Catalysts that prevent boil-off losses in liquid hydrogen production hold promise for a hydrogen-energy society
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 low-cost oxide, demonstrate significantly superior performance compared to conventional iron oxide-based catalysts.
