For the first time, Northwestern University scientists have watched water molecules in real-time as they prepared to give up electrons to form oxygen. In the crucial moment before producing oxygen, ...

To explore the reason why water splitting suffers from inefficiency, the researchers applied a sophisticated new light-based technique called phase-resolved second harmonic generation. Shown here, the ...

As the global pursuit for sustainable energy solutions intensifies, water splitting remains a promising avenue for producing clean hydrogen fuels. But the process of splitting water into hydrogen and ...

Hydrogen has long been billed as the clean fuel that could power steel mills, cargo ships and even long-haul trucks without pumping carbon into the atmosphere, but splitting water to make it has ...

A new contender is rising in the clean-energy arena — electrolysis, which produces green hydrogen by splitting water molecules. Electrolysers are attracting billions in infrastructure investment as ...

Electrocatalysts play a key role in enabling hydrogen generation through water splitting. Among the latest materials under investigation, two-dimensional (2D) materials known as MXenes have shown ...

A next-generation reactor could transform water and sunlight into clean fuel. The idea relies on a natural but complex process: splitting water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen using photocatalysts.

Indian scientists have developed a scalable device that produces green hydrogen, one of the cleanest fuels, by splitting water molecules using only solar energy. Green hydrogen is capable of ...

Scientists have long sought to understand the exact mechanism behind water splitting by carbon nitride catalysts. For the first time, Dr. Paolo Giusto and his team captured the step-by-step ...
