GWANGJU, South Korea, Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The energy demands of the world are ever increasing. In our quest for clean and eco-friendly energy solutions, transportable hydrogen energy offers considerable promise. In this regard, proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs) that convert excess electric energy into transportable hydrogen energy through water electrolysis have garnered remarkable interest. However, their widescale deployment for hydrogen production remains limited due to slow rates of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) – an important component of electrolysis – and high loading levels of expensive metal oxide catalysts, such as iridium (Ir) and ruthenium oxides, in electrodes. Therefore, developing cost-effective and high-performance OER catalysts is necessary for the widespread application of PEMWEs.

Key Points: 
  • In this regard, proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs) that convert excess electric energy into transportable hydrogen energy through water electrolysis have garnered remarkable interest.
  • Recently, a team of researchers from Korea and USA, led by Professor Chanho Pak from Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in Korea, has developed a novel mesoporous tantalum oxide (Ta2O5)-supported iridium nanostructure catalyst via a modified formic acid reduction method that achieves efficient PEM water electrolysis.
  • The study was co-authored by Dr. Chaekyung Baik, a post-doctoral researcher at Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST).
  • Together, this development takes us one step closer to achieving a sustainable transportable hydrogen energy solution and, in turn, carbon neutrality.

BUSAN, South Korea, March 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pipelines, lifelines of the oil and gas industry, can rupture unexpectedly and cause undesirable leaks. Normally, the integrity of pipelines is monitored in real-time using intrusive and non-intrusive sensor systems. While the former need to be pre-installed, the latter offer more flexibility but are limited by cost and environmental noise. Recently, researchers from Korea have proposed a low-cost non-intrusive sensor system for accurate pipeline damage detection. 

Key Points: 
  • Recently, researchers from Korea have proposed a low-cost non-intrusive sensor system for accurate pipeline damage detection.
  • Unexpected pipeline failures can lead to leakages that pollute the environment and compromise public safety, thereby underscoring the importance of accurate, real-time pipeline monitoring.
  • The researchers found that the novel sensor's measurements showed a 99.4% correlation with a commercial, intrusive sensor, emphasizing its accuracy.
  • The researchers then utilized the Euclidean distance method to determine where the sensors must be optimally placed in a pipeline network.
