Funded Activity Summary
Lowering the barriers to a hydrogen technology: What slows proton conductors? When hydrogen burns the only product is water, therefore making it the most attractive form of clean energy. Central to the technological use of hydrogen is the need for a material through which only this element can pass, both so that the energy can be extracted and for purification. At present high temperatures are needed to allow hydrogen to pass through solids that exhibit this sieving property. Through state of the art computational methods the movement through these materials can be observed so that the regions that slow the hydrogen down can be identified. From this understanding it will be possible to design more efficient ways of producing energy that can provide clean air for cities and reliable power for remote communities.Funded Activity Details
