@PD @lecture @biofuels

  • Last lecture with Dunne.
  • Oxygen evolved at one electrode to ‘provide’ electrons for hydrogen evolution reaction.
  • Catalysts are platinum based so very expensive.
  • Reaction happens at active sites on catalyst. Want more surface area.
  • Supports might be used to help with some portion of the reaction.
  • I feel like a 50 min YouTube video, you would expect to get a lot of information out of, yet I sit in 50 min classes most days and seem to get little if anything out of them.
  • For sorption storage methods, need low temperatures because any slight temperature and hydrogen would just dissociate from surface.
  • There also has to be a ‘want’ to understand. Maybe that doesn’t always coincide with the lecture I suppose.
  • Also, I’m hungry/hangry.
