The photocatalytic water splitting process holds appeal for scientists as a solution to both energy and environmental problems. In this process, water is split into oxygen and hydrogen using light ...

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 ...

Niigata, Japan - In the recent past, there has been a paradigm shift towards renewable sources of energy in order to address the concerns pertaining to environmental degradation and dwindling fossil ...

Hetero-interfaces have the potential to not only address the drawbacks of single-phase materials but also to develop new capabilities for water-splitting applications. A paper accepted for publication ...

Japanese scientists have built a chalcopyrite PV device for tandem solar cells and water splitting for hydrogen generation. The device has a power conversion efficiency of 11.05%, an open-circuit ...

Researchers have developed a novel method using facet-selective, ultrafine cocatalysts to efficiently split water to create hydrogen -- a clean source of fuel. Scientists are urgently searching for ...

Scientists in Belgium have designed a solar-powered electrolyzer that uses standard-sized, large area shingled silicon PV for water splitting. The system is reportedly able to achieve ...
