A new 3D design for electrodes enables the Battolyser™, a battery and electrolyser in one, to store twice the amount of electricity it could previously hold and do so four times faster. Researchers from Delft University of Technology have detailed their findings in the scientific journal Cell Reports Physical Science. The Battolyser now charges and produces hydrogen at a rate comparable to current electrolysers, all without relying on scarce precious metals. This increased capacity saves both space and costs.

The production of ammonia, essential for fertiliser production, is responsible for almost 1.5% of global carbon emissions. This needs to be greener, which is why researchers have been looking for sustainable alternatives for years.

NWO is funding two projects to explore ways to make the power demand of industry more flexible, allowing it to better align with future energy supplies. One of these projects, “DEFLAME,” is led by Machteld van den Broek from TU Delft.

As the digital age transforms the energy landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) offers more and more solutions for enhancing efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. In collaboration with EPRI Europe, TU Delft is spearheading the AI-EFFECT project, which focuses on accelerating the development, testing, and validation of AI applications in the energy sector.
