September 8, 2015 | Leave a Comment
Rice University researchers have demonstrated an efficient new way to capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into clean, renewable hydrogen fuel by splitting water molecules. The new technology relies sunlight-harvesting gold nanoparticles. It looks to be the first true solar water splitter. The team’s research paper has been published online in the American […]

A Boston College team of researchers has achieved the first ‘unassisted’ solar water splitting using the abundant rust-like mineral hematite and silicon to capture and store solar energy into hydrogen gas. So far finding an efficient solar water splitting method to mine electron-rich hydrogen for clean power has been thwarted by the poor performance of […]
