It’s possible to produce hydrogen to power fuel cells by extracting the gas from seawater, but the electricity required to do it makes the process costly. UCF researcher Yang Yang has come u... Read more
Berkeley Lab advance is first demonstration of efficient, light-powered production of fuel via artificial photosynthesis Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National L... Read more
A team of scientists at the University of Cambridge has developed a way of using solar power to generate a fuel that is both sustainable and relatively cheap to produce. It’s using natural l... Read more
IU chemists create molecular ‘leaf’ that collects and stores solar power without solar panels An international team of scientists led by Liang-shi Li at Indiana University has ac... Read more
New Materials Could Turn Water into the Fuel of the Future Researchers at Caltech and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have—in just two years—nearly doubled the number of... Read more
A team at the HZB Institute for Solar Fuels has developed a process for providing sensitive semiconductors for solar water splitting (“artificial leaves”) with an organic, transparent protec... Read more
In one hour, the sun puts out enough energy to power every vehicle, factory and device on the planet for an entire year. Solar energy has long been used as a clean alternative to fossil fuel... Read more
The team’s new analysis shows that efficiencies of 16 percent or more should now be possible Bringing the concept of an “artificial leaf” closer to reality, a team of resea... Read more
