A Cheaper Efficient Water Splitting System Design
April 8, 2020 | Leave a Comment
A Washington State University team has developed a less expensive water electrolysis system that works under alkaline conditions but still produces hydrogen at comparable rates to the currently used system that works under acidic conditions and requires precious metals. This advance brings down the cost of water splitting technology, offering a more viable way to […]

Tungsten Suboxide Improves Platinum Making Hydrogen
November 19, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Korea’s Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) researchers presented a new strategy for enhancing catalytic activity using tungsten suboxide as a single-atom catalyst (SAC). This strategy, which significantly improves hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in the metal platinum (pt) by 16.3 times, sheds light on the development of new electrochemical catalyst technologies. The research group’s […]

Lungs Inspire Electrocatalytic Water to Fuel Mechanism
January 2, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Scientists at Stanford University have designed an electrocatalytic mechanism that works like a mammalian lung to convert water into fuel. The research has been published in the journal Joule, showing how it could help existing clean energy technologies run more efficiently. The act of inhaling and exhaling is so automatic for most organisms that it […]

All In One Water Splitting Catalyst System
September 18, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München scientists have developed novel catalyst based on semiconductor nanoparticles that has been shown to facilitate all the reactions needed for water splitting ‘artificial photosynthesis’. A solar-powered water splitting system is a promising means of generating clean and short term storable fuel. Today there is a demand to develop efficient ways of obtaining and […]

A New Way For Light to Drive Water Splitting
September 11, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Researchers at St John’s College, University of Cambridge have used semi-artificial photosynthesis to explore new ways to produce and store solar energy. They used natural sunlight to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen using a mixture of biological components and human-made technologies. The researchers have successfully split water into hydrogen and oxygen by altering […]
