Solar Powered Water Splitting Boosted Two Ways

August 25, 2021 | Leave a Comment

Nagoya Institute of Technology scientists combined two promising photocatalysts to obtain higher solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency and durability in a water splitting cell. Both industry and academia have been focusing heavily on hydrogen as a feasible clean alternative fuel. Hydrogen is practically inexhaustible and when reacted to generate energy, only produces water vapor. However, to realize […]

One More Step to Cheaper Hydrogen Production

August 12, 2021 | Leave a Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Penn State researchers report that they have taken a step toward overcoming the challenge of inexpensive hydrogen production. They report to have taken the step by using supercomputers to find materials that could help accelerate hydrogen separation when water is exposed to light, a process called photocatalysis. Using solar energy to inexpensively harvest hydrogen […]
