Photoelectrochemical water splitting harnesses sunlight to drive the separation of water into hydrogen and oxygen using semiconductor electrodes immersed in an aqueous electrolyte. Progress in this ...

Researchers have developed a novel device that produces oxygen inside of a 'living pharmacy' implant in order to keep cells alive inside the self-contained device. The device produses oxygen through a ...

A research team from two London universities have developed a multi-layer device that addresses the instability of organic materials in water to further their use in direct solar hydrogen generation.

The effective deposition of finely dispersed cobalt oxide (CoOx) nanoparticles within the mesoporous framework of the WO₃-F127 electrode is illustrated in this figure. The incorporation of CoOx takes ...

Take sunlight, add water, and there you have it: free energy. Plants have been doing this for quite some time, splitting water’s hydrogen apart from its oxygen, but our efforts to turn water into a ...

Scientists in Korea have built a green hydrogen system prototype that embeds a PV generation unit based on photoanodes made of perosvksite solar cells. The device purportedly achieved a ...

nside electrochemical devices, strong electric fields dramatically alter how water molecules behave. New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but ...

In nature, the behavior of systems—whether large or small—is always governed by a few fundamental principles. For instance, objects fall downward because it minimizes their energy. At the same time, ...
