Photocatalytic optical fibers convert water into hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Southampton have transformed optical fibers into photocatalytic microreactors that convert water into hydrogen fuel using solar energy. The microstructured optical fiber canes (MOFCs) with photocatalyst generate hydrogen that could power a wide range of sustainable applications. 9b01577.

New photocatalytic system converts carbon dioxide to valuable fuel more efficiently than natural photosynthesis

Green Car Congress

The new system mimics a natural chloroplast to convert carbon dioxide in water into methane, very efficiently using light. Photosynthesis is the process by which chloroplasts in plants and some organisms use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to create food or energy.

Stanford researchers make ammonia from air and water microdroplets

Green Car Congress

Stanford researchers, with a colleague from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, have developed a simple and environmentally sound way to make ammonia with tiny droplets of water and nitrogen from the air. Water microdroplets are the hydrogen source for N 2 in contact with Fe 3 O 4. —Song et al. Song et al.

Researchers develop highly efficient organometal halide perovskite photoelectrodes for water splitting

Green Car Congress

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting based on solar energy is one promising approach for the production of green hydrogen. However, its widespread application is limited by a lack of efficient photoanodes for catalyzing the rate-limiting oxygen evolution reaction (OER), an important reaction in PEC water splitting.

Study confirms €1T green hydrogen potential for Africa

Green Car Congress

Africa can produce 50 million tons of green hydrogen a year by 2035, according to a new study by the European Investment Bank (EIB), International Solar Alliance and the African Union, with the support of the Government of Mauritania, HyDeal and UCLG Africa. This is equivalent to energy costs of US$60 a barrel.
