How to engineer a renewable deuterium–helium-3 fusion fuel cycle
To create electricity from fusion using a D–³He fuel cycle, we must engineer a machine that can both operate with and abundantly generate fuels for sustained use.
A Promising Alternative for Sustainable and Highly Efficient Solar
This study opens a new avenue to discover promising photocatalytic deuterium generation systems for advanced solar energy utilization and deuterium enrichment.
Science Made Simple: What Is Deuterium-Tritium Fusion Reactor Fuel?
When deuterium and tritium fuse, they create a helium nucleus, which has two protons and two neutrons. The reaction releases an energetic neutron. Fusion power plants would convert
A Promising Alternative for Sustainable and Highly Efficient Solar
Motivated by energy shortages and in view of current efforts to develop clean, renewable energy sources based on fusion, a solar-driven strategy has been developed for deuterium evolution.
Deuterium gas tubes for solar power generation
Solar, wind, and the less developed geothermal and tidal power, while attractive, cannot be expected to supply energy in the vast amounts required in the immediate future.
Production and Application of Deuterium Gas
In fuel cells, deuterium gas combines with oxygen to produce water, releasing a large amount of energy, which can be used in power generation and automotive applications.
