QuantumSphere, Inc. to Present Breakthrough Efficiencies in Hydrogen
Generation at the National Hydrogen Association Meeting in San Antonio
on March 22, 2007
Santa Ana, CA – March 15, 2007 – QuantumSphere,
Inc., a leading manufacturer of nano metals and alloys for applications in
portable power, renewable energy, electronics and other markets demanding
advanced materials, announces the presentation of their sponsored hydrogen
generation research. Robert Dopp of DoppStein Enterprises, Inc. will be presenting
his research at the National Hydrogen Society meeting in San Antonio on March
22, 2007.
The presentation titled "Hydrogen Generation via Water Electrolysis
Using Highly Efficient Nanometal Electrodes" covers recent research
into the effect of the use of QSI-Nano® catalysts mixed with larger electrode
components to give hydrogen generation efficiencies well above the U.S. Department
of Energy’s 2010 targets, and well ahead of the literature to date.
The presentation will cover the basics of water electrolysis and provide
data demonstrating the efficiencies of electrodes made from compressed nano
catalysts. The most impressive data however is a new concept in electrode
design known as Stingray, which runs at very high rates and exceptional efficiencies.
The patent pending portable device is a dramatic departure from conventional
water electrolyzers used for hydrogen generation. New electrode and system
design allows for nearly a sevenfold increase in clean hydrogen production,
while maintaining efficiencies in excess of 85%. Achieving these levels of
performance will help accelerate the hydrogen economy and could ultimately
be used to generate clean burning fuel – on demand – for hydrogen fuel
cells used in mass transportation.
This hydrogen generation breakthrough will be a presentation well worth attending!
