Catalysts that prevent boil-off losses in liquid hydrogen production hold promise for a hydrogen-energy society

Catalysts that prevent boil-off losses in liquid hydrogen production hold promise for a hydrogen-energy society Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor A joint research team has discovered high-performance catalysts capable of significantly reducing "boil-off losses," which had been a longstanding issue in liquid hydrogen storage and transportation. These composite catalysts, in which metallic nanoparticles, such as iron, are supported on silicon dioxide (silica) or other...
