Electrochemical devices that convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity to power electric motors in aircraft.

A new catalyst combining a cobalt-nickel nano-alloy core enclosed within a single graphene layer, with ultralow platinum atoms precisely deposited by atomic layer deposition. The material achieves exceptional hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity and durability in proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis systems.[1]

A catalytic method for removing trace amounts of carbon monoxide from hydrogen gas streams. Previously limited to high-temperature operation with strict temperature ranges.

A major hydrogen automobile manufacturing facility being constructed in Guangdong province with backing from Hong Kong business magnate Li Ka-shing. Expected to produce 160,000 units annually within five years.

First Automobile Work's plan to mass-produce a hydrogen fuel cell version of its flagship Hongqi vehicle model.

USTC research project developing a novel catalyst structure using atomically dispersed iron hydroxide on platinum nanoparticles to enable hydrogen fuel cell operation across wide temperature ranges, particularly in cold conditions.

New generation hydrogen-powered vehicle planned for launch in 2015. Features less expensive and more efficient fuel cell technology developed by Honda.
