Awesome!
"Eventually, the team overcame these issues by trial and error, and discovered an active and stable catalyst by inserting manganese into the spinel lattice of Co3O4, producing the mixed cobalt manganese oxide Co2MnO4."
*This is Platinum Chloride mixed with 50/50 Graphite and Activated charcoal powder and then baked at 1200C. to activate. PtC*
The nice thing about Platinum group metals is that they are recyclable and lose little of their value in doing so. There is a pretty stiff initial investment, but it is returned on recycling.
The catalyst is likely made of a solution of Mn(NO3)2 and Co(NO3)2 in a specific ratio saturated dissolved in water then diluted to 4-8 times its volume in a carrier like methanol/ethanol. and baked at 410C in several layers.
Oh.. Ethanol..? Making hygrogen by simple aluminum make active lattice structure and ground. Dissolve it water.. Thermal treatment try to make it.. My assumption... 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@yasarali45 Yes the coating is made by dissolving these nitrates in water and adding ethanol then thermal baking. But you cannot use aluminum as substrate as it has to be a valve metal/material that passivates as an anode. These are Titanium, Niobium, Tantalum, Silicon
@@CatboyChemicalSociety ok.. they were a news came about white hydrogen.muddy alkaline buffer environment make iron to precipitate hygrogen..??
@@yasarali45 I rather use this catalyst to make ammonium perchlorate instead of hydrogen by pairing it with MnSb
@@yasarali45 thats iron for the purpose of reduction of nitro groups
What voltage(s) were you applying to obtain this reaction - specifically the 1 Amp reaction
Super!
if only youtube would allow uploading videos longer than 41 seconds...
in their defense, they're merely using youtube to host multimedia content of their paper (link to publication in video description)
How many watt?
And the oxigen part?
assuming this is the anode because its the oxide what is the oxygen evolution potential of this mixture because it should atleast be comparable or lower than industry standard 1.3V for Ir-Ta.
OH MY STARS! WOW!
Catalyst only lower the activation energy but have no impact on the energy needed to electrolise water. This may increase the efficiency of producing hydrogen from below 80% but does nothing for the high costs of storage and transport or the low efficiency and high cost of fuel cells.
Toyota is in the final stages of developing a combustion hydrogen engine. Other companies are working on solutions to store it at room temperature but only time will tell if any of them is commercially feasible.
@@exukvera A fools folly. Once oil and natural gas supplies drop below the elastic demand and that is only a few years away the cost of producing H2 will increase proportionally. Private motor vehicles will be a luxury for the rich as was the case a century ago, no matter the energy source. A decade or so after that food supplies will become a serious problem. Problem for people to be able to pay for. The only accurate thing in economics is: "Supply will meet the demand that has the ability to pay". The ability to pay is disappearing for a large portion of the global population.
you could simply hook a car battery in the trunk to the system with an amplifier like to a car stereo and you wouldn't have to store hydrogen you can generate it on demand and as a gas it doesn't have to be atomized by the fuel injector so it's more efficient
@@Aaron-zu3xn Why don't you get it working and patent it?
@@dan2304 the cost to grow food is insanely low, even as inefficient as it currently is. vertical indoor farming is bonkers on output vs inputs. the doomerism is unfounded.
what is the voltage ised in this experiment and who is making that catalyst?
al np?
Bullock-cart is the best.
One of the most pressing issues we face today is finding a renewable and environmentally friendly solution to transport and logistics.
Hydrogen holds immense promise as a potential solution to this problem.
Hydrogen can be used to power Hydrogen fuel cell cars or can be used in certain types of ICE such as a liquid piston engine.
If Hydrogen could be produced rapidly end efficiently using a catalyst then it's possible that one day cars could generate their own hydrogen to use as fuel. The fuel tank could contain a catalyst and would only need to be filled with water.
If the catalyst makes the process efficient enough it doesn't matter if it requires electricity.
The hydrogen could then be used as fuel for a liquid piston rotary engine (these engines work well with hydrogen), and the only emissions would be steam.
If this is possible then I hope this is the direction green automotive technology goes in the future. Cars would handle very similarly as they'd still be using an ICE, but running costs would be so much cheaper and it'd be good for the environment.
it would reduce the cost of living a lot. it would practically eliminate fuel costs, and because it would make the transport of goods so much cheaper, logistics networks costs would be massively reduced which would cause the price of goods to come down a lot.
One thing that needs to be tackled if we want to use catalyst, though, is the availability of said catalyst.
Liquid piston is pointless when fuel cells exist, are less prone to failure and more efficient.
That is true but we still need a safer way to store hydrogen
I am curious about whether it will at some point be possible to create a hydrogen on demand combustion vehicle? Ie just enough hydrogen would be produced at any passing moment to be injected and combusted inside an adapted engine so that it would not have to be stored. I think the main argument against hydrogen combustion is that hydrogen needs to be stored in compressed tanks. What if it didn’t? What if you completely bypass storage and have the catalyst progressively only making enough gas to drive each piston at that given second in time and then keep creating more for each explosion as time goes on. Will this ever be possible? Obviously there would still have to be an electrical component to split water but if the demonstration in this video is accurate it appears that it may very well be possible and also efficient enough to replace petroleum and battery only vehicles? I’m not saying it is possible yet but could it theoretically be done?
daniel dingle, archie blue, stanley meyer, herman p.anderson... now go research
Then you need to store the electricity to release the hydrogen fromt he water. This will require even bigger batteries than a normal EV because of the lower efficiency.
Yes, my company have created a technology that converts hydrogen into a battery that can be used to power vehicles and devices...
@@jimj2683 It's unclear from the demonstration how much hydrogen is actually being produced in volumetric terms and therefore difficult to tell if it would actually be viable. We're seeing the electrical input required to release varying amounts of hydrogen but unless there is a measure of how much hydrogen is coming out then it remains something of an enigma. Perhaps one day it will be possible to do what I asked in my original question but I'm sure there are plenty who will say that this is impossible due to the physical limitations of thermodynamics. Have you seen the video of Genepax in Tokyo? Looks like they had a little car which was splitting water somehow and reconverting outputting as electrical energy to drive their vehicle. Seemed a bit suspicious and the company has since disappeared as far as I can see however the videos do look convincing. I suppose looking at this whole concept from the outside with limited knowledge of physics and chemistry, the big question is can we not use hydrogen as we literally have seas full of it. I agree that splitting H2O is the problem. It's all about input vs output. If the amount of hydrogen being released in his video can produce energy that is close to the charge being applied to release it then perhaps viable but I doubt it's even close at this stage.
@@chinedubalone2107 I'm very interested to learn more about this!
What is it? It’s not Cobalt Nitrite?
it's a cobalt manganese electrocatalyst. specifically, Co2MnO4

