Increasing depletion of oil reserves for fuel, made of experts around the brain to develop renewable energy sources. Now, there are recent findings that allow a motor vehicle fuel be replaced by the urine. Scientists have created a catalyst that can extract hydrogen energy sources originating from urine.
Catalyst not only can be a source of energy for hydrogen-fueled cars in the future, but also can help clean the environment, especially in the handling of waste water. Such information is quoted from the Times of India, Friday (10/7/2009). Gerardine Botte and his team from Ohio University utilize elektrolik approach to produce hydrogen from the urine. Substances urine is the most abundant waste in the world largely composed of elements of urea. Meanwhile, urea is a potential element to serve as hydrogen. In each molecule of urine, there are four hydrogen atoms joined to each other. Hydrogen atoms in the urine is stronger than the hydrogen atoms in water molecules. Botte and his team use electrolysis to separate these molecules, to develop nickel-based electrodes to oxidize efisien.Selama urea in the electrochemical process, urea is absorbed by the nickel electrode surface and the electron flow is needed to break down molecules, "Botte said. To break the molecules , the electricity required by 0:37 V. The element for separating water, require less electrical energy than 1:23 V.
