Benefits of Hydrogen As Energy Carrier

Benefits of Hydrogen As Energy Carrier Hydrogen is one of the simplest and most abundant elements on our planet—it contains only one proton and one electron. Hydrogen can store and deliver usable energy, but it doesn’t typically exist by itself in nature. It is a clean and flexible energy carrier. But the benefits of Hydrogen stretch beyond it being merely …

Run Electrolyzers to colonize Mars

It is not a joke but a viable plan when we need to colonize Mars one day. First thing first, why we need Electrolyzers for the colonization? Electrolyzers can produce many useful products that human needs. In a previous post, Electrolyzer Store introduced that a water electrolyzer can turn water into hydrogen and oxygen. Similarly, a CO2 electrolyzer can turn …

Fuel Cell Basics

We have all heard about fuel cells. But do we know how they actually work? In this post we will give you a crash course on fuel cell basics. The purpose of a fuel cell is to produce an electrical current that can be directed outside the cell to do work, such as fueling an electric motor or illuminating a …

How do we get Hydrogen on earth?

Nature can not collect hydrogen directly. However, modern technologies enable us to make hydrogen in the following three major ways. Steam reforming (SR) process: The feedstock for this process is natural gas. First, natural gas goes through desulphurization process to prevent catalyst poisoning. Second, the natural gas mixed with water steam enters in a reactor called reformer at very high …

fuel cell vs electrolyzer

Hydrogen Fuel Cell vs Electrolyzer

A Hydrogen Fuel cell is an electrochemical device. It combines hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to produce electricity. The device also produces water as byproduct. A Electrolyzer is also an electrochemical device. It uses electricity to break water molecule into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. You can tell both electrochemical reactions above are very similar. But the two reactions are …