@@rikenenglishchannel Hello dear
, I am doing research on water splitting using photo catalysts to produce hydrogen, and the laboratory results can be seen at the following link . This photo catalyst performs water splitting activity in direct sunlight.

@@rikenenglishchannel Have you tried Graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C3N4)? This compound could be easily produced by using urea. very cheaper and efficient.
Also this method use electricity to produce hydrogen
We need to find way without use electricity
If the catalyst makes the process efficient enough it doesn't matter if it requires electricity.
Electricity can be produced renewably and efficiently (Nuclear power is a particularly powerful and benign source of electricity).
The more difficult issue is finding an environmentally friendly solution to transport.
Hydrogen holds immense promise as a potential solution to this problem.

It's not economical to use electricity yet, because much of our power comes from fossil fuel power stations that are only about 30% efficient in generating electricity, the rest being waste CO2. So you reduce carbon emissions substantially by putting available electricity into the power grid, rathan than electrolysis. However, in time that could change.
This is the way to do it. First find a reliable clean fuel, then develop an automobile that can run on it. Not the other way around.
Hydrogen will power all the cars once fusion makes its debut. The nonfusable 99.9..% waste will be diverted to gas stations. That juicy deuterium will be what drives this forward.

A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction. It has no influence on the amount of energy consumed.
Here is a copy of a news cast focusing on a small police force using hho systems for their vehicles. ua-cam.com/video/9yV5HZlNiO0/v-deo.html
Yawwnnn-Back in 1977 I read about a Japanese catalyst to do the same. Titillating news makes for clicks & views, as affordable hydrogen remains always in the future.
😂😂😂... Making such salt need much energy....enthalpy is main issue.. That's why petrol make different 👍👍
well this catalyst is more useful for other stuff like making oxidizers like ammonium perchlorate and also general inert electrochem maybe organic synthesis.
And where do you get electricity from? Not sustainable.
Ideally, the electricity being used would be from a renewable source. but in this context, sustainable is mostly referring to the catalyst.
