Scientists figured out how to convert polluted air into clean energy

• In an era of growing concern for the environment, scientists in Belgium have come up with the groundwork for one possible solution: converting air pollution into power.
• The device that can do it currently fits into the palm of a hand. It relies on solar power to convert polluted air compounds into stored hydrogen, a source of clean energy.
  
• It has two chambers separated by a membrane; one chamber cleans the air and the other generates the hydrogen gas. Air with a higher concentration of pollutants ultimately creates stronger electrical currents.
• This could be good news for cities such as Beijing, Delhi, India and Los Angeles, among many others. Read more (5/8/17)
