Recently, the University of Toronto in Canada has developed a color adhesive material, which may pave the way
for a new cheap storage method for renewable energy.
When spread onto a metal strip and energized, the material breaks water molecules up to 3 times faster and much less expensive than existing commonly used materials
.
Zhang Bo, a visiting researcher at the University of Toronto, said the miraculous colloidal material he developed can act as a catalyst to split water into hydrogen and oxygen
.
The key to the associated hydrolysis process is the use of relatively cheap and abundant tungsten metal
.
Tungsten itself does not decompose water, but it can change the properties of other components, especially iron-cobalt oxides, under the action of catalysts, making the decomposition of water easier
.
What's more, the new material can be made at room temperature and is as easy to use
as adhesive stickers when made.
The new colloidal material could facilitate the development of
hydrolysis technology on an industrial scale.
During this process, oxygen as a byproduct is normally released into the atmosphere, while hydrogen is stored
.
This hydrogen can then be combined with oxygen again in the fuel cell to produce energy
.
Storage has been a challenge in the renewable energy sector, and battery technology has failed to provide a cheap and long-term means
of storing electricity in large quantities.
The advantage of the new technology is that electricity generated by intermittent renewable energy sources (e.
g.
solar, wind) can be stored for indefinite use in the future
.
The key to this technology is the use of tungsten metal, and the application of tungsten materials is expected to expand.
