Breaking up water: Controlling molecular vibrations to produce hydrogen
Lausanne, Switzerland (SPX) May 07, 2014 - Natural gas (methane) can be converted into hydrogen (H2), which is used in clean energy, synthetic fertilizers, and many other chemicals. The reaction requires water and a nickel catalyst. Methane and water molecules attach on the catalyst's surface, where they dissociate into their atomic components. These then recombine to form different compounds like H2 and CO. Previous research has f ... more
