MIT team outlines path to low-cost solar-to-fuels devices; the artificial leaf

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers at MIT has described a framework for efficiently coupling the power output of a series-connected string of single-band-gap solar cells to an electrochemical process that produces storable fuels. This paper performs an equivalent circuit analysis for multiple series-connected devices. Source: Winkler et al.

KTH team develops new cost-effective water-splitting electrocatalyst for H2 production

Green Car Congress

Some precious metal-based electrocatalysts, such as IrO 2 and RuO 2 , have shown excellent performance for water oxidation; however, they suffer from high-cost and relative scarcity of precious metals, which limits their applications.
