Technology Description
Combines Electricity Storage And Hydrogen Production In A Single System, The battolyser is based on the 'nickel-iron battery', a type promoted in the twentieth century particularly by Thomas Edison. Mulder commented, 'It's a very robust battery. Original examples are still working. Also, the raw materials are cheap and obtainable anywhere.' While the battery is charging, the electrodes produce two materials (NiOOH and reduced Fe), which are familiar in the world of electrolysis as a catalyst for the chemical reaction that produces hydrogen and oxygen. Thus, the electrodes, in their charged state, enable water to be electrolysed.

Entity Description
The research focus is on the fundamental and practical aspects of energy storage and conversion materials for renewable energy applications. The overall goal is to study materials and methods that can contribute to the large scale implementation of renewable energy storage, and with that can enable large scale introduction of varying renewable energy sources. The materials studied include hydrogen storage materials, battery materials and electrolytes. The fundamental aspects studied include the physical effects of nanostructuring, the reversibility of hydrogen and lithium storage materials, electrochemical reactions, and in general factors that enable efficient and durable functioning of the materials.
