When platinum clusters are deposited on octahedral titanium dioxide nanoparticles, a photocatalyst is obtained that produces higher quantities of hydrogen and, more importantly, is much more stable ...

The original story “ New platinum-free photocatalyst turns sunlight and water into renewable energy ” is published in The ...

The performance of a fuel cell—a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy—depends on how well the ions can move through the cell's material. Most current fuel cells operate at high ...

When burned or used in fuel cells, hydrogen produces nothing but water, making it an ideal candidate for reducing global carbon emissions. Yet, most of the hydrogen produced today comes from fossil ...

As part of ongoing efforts to develop materials that could enable alternative energy sources, researchers have produced a titanium oxide nanofilament material that can harness sunlight to unlock the ...

Harnessing sunlight to power the future has taken a major step forward thanks to new research on nanosized oxyhalide photocatalysts. A team of Japanese scientists has demonstrated that shrinking and ...

How can we produce clean hydrogen without burning fossil hydrocarbons or other non-renewable energy sources? We can do so through photoelectrochemistry, or artificial photosynthesis, a method ...

Clean energy plans, including the U.S. Infrastructure Investment Act’s “Clean Hydrogen Road Map,” are counting on hydrogen as a fuel of the future. But current hydrogen separation technology is still ...
