A century ago, a humble nickel–iron battery seemed destined for obscurity, but its rebirth could reshape how we make hydrogen. Today, researchers have fused Edison’s sturdy chemistry with modern renewables, creating a hybrid device that stores power and generates clean fuel. The result is an elegant bridge between intermittent energy and round‑the‑clock demand.
Are other electrolysers not able to generate hydrogen under pressure? From my rudimentary understanding of electrolysis, it is unclear to me how or why pressure would impact electrolysis.
This is still baffling to me. There are many articles about how solar and wind farms have to cut off their electricity because they generate too much of it. The solution to me seems obvious: generate hydrogen, don’t let it just go to waste. I have a few guesses why but would love to be able to speak to operators of those farms and hear it straight from them.
Other systems have to produce hydrogen at atmospheric pressure or close to it. It has to be pressurized later. This one can produce hydrogen already at a high pressure.
