Electrocatalysts play a key role in enabling hydrogen generation through water splitting. Among the latest materials under investigation, two-dimensional (2D) materials known as MXenes have shown ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has developed stable and efficient chalcogenide-based photoelectrodes, addressing a ...

For the first time, Northwestern University scientists have watched water molecules in real-time as they prepared to give up ...

To explore the reason why water splitting suffers from inefficiency, the researchers applied a sophisticated new light-based technique called phase-resolved second harmonic generation. Shown here, the ...

When it comes to greener ways to power our cars, two main avenues are emerging: battery electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (HCEVs) like the Toyota Mirai. Although ...

Hydrogen is a promising clean energy source with great potential to replace greenhouse gas-emitting fossil fuels. While total water (H2O) splitting is the easiest way to obtain hydrogen (H2), this ...

University of Michigan researchers developed a new photocatalytic water splitting system that is reportedly able to reach a 9.2% solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency. The proposed system uses the higher ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...
