Expert: Bolstering cardiac arrest survival rates
University of Illinois Chicago
University of Illinois Chicago engineers have helped design a new method to make hydrogen gas from water using only solar power and agricultural waste such as manure or husks. The method reduces the energy needed to extract hydrogen from water by 600%, creating new opportunities for sustainable, climate-friendly chemical production.
