New light-driven photo-electrochemical cell produces hydrogen from contaminated gas, including air

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the University of Antwerp and KU Leuven (University of Leuven), Belgium, have developed an all-gas-phase solid and stand-alone photo-electrochemical (PEC) cell that produces hydrogen gas from volatile organic contaminated air and light. We use a small device with two rooms separated by a membrane. Verbruggen et al.
