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 ...

Chemists are working on energy storage and conversion research. This work is part of a new study that solves a key, fundamental barrier in the electrochemical water splitting process where the Lin Lab ...

Splitting water molecules takes more energy than calculations suggest, and is a key roadblock to cheap hydrogen fuel production. Now, scientists have discovered why. When you purchase through links on ...

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 ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a scalable hydrothermal approach for obtaining ferromagnetic single-atom spin catalysts which can boost the efficiency of water ...

Having used fossil fuels for over a century for nearly everything, humanity has triggered a climate crisis. Now, the directive is to achieve net zero emissions or carbon neutrality by 2050. A hydrogen ...

Metal oxides are a promising catalyst for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting to produce hydrogen as alternative energy. However, their effectiveness is restricted at low voltage. A research ...

While solar cells and wind turbines are the devices many people will think of for off-grid electricity production, the development of practical artificial photosynthesis for the creation of hydrogen ...
