Hydrogen production using methane and molten tin has been demonstrated by a team of scientists at Samara State Technical University, Russia. The discoveries complement ongoing research into splitting methane into hydrogen gas and solid carbon or “methane pyrolysis” at...
Scientists from Zhejiang University, China and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a metallic tin coating for zinc anodes that increases the stability and lifetime of zinc-ion batteries. The batteries, which have a water-based electrolyte, may offer a...
Scientists at Shenzhen University, China are developing a ‘promising’ new tin-iron redox flow battery for low-cost, long-term energy storage. A family of similar iron-based redox flow batteries has been under development worldwide for long-term utility...
MIT’s Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Centre has awarded US$750,000 to undertake a research project using molten tin to produce hydrogen with no carbon dioxide emissions (CO2). The fund was designed to support projects that advance carbon...
The world needs to move towards a greener future, using fewer fossil fuels. Part of that future may be powered by hydrogen but the technology to do so must be cost-effective and durable. New research highlights tin as ‘promising alternative’ for cheaper...
The world needs to move towards a greener future, using fewer fossil fuels. Part of that future may be powered by hydrogen but it will need to be produced cost-effectively and sustainably. Two recent discoveries appear to enable this, with tin playing a central role....
