Harnessing the Power of Green Hydrogen: Swiss Researchers Develop Thin Air Electrodes

Swiss university researchers have developed thin electrodes that are capable of extracting hydrogen directly from the air. This green hydrogen is a promising energy source because it is produced using renewable energy sources and can be stored and transported easily. While the prototype has achieved a relatively low yield, further research is needed to make this technology more efficient.

The Basics of Hydrogen

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, and it is the lightest of all elements. It is a colorless, odorless gas at room temperature and pressure, and it is highly flammable. Hydrogen has a single electron in its outer shell and forms compounds with other elements such as oxygen to form water. It can also be used to generate electricity through fuel cells or combustion engines. In addition, hydrogen can be used to produce ammonia and methanol, which are important industrial chemicals.
