Sparc Hydrogen to test photocatalytic water splitting (PWS) reactor at CSIRO

Green Car Congress

The Sparc Green Hydrogen process combines concentrated solar (CS) with photocatalytic water splitting. This testing has shown a hydrogen production and efficiency benefit from exposing certain photocatalyst materials to concentrated light and heat. A second round of testing later in the year will be considered pending results.

New stable water-splitting catalyst doesn’t require expensive iridium

Green Car Congress

Researchers have developed a nickel-stabilized, ruthenium dioxide (Ni-RuO 2 ) anode catalyst for proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis. The Ni-RuO 2 catalyst shows high activity and durability in acidic OER for PEM water electrolysis. Illustration by Zhen-Yu Wu. 2 , suggesting potential for practical applications.
