Instant hydrogen production using Ga-In-Sn-Bi alloy-activated Al-water reaction for hydrogen fuel cells

Hydrogen-based electric cars have all the potential to be the ultimate sustainable mobility solution: 100% clean in emissions, much more autonomy and recharge speeds similar to those of combustion.

But it still has a series of problems that prevent the adoption of hydrogen as a fuel from being a reality, including how expensive and dangerous its transportation is.

To end this problem, a group of Chinese scientists are developing a method of generating hydrogen in situ and on demand from an alloy of metals, gallium, indian, tin and bismuth.

That is, they have discovered a controllable mechanism to produce hydrogen on demand and in real time, although for the moment on a small scale.

It would remain to solve the problem of recycling and the environmental impact. In addition, the problem of heat dissipation in the hydrogen reaction process also needs to be optimized.
