A team of several researchers at the Germany-based institute developed a "hydrogen paste", which bears a resemblance to toothpaste and could one day be used to power vehicles.
According to foreign media, the Telegraph reports, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials (IFAM), led by Marcus Vogt, called their product - which could be revolutionary in the transport sector - "Powerpaste". .
As it turns out, the main ingredient of the paste is magnesium hydride, a compound that, when introduced into water, reacts with it to form hydrogen and magnesium hydroxide.
It would be placed in vehicles in the form of a "canister" and to refuel, a driver would replace a used hydrogen canister with a new one and then fill the tank with water.
According to the researchers, the "paste" offers a safe, at least initially, convenient and affordable hydrogen fuel option for small vehicles such as scooters, or in flying drones.
The paste has a high energy storage density, Vogt said, adding that it stores more energy per liter and per kilogram than gasoline or batteries can provide.
Moreover, unlike a battery, the paste does not gradually lose its stored energy if left "unused".
Otherwise, in an effort to combat climate change and global warming in recent years, many companies and countries have shifted their focus to hydrogen-based energy solutions. /Telegraph/
