New Catalyst Efficiently Splits Hydrogen From Water
March 21, 2013 | Leave a Comment
University of Oregon (UO) chemists say that ultra-thin films of nickel and iron oxides are promising catalysts to split to water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. The nickel and iron oxides are made through a solution synthesis process that when combined with semiconductor devices that capture sunlight, can perform electrolysis. The researchers work in the […]

Better Way to Split Water Developed
October 31, 2011 | 2 Comments
Many research teams have been searching for more efficient catalysts to speed the splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen. The reaction is key to the production of hydrogen as a fuel for use in cars; to generate electricity in fuel cells, the operation of some rechargeable batteries, including zinc-air batteries; and for the industrial […]

New Information on Splitting Water with Sunlight
July 5, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Currently titanium oxide-based sunlight energized photo catalysis is the most efficient, yet poorly understood conversion process for hydrogen generation by water splitting using solar energy. Making use of solar to process water to hydrogen is considered a major challenge and goal because it offers a direct sun to fuel solution. Scientists of the KIT Institute […]
