lass=box>Nanotechnology could be used to provide hydrogen for fuel cell powered vehicles, according to scientists at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
In a paper to be published next month, Medical News Today reports, the researchers describe how they make a finely textured surface of the metal iridium that can be used to extract hydrogen from ammonia, then captured and fed to a fuel cell.
"The nanostructured surfaces we're examining are model catalysts," said Ted Madey, professor of surface science in the physics department at Rutgers.
