Computational Studies of Hydrogen Production from Methanol Using Coal as Catalyst

Recent technology development of alternatif energy sources as a substitute for fossil-fuels had produced hydrogen-fueled fuel-cell as a potential substituent. Recently, research on the improvement of fuel-cell's efficiency and also the production of the hydrogen fuel itself have been intensifie...
