For several years the European Union (E.U.) has been promoting the use of biofuels due to their potential benefits such as the reduction of dependence on foreign energy imports (the raw materials can be produced within the E.U.), the more stable fossil fuel prices (they can replace fossil fuels on the market), the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction (biofuels' raw materials fix C0 2 from the atmosphere) and the fact

“…Hydrogen can be produced from many sources, and the various sources for hydrogen energy production along with associated advantages and disadvantages are provided in Table 1 [12][13][14][15][16]. The ratio of hydrogen production from various sources are roughly 48% from natural gas, 30% from oils, 18% from coal and only 4% from electrolysis [8,9].…”

“…Because H 2 is the ultimate energy carrier in which produced H 2 can be converted to electricity by using fuel cell technologies, the use of renewable electricity to electrolyse water for the production of hydrogen (H 2 ) is the ultimate method of energy storage among the different available electrochemical energy technologies. Therefore, the development of water electrolysis technologies for H 2 production is of great urgency and importance [8][9][10].…”

The study of hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts for water electrolysis is a developing field in which noble metal-based materials are commonly used. However, the associated high cost and low abundance of noble metals limit their practical application. Non-noble metal catalysts, aside from being inexpensive, highly abundant and environmental friendly, can possess high electrical conductivity, good structural tunability and comparable electrocatalytic performances to state-of-the-art noble metals, particularly in alkaline media, making them desirable candidates to reduce or replace noble metals as promising electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. This article will review and provide an overview of the fundamental knowledge related to water electrolysis with a focus on the development and progress of non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts in alkaline, polymer exchange membrane and solid oxide electrolysis. A critical analysis of the various catalysts currently available is also provided with discussions on current challenges and future perspectives. In addition, to facilitate future research and development, several possible research directions to overcome these challenges are provided in this article.

“…Although the world's reserves of fossil fuels are still vast, as the number of cars continues to increase, these non-renewable sources of energy will eventually run out [10][11][12]. The world's car ownership is huge, and the amount of oil consumed every day is enormous.…”

Abstract. Because of the increasingly serious problems of environmental pollution and non-renewable energy shortage, in recent years, the world has been vigorously developing new energy vehicles, especially electric vehicles. Electric vehicles with solar energy as an auxiliary energy source can reduce the demand for power generation and charging stations for excessive electric vehicles during peak hours. In the present study, a solar electric vehicle was built, in which batteries and solar panel jointly provided power for car operations. In order to ensure that the electricity of solar panel can be safely and continuously supplied to the motor, this paper designed an intelligent charging controller with three work mode to connect the solar panel and batteries. Through reasonable charging strategy, this technology can maximize the use of solar energy, and ensure the safety and service life of the battery. Real vehicle test results show that the solar intelligent charging technology has obvious effect on the expansion of vehicle endurance, and also show that the integration of solar panel into the body design is an effective means to deal with the energy crisis in the future.
