Sunlight can be used to produce green hydrogen directly from water in photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells. So far, most systems based on this 'direct approach' have not been energetically competitive.

The photoelectrochemical (PEC) overall water-splitting reaction (OWS) has been fully developed in the past decade, especially in the new catalysts, characterization methods and reaction mechanisms.

Hydrogen can be produced via the electrolytic splitting of water. One option here is the use of photoelectrodes that convert sunlight into voltage for electrolysis in so called photoelectrochemical ...

The last ten years have seen the complete development of the Photo Electro Chemical (PEC) overall water-splitting reaction (OWS), particularly with regard to new catalysts, characterization techniques ...

A team from the Institute for Solar Fuels at HZB has now studied water splitting at increased pressure under photoelectrochemical (PEC)-relevant circumstances. This study was published in Nature ...

Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology researchers have unveiled designs for advanced solar hydrogen production systems to broaden the application of LC biomass. Mitsubishi has started ...

A research team has developed OHP-based photoanodes for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, minimizing the usual limitations. Meanwhile, China released its first hydrogen guideline, and ...

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 ...

The conversion of solar energy into chemical fuels via photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting represents a promising route for sustainable energy production. This approach integrates ...

Hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis of water, ideally with solar cells or wind power providing the electrical energy required. This "green" hydrogen is expected to play an important role in the ...
