The new design resolves one key challenge that has been a “thorn in the side” of the solar fuel club, which is how to speed up the flow of protons.Įach nanoscale tube contains a layer of silica embedded with short hydrocarbon chains, which Berkeley Lab describes as “molecular wires.” The wires connect to cobalt oxide inside the tube, and to a silica-titanium dioxide boundary on the outside. The new artificial leaf was created by a research team based at the Energy Department’s Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. Where were we? Oh right, billions of nanoscale tubes that generate solar fuel. You never know, maybe the methanol vehicle will make a comeback. Since there is already an extensive, existing infrastructure for methanol and similar liquids, then why not replace fossil methanol with renewable methanol. The wastewater treatment industry also favors methanol for removing excess nutrients from municipal effluent. On the other hand, methanol has a plethora of other uses in the chemical industry. The Energy Department is interested in methanol because it is less expensive and less flammable than gasoline, and it can supplement the domestic fuel pipeline, but since nobody is making methanol cars any more that’s kind of a moot point. Methanol can also be produced from other carbon-based renewable materials. If you were going to make a methanol vehicle for the sparkling green future, then you would want to use a renewable source for your fuel.įor that matter, the original source of methanol is wood, as in wood alcohol. That doesn’t sound too promising, but methanol is commonly produced by steam-reforming natural gas.

Methanol use in vehicles has declined dramatically since the early 1990s, and automakers no longer manufacture methanol vehicles in the United States. As an engine fuel, methanol has chemical and physical fuel properties similar to ethanol. Methanol (CH 3OH), also known as wood alcohol, is considered an alternative fuel under the Energy Policy Act of 1992. So many questions! Let’s turn to our friends over at the US Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center for an answer: Please see and sample of the solar fuel tile material, made by atomic layer deposition at Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Foundry by Marilyn Sargent/Berkeley Lab Why Solar Fuel?
