SANTA CLARITA, Calif, Oct. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NewHydrogen, Inc. (OTC:NEWH), the developer of a inexperienced hydrogen generator (electrolyzer), right this moment reported that it has begun the prototype improvement of a full electrolyzer that may showcase its novel low-cost and high-performance catalyst expertise. The prototype will function a platform for incorporating extra electrolyzer element improvements to be developed by NewHydrogen going ahead.
The purpose of NewHydrogen’s sponsored analysis on the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) is to decrease the fee of inexperienced hydrogen by systematically lowering the fee and growing the efficiency of essential parts of hydrogen turbines. These electrolyzers break up water into oxygen and hydrogen and at the moment depend on uncommon supplies comparable to iridium and platinum, which account for a substantial portion of the fee.
In 2021, researchers at UCLA funded by NewHydrogen developed a low-cost oxygen catalyst that doesn’t use costly iridium and considerably improved the efficiency of PEM electrolyzers. Also developed have been hydrogen catalysts that use an order of magnitude much less platinum or no platinum in any respect.
The Company is now getting into the stage of incorporating its novel oxygen and hydrogen catalysts into a full prototype electrolyzer. As the Company expands its expertise focus past catalysts, this prototype will function a platform to incorporate extra element improvements associated to gasoline diffusion layer, ion alternate membrane, and catalyst layer. The Company’s final purpose is to develop a low-cost and high-performance electrolyzer consisting of a number of breakthrough parts.
The researchers will first systematically conduct acidic water splitting through the use of the business platinum and iridium-based catalysts to judge the benchmark efficiency of present business catalysts and arrange a normal testing protocol. They will then consider the efficiency of the Company’s new catalysts within the prototype electrolyzer, such because the exercise transition into electrolytic cell, long run stability, hydrogen manufacturing fee, particular vitality consumption and estimated general prices of new catalysts.
“We are very pleased to see the exciting progress being made in our green hydrogen program at UCLA,” mentioned Dr. David Lee, CEO of NewHydrogen. “We look forward to seeing more exciting achievements as we methodically expand our technology focus beyond catalysts in 2023.”
About NewHydrogen, Inc.
NewHydrogen is growing a breakthrough inexperienced hydrogen generator (electrolyzer) that makes use of renewable vitality to provide low-cost inexperienced hydrogen. Hydrogen is the cleanest and most considerable gasoline within the universe. It is zero-emission and solely produces water vapor when used. Unfortunately, hydrogen doesn’t exist in its pure type on Earth so it have to be extracted from a supply that incorporates hydrogen. For centuries, scientists have identified tips on how to break up water into hydrogen and oxygen utilizing a easy and stylish machine known as an electrolyzer. However, electrolyzers are nonetheless very costly. NewHydrogen plans on growing a number of element improvements to allow the following era of low value electrolyzers. The Company’s preliminary focus is on changing and lowering costly uncommon earth supplies, to assist usher in the inexperienced hydrogen economy that Goldman Sachs estimated to have a future market worth of $12 trillion.
