HOUSTON – (Oct. 20, 2022) – Creating a hydrogen economy is no small task, but Rice University engineers have discovered a method that could make oxygen evolution catalysis in acids, one of the most ...

The future economy based on renewable and sustainable energy sources might utilize battery-powered cars, large-scale solar and wind farms, and energy reserves stored in batteries and chemical fuels.

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 ...

Scientists have gained important new insight into how the performance of a promising semiconducting thin film can be optimized at the nanoscale for renewable energy technologies such as solar fuels.

A City University of Hong Kong research team has successfully mediated poor charge carrier transport at low voltage by adding phosphorus to a metal oxide catalyst. Metal oxides are a promising ...

In electrocatalytic water splitting, electrical energy drives the dissociation of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen at catalytic electrodes. On the cathode, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER ...

A water-splitting cell built without platinum or any other precious metal has now run continuously for more than 1,000 hours at the kind of electrical throughput that commercial hydrogen plants demand ...

Carbon nitride materials, in particular polymeric graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), have emerged as promising photocatalysts for the solar-driven splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen. The ...
