multiwall nanotubes decorated with BN nanosheets

Pierre Stadelmann

We report a simple chemical-route to BN multiwall nanotubes decorated with nanosheets. These nanostructures have been prepared on a large scale from a simple unique chemical process under an ammonia flow onto the surface of an alumina substrate, using carb ...

Experimental Evaluation of a Haptic Interface for Endoscopic Simulation

Hannes Bleuler, Evren Samur, Lionel Flaction

The main goal of virtual reality based surgery simulators with haptic feedback is to provide an alternative to traditional training methods on animals, cadavers or real patients. Haptic feedback is a key feature for every surgery simulator for the training ...

Rotational Motion in LiBH4/LiI Solid Solutions

Pascal Martelli

We investigated the localized rotational diffusion of the (BH 4)- anions in LiBH4/LiI solid solutions by means of quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering. The (BH 4)- motions are thermally activated and characterized by activation energies in the ord ...

Development of a motorized binding for ski touring auto-adapting its height with the slope

Sébastien Allemand

The idea is to integrate a rotating or linear motor in a touring ski binding and automatically adapt the heel height according to the slope the user is mounting. This would avoid multiple painful movements of the skier to raise or lower the heels. The slop ...
