Michael Grätzel at EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) in Switzerland has developed a highly efficient and low-cost water-splitting cell combining an advanced perovskite tandem solar cell and a bi-functional Earth-abundant catalyst. conversion efficiency from solar energy to hydrogen, a record with earth-abundant materials.

water splitting. One approach is to utilize incoming solar radiation for the photocatalytic generation of molecular hydrogen (H 2 ) from water. Photocatalytic synthesis of hydrogen gas from water requires the transfer of electrons to the hydrogen, while the holes interact with the oxygen or are scavenged by other molecules.

Aluminum and water react exothermically to form aluminum hydroxide and hydrogen; this basic property has lured numerous researchers interested in generating hydrogen from the aluminum-water reaction for modern transportation systems for at least 35 years.

The mesh with BiVO 4 nanowire photoanode for water oxidation and Rh-SrTiO 3 nanowire photocathode for water reduction produces hydrogen gas without an electron mediator. an “artificial leaf” to produce hydrogen—based on a nanowire mesh that lends itself to large-scale, low-cost production.

Bioscience engineers at KU Leuven have created a solar panel that produces hydrogen gas from moisture in the air. If that electric power is used to split the water into hydrogen gas and oxygen, you lose a lot of energy. m² that converts 15% of the sunlight straight into hydrogen gas. That’s how you get results.

Plants use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars and oxygen. The process starts in a cluster of manganese, calcium and oxygen atoms at the heart of a protein complex called photosystem II, which splits water to form oxygen gas, protons and electrons. —Yamaguchi et al.

Researchers at Stanford University, with colleagues at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and other institutions, have developed a nickel-based electrocatalyst for low-cost water-splitting for hydrogen production with performance close to that of much more expensive commercial platinum electrocatalysts.
