Crosswires, The 'sell on news' adage contradicts you statement maybe...

[crosswires] 24/7/2020 09:51

"No news is good news" is a very odd thing to say to investors because that is not how share prices prosper. As I said a while back, I think this has turned into a long term investment now, 2-5 years, I'm leaving my investment BUT i'm playing with cash that I could lose, anyone who is banking on this cash and in the short term should be thinking long and hard, because in many ways and on standard valuation metrics this could easily go a lot lower.

The rabbit, if there is more likely to come in the results, Neill can't give any fresh news at the AGM.

[anley] 24/7/2020 09:25

WUZY..........there may be a rabbit out of the hat and if so all well and good..................BUT please tell us what rabbits he has pulled out of his hat at the last 2 AGM's.

Thanks

rovi7/supern,

Progress in hydrogen fuel cells definitely has a future in static facilities - but the whole idea of hydrogen cars ("Just around the corner" according to Ford in 1973 - 47 years ago) was never more than a ploy (backed by oil giants) to give oil a few more decades and to stall EVs, and it worked). General Motors last week confirmed that it has ditched all further development of hydrogen cars, conceding that falling battery costs make it pointless to try competing with battery powered EVs. Something some of us recognized many years ago ;-)

It's going to be an interesting AGM in September, less friendly than last 2 years and l suspect not as well attended unless something good happens In the next few weeks, hope they serve coffee and biscuits again.I suspect Neill will pull the rabbit out of the hat, long and strong.

"no news is good news" really? For how long? It's actually stagnation and further losses of capital.

chelsea,


The problem is in NR's world he knows what's going on, whereas the people that have invested their hard earned money, possibly at much higher prices, are sat watching the share price falling, and have no idea what's going on!

A couple of people having a go at Neill on Twitter last night for lack of news. His response:- “What’s the expression about walking a mile in a man’s shoes? In my world no news is good news”. Make of that what you will but I find it pretty positive.

Just in case, here's the paper, save you a Google:



'4. Conclusion

In summary, a scalable method that directly makes use of charged graphene sheets to reduce PtCl2 has been used to produce high quality graphene decorated with well-dispersed platinum nanoparticles (GD-Pt/G). GD-Pt/G has been shown to exhibit excellent activity toward the ORR, closely matching the performance and mechanism of a highly-optimised commercial Pt/C catalyst.

Furthermore, GD-Pt/G demonstrates very high stability, showing much smaller relative decreases in electrochemical surface area and performance than commercial Pt/C across a much larger number of cycles than previously reported in the literature. Transmission electron microscopy has been used to characterise the nanoparticle distribution across large surface areas.

Using identical location TEM, it has been shown that the relatively small changes in activity post-cycling may be attributed to the excellent durability of the graphene sheets, low levels of agglomeration and lack of detachment of platinum nanoparticles. As a result, it is expected that GD-Pt/G is suitable for scale up for use in membrane electrode assemblies within fuel cells and electrolysers.

As a general synthesis method this has the potential to produce different metal nanoparticles finely dispersed across graphene which could be tailored for electrochemical applications across the fields of catalysis, sensors and supercapacitors.'

Above post is spam, not VRS related.

[supernumerary] 23/7/2020 21:34

lol.

What did you think of rovi's link? Might it be an opportunity for VRS? Did you read the original paper?

PS Don't worry, just rhetorical questions...

[woodpeckers] 23/7/2020 20:29

supernumerary, can I suggest you google Iain Gray...you just might want to take that comment back....or should I say, I would hope that if you do proper research you will take that comment back.

[supernumerary] 23/7/2020 19:28

Got to have something to do with his time I suppose :¬)

rovi - interesting link, thanks. Nothing to do with VRS of course, but looks like a useful development for FCs.

Great to see one of our NEDs, Iain Gray, appointed to the Jet Zero Council...



Later today (22 July 2020), the Jet Zero Council will meet virtually for the first time, with the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Transport and the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy addressing the meeting.

Professor Iain Gray, Director of Aerospace at Cranfield University, Convenor of the UK Aerospace Research Consortium and Jet Zero Council member, said: “At Cranfield University, through our global research airport, we are playing our part in making aviation more environmentally sustainable. We are excited about working with our partners in industry, academia and Government on the Jet Zero Council to deliver on the UK’s ambitious priorities.

To kickstart work on the Transpennine main line between Leeds, Huddersfield and Manchester, £589 million has been confirmed today (23 July 2020) by Transport Secretary Grant Shapps. The establishment of a new Northern Transport Acceleration Council dedicated to accelerating vital infrastructure projects and better connecting communities across the North’s towns and cities has also been announced.
