Rice team develops plasmonic photocatalyst for one-step light-driven conversion of H2S to hydrogen and sulfur

Green Car Congress

Thousands of tons of the gas are made each year by refineries, petrochemical plants and other industries as a byproduct of processes that remove sulfur from petroleum, natural gas, coal and other products. Known as the Claus process, it produces sulfur but no hydrogen, which it instead converts into water.
