Researchers at the National Synchrotron Light Source are working on a more robust catalyst to be used in solar – hydrogen production. The scientists are x-raying cobalt-based thin films to determine their reactive properties. According to the Brookhaven National Laboratory, “Due to the mechanical and electrical complexity of the water-splitting reaction, there are many requirements • Read More »

Solar Water Splitting Method in South Korea Breaks Record
September 26, 2013 | By Hydro Kevin Kantola | Comments Off on Solar Water Splitting Method in South Korea Breaks Record | Filed in: Green Hydrogen, Hydrogen Fuel Production.Scientists at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), South Korea have created an iron oxide (hematite) photoanode. Since rust never sleeps, this iron oxide photoanode has broken the record in efficiency for solar-hydrogen production at 5.3 percent. The previous record was set by some Swiss scientists at 4.2 percent efficiency. According to UNIST, • Read More »
