In the 240th Session of the American Chemical Society national meeting, researchers 丹尼尔诺瑟 Jura said, he led the research team discovered a new type of catalyst, the electrolysis of water can produce 200 times the efficiency of oxygen, helps people develop a personalized power systems, so that families achieve self-sufficiency in electricity supply.
Personalized power systems include installed solar panels in the roof and on the floor of the electrolyzer. Solar panels for heating, cooking, lighting and electric vehicle charging power to provide electricity daily, while the electrolytic cell while the remaining use of solar energy to ordinary water into hydrogen and oxygen, then there are different cylinders in the sub- . At night or rainy days when the solar panel to stop working, gas cylinders stored hydrogen and oxygen fuel cell can produce electricity supply to ensure uninterrupted power supply system to meet the families of all electricity demand.
Nuo Sela said: “Our goal is to enable every family has its own power station. We are trying to develop the personal power generation system that can inexpensively produce, transport and installation.” However, he also believes that to achieve this goal, it needs to overcome certain obstacles, such as the improvement of existing fuel cells and solar cells. He believed that people can look forward to the near future, a village in India and Africa, the villagers have the ability to buy basic self-sufficiency in power generation systems.
Nuo Sela said that their work is to examine how high the water in the electrolyzer into hydrogen and oxygen. The past, people found a highly efficient catalyst for hydrogen production, but this time they developed the oxygen generating catalyst. The new low-cost catalysts, longer life, efficiency has increased 200 times, can replace the expensive platinum catalyst, thus eliminating the catalyst for the production of potentially harmful chemicals.
It is learned, Sun Catalytix has received the new oxygen catalyst in the manufacture of power products, the company over the next two years to produce for home and small business use of the safe and efficient electrolyzer.
